Our favorite band of SXSW, fun and energetic.. The Ting Tings.

We'll be doing a lot SXSW posts because it's always such a good time. There are so many bands and shows that we saw, we must give cred.

The Ting Tings are cool because they only started in 2006 as a party band. She, Katie White, had a pop bubblegum thing going and Jules Katie White and Jules De Martino a very dark, serious production. The two put their styles together discovered through their mutual respect for Portishead and came up with The Ting Tings sound.

The party list at SXSW includes Rachael Ray because her love of indie music. Does this even make sense?

I'll be there. I've got to see what Rachel does with indie music and she's gonna be serving drinks and snacks. Yum!
