Then What Is Your Name?

Another find for the masses! It’s The Ting Tings, a proper indie electro-pop duo from the UK. The band, composed of Jules De Martino and Katie White, has been toting around the same single, “That’s Not My Name”, for a while now, though only now are they finally starting to get some deserved response. The single will now be released on May 12th. An accompanying video premiered on the band’s Bebo site a little while ago, so I thought I’d introduce the song. It’s a little bit garage band, some trace amounts of Beach Boys–esque influence, and a whole lot of fun. I’m also getting a Rogue Traders vibe, which means a lot of faux-rock style and glammish rebellion. Right now, you can go here to pre-order the single and snag a signed poster. Or you can listen to the song in shit quality I posted below. The choice is yours!

And for anyone interested in their other single, “Great DJ”, you can find the original video here. Sorry, it’s un-embeddable because it’s official, and therefore cooler than this site.
