The Ting Tings were the musical guest on SNL over the weekend. They performed two of their biggest hits, "Shut Up & Let Me Go" and "That's Not My Name."

COACHELLA WRAP-UP

I was completely bummed that I wasn't able to attend this years Coachella Festival in Indio, California. I had intended to go, but I ended up going out of town at the last minute, which left me coachless. Also, musicbleep scored an interview with the talented James Morrison, but that fell through at the last minute as well. I guess it just wasn't meant for me this year. Big shout out to Allen for representing and putting on his journalistic hat last minute (even if he didn't get to use it).

It's ok...not upset! There are a ton more festivals in the upcoming month and I plan to attend at least a couple.

So, if you didn't make Coachella this year - check out some videos I found for you all!

WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO - THE TING TINGS

You must watch the latest creation from The Tings Tings! It's called "We Walk" and it's another outstanding video from this dynamic duo.

WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO - THE TING TINGS

That's Not My Name


THEIR BACK!! We haven't seen anything new from The Ting Tings in awhile, but the band is back with their second single off their U.S. release. "That's Not My Name" was actually the very first song I heard from them, and was instantly hooked. Now lets just hope they come back around on another US tour!

Also, check out another version released in the UK awhile back for the same single. Which one do you like better? I dig the original!

THE TING TINGS: THAT IS THEIR NAME!

MTV caught up with The Ting Tings on the set of their latest video, 'That's Not My Name' being shot in the desert 40 minutes north of Los Angeles.

PHOTOS FROM "ABOUT LAST NIGHT"

Here are few of many photos from the show on Tuesday night. I take great photos, huh? I totally need a way better camera with more pixels! A new camera is on my x-mas wish list or maybe I'll start taking donations!

I WANNA BE THE ONE!

I can't get over my love for The Ting Tings, and I really don't have to! I just saw them on Tuesday, and I already can't wait until the next time I see them in L.A!

Here is the latest video for their single "Be The One."

The Ting Tings - Be The One

ABOUT LAST NIGHT

THE SHOW WAS INSANE! SUCH AN INSANE SHOW…that all I can say. I mean, FIRST LVD WAS OOC (out of control) AMAZING! However, I have beef with whoever put the set list together, cuz this American Idol BIZNATCH (ALICE), should have opened the show instead of LVD. Second, she didn't even fit the vibe of the show. I seriously could have stayed home and watched Dreamgirls if I wanted to see that type of show. Also, I think LVD needed to be on a different bill...I LOVE THEM TO DEATH, but they need to do a gig with similar acts. SERIOUSLY – my friend and I were the only ones going ape shit over them – the rest of the crowd were like zombies ( I mean some peeps were screaming but there was like no energy). Im like what the ef is wrong with these people?

The crowd went crazy for Santogold and The Ting Tings, which is probably why most of them were there. In the future, LVD needs to be on a bill with like Coldplay or The Killer – something with a similar fan base! I am sure they have gotten great exposure from this, but still not the greatest fit for them! Anyhoo…LVD were once again amazing! Hopefully they gained a few more fans from the night and at least they got to play the Wiltern. Santogold was hot and one bad ass beyotch! Mates of State were RAD and the cutest mates I have ever seen.

The Ting Tings were BRILLZ but had a few tech difficulties which totally upset them. They unfortunately had a different crew for this performance, which is what brought on those tech issues, leaving them to exit the stage early – PEEPS were PISSED! I still heart them though!! And reports (we received first hand) were they had all intentions to come back to the stage last night, but the crew didn't know what to fix and how to resolve the sound issues, thus leaving all us fans angry and yearning for more TT.

GOOD NEWS is that The Ting Tings plan to make up for last night with another show in early November. I will keep you posted on all the latest with that! All in all it was an amazing night of music! LOVED IT! I have many photos to post, but I just haven't had time as of yet. The show went from 7pm to Midnight, so it was basically like a mini festival…SO TIRED today!

LOTS OF PHOTOS COMING SOON!


In the meantime, check out an acoustic version of "Shut Up And Let Me Go" on KROQ's Kevin & Bean this past Monday.

THE MAGIC KINGDOM

I never thought today would get here fast enough. I feel like a kid the night before you are about to spend the day at an amusement park.

Well, tonight is my amusement park and I am going to be taken on a ride with Low vs. Diamond, Mates of State, Santogold and The Ting Tings as they roll through L.A. and make their stop at the Wiltern.

If you have no plans, you must must must see this show. All these acts put on an amazing show and I'm sooo excited to be able to see them again.

LVD goes on at 7pm, so make sure you get there early so not to miss!

PICK ME UP...I JUST FAINTED!

UH OK....I THINK I JUST SHIT MY PANTS!!! MY FAVORITE BAND - LOW VS DIAMOND IS GOING ON TOUR WITH SANTOGOLD, MATES OF STATE , AND IN L.A. - THE TING TINGS GET IN ON THE ACTION!! I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT, CUZ IM IN LOVE WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ACTS!!!

I'M NOT SURE WHEN TIX GO ON SALE, BUT I'M SOOOOOO THERE! KEEP YOU POSTED!!

YOU CAN'T MISS THIS SHOW!

SHUT UP I SAW THE SHOW!

Finally, after a few SOLD OUT shows in L.A., The Ting Tings invaded the El Rey last night, playing once again to a SOLD OUT crowd. This time I scored my tickets early enough, so I was assured not to miss out!



After a painful performance by this white rapper (luckiest guy to score an opening spot for The Ting Tings), the dynamic duo took the stage. Singing hits from their debut album WE STARTED NOTHING, which included "That's Not My Name", "Great DJ" and of course their massive hit "Shut Up And Let Me Go." Actually, I think every song off their album is AMAZING and could be massive hits!

There has been so much buzz around this band ever since they had their single "Shut Up And Let Me Go" in that iPod commercial, and last night I was lucky enough to have a front row seat to their hotness. Seriously, I have been to a lot of shows in the past few months, but these two killed it! It was probably one of my favorite shows.



Get your yourself a copy of their album TODAY! I have a widget to the right where you can click on and purchase it directly from Amazon for $6.99. It's definitely one of my picks for the summer...

THAT'S NOT MY NAME

TGIFF - we made it through another week!! I'm about ready to leave town for some much deserved rest, but before I go I wanted to share this song/band with you.

The name of the band is The Ting Tings. They are an English indie/electronic band, consisting of Jules De Martino and Katie White. Katie looks a bit like Kylie Minogue and sounds like a better version of Avril Lavigne

I love what I am hearing from these two and I really love their song 'That's Not My Name'. They are gonna be huge, so I want you to listen to them all weekend long! They hit Los Angeles on June 13 & 14th!!
