The Ting Tings at the Prince Bandroom

It’s been a whole week since I saw The Ting Tings (28/01/09), man I am one lazy bugger. This gig was at a different venue from the last few I have been to, The Pince Bandroom. It’s been a long time between drinks since I was last at the Prince, the last time I saw M.I.A. (warning to epileptics that there are a lot of flashing colours) in 2006. It’s a nice venue with a balcony allowing you to get some fresh air before the performance, this was important before the bans on smoking came in a few years ago. Now the Ting Tings…

I had a great position at the front of the stage, though occationally pushed out of the way by photographers. Katie and Jules played about 8 songs in the set, made up of:

  • Great DJ
  • Be the One
  • Traffic Light
  • Fruit Machine
  • We Walk
  • We Started Nothing
  • Shut Up and Let Me Go
  • That’s Not My Name (encore)

This was most of their album, I’m not sure if they have any songs outside of these. Since they have only been around for the last year when they hit big with “That’s Not My Name” and “Great DJ” it is not suprising. The Performance was short but full of energy with Katie running around the stage leaning over the crowd. The crowd was really into the performance as well with most of the songs accompanied by the sound of the crowd singing along. I took some great videos (if I don’t say so myself) of each of the singles:

That’s Not My Name

Shut Up and Let Me Go

Great DJ

I was there too and i thought they rocked, I would have loved to see them up there a bit longer (and a bit earlier as well, as they didn’t come on until 10.15pm) – but considering they performed 8 out of 10 songs on their album it’s hard to complain. Great pics and videos! It reminded me of how brilliant the night was!
