Ting Tings

In 2008 this little UK duo put out an annoyingly catchy song about someone getting called the wrong name. It was bloody annoying, but gosh darn if it didn't get stuck in your head. And apparently it got stuck in everyone else's, because they sold out a very hastily organised tour of Australia.

At the time I made the call that they'd be a one-hit wonder band. Time went by, we all forgot about them. Then they announced they were playing Splendour with some new songs in hand, only to pull out merely days before the festival. I took this as validation of my 2 year old theory.

So after taking time off from not showing up to Splendour and to work on their album, you think they'd have dropped their new album by now (and not become a Chinese Democracy farce). But no. Although there is now hope...

...as they have been announced to be playing the Good Vibrations festival, sweeping into the Gold Coast on February 19th next year.

There's a new song on their MySpace, so maybe they'll prove my thoughts of the last 2 years wrong.
