Members crossways Posted January 18, 2010 Members Share Posted January 18, 2010 I watched SnL this weekend and musical guest was the Ting Tings. Never heard of 'em...and 10 seconds in I knew why. I generally am a child of the 80's hard rock/hair metal or straight up blues rock. guitars, bass, drumms, good vocals. That's what I like. I always DVR SnL and FF through sketches and bands I don't like. I bet I haven't watched 2 bands in the last year on SnL. But I watched both songs all the way through. I was intrigued. I am not sure I can say I am a fan, but I sort of, in a weird way liked them. I don't get it. No guitars, - ; no singing...monotone vocals, - ; all other instruments were sequenced, - but I watched.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanlatte Posted January 18, 2010 Members Share Posted January 18, 2010 One of my guilty pleasures. In small doses of course, not sure I could handle an entire album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbird 13 Posted January 18, 2010 Members Share Posted January 18, 2010 They're different.. but I don't know how "talented" they are. I saw them on TV on some New Years' show in Dec 08/Jan 09.. and they were HORRIBLE.. but I have to admit to tapping my foot to some of the music.

Members Austincowbell Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 we do a mashup of "Shut up and let me go" and "take me out" by Franz Ferdinand. What's not to like? Catchy hooky pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I just listened to That's Not My Name on their web page. Me like! My god... what happened to me? I like the throwback to 80s new wave. At least, that what I think it sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crossways Posted January 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 My biggest "turn-off" is the live aspect of hearing bass, keys, guitar and seeing no instruments. On a cd I think I would totally get in to it. Although the singer is mezmorizing for some reason to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, found the girl fun to watch. I mean, she's no supermodel, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
