Ting Tings talk about shaky start
2:41pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
THE Ting Tings' Katie White and Jules De Martino have been speaking about how they formed a band, ahead of the release of their debut album which will be available from Monday.
"She played a D chord that I'd taught her, badly," said Jules. "She was swinging the guitar round and screaming and kept dropping it.
"That was the moment. We found our energy through a bum chord that turned into Great DJ'. We created a loop and we were off."
Titled We Started Nothing, the album will feature the limited-edition singles Great DJ, That's Not My Name and Fruit Machine.
The duo will play a free acoustic gig at Manchester's HMV store, on Market Street, on Monday at 12.30pm.
