The Ting Tings Quotes:
I think real pop like as opposed to fake pop. We write and produce it ourselves so we’re not a really poppy band on paper because we don’t even work with producers, we do it all ourselves and you don’t get many pop bands like that.
-Katie White

Also to get ourselves in a position where you can do quite big venues and really put on your show. We’ve got loads of ideas there because there are only two of us we don’t wanna hire in more musicians to make it interesting. I think it’s quite easy for a lot of bands to do that but we’re really quite sort of tenacious about keeping it as a two pieceas loops and making people understand what loop pedals do. We’d like to go into controlling the sound and the lights with our feet. Just sort of to get all this music, noise and light like what we’re going through onstage, how were expressing ourselves just really get to that stage where we can go really out there for our performances.
-Katie White
