The Ting Tings / Bowery Ballroom

The summer's big breakout?

June 18, 2008

This British duo became something of an overnight sensation thanks to the inclusion of their single “Shut Up and Let Me Go” in one of those inescapable iPod commercials. The song gives you a pretty good idea of what the British duo is about: danceable, new wave-influenced pop. (Think “Rapture”-era Blondie with more electronics). Could we be witnessing the birth of this summer’s Feist? Fiddle phenom Anni Rossi opened.
