I expected to go see a guilty pleasure. They are bouncy and poppy with good harmonies and a cute girly British voice heading up the tunes. Besides that, the Ting Tings have been known to cause the occasional happy-solo-dance party in my living room. Others may write them off as pop, but that didn’t stop me checking them out last week when they hit town, promoting their new album.
What I didn’t expect was a wild and rockilicious show that I got. Despite being only two, they brought energy, quirkiness and a splash of badass that clearly graduates them out of any basic pop standard. They went from synth to guits to drums to crowd to mics to upstage to upsidedown; keeping us overwhelmingly entertained and still producing better then studio quality sound. And neither of the two were 
hard on the eyes either… Her as a punky, innocent vixen and him strange, stylish and tight in the right places; and the both with the type of eyes that pierce through you to naked…..
…What was I saying?…Right. There was enough personality on stage that despite their music becoming so popular, there is nothing industry produced or disingenuous about what we saw. And judging from the songs we heard, their new album has only expanded their already likable sound. This show solidified it; I am an avid fan and there is no longer anything *guilty* in my pleasure for the Ting Tings.
