Face Of Cheam

This was postponed from a month ago due to a Brixton power cut! Having seen the Ting Tings over a year ago, just before the album came out I was interested to see how they have progressed. The album is good and has been sucessful globally. Unfortuantely the live act has not progressed. Still just the two of them for the majority of the time, they have added a horn section, but alas, they are still over reliant on programming and backing tapes. The tunes are singalong pop and danceable to and I did enjoy them, but at £20.00 in a bigger venue you firstly expect something more than just the 35 minute album and maybe a better visual spectacular, if they really don't want to expand into a proper band playing all notes live. Currently you may as well just put the CD on, as the live experiance doesn't enhance matters the way it should. Still maybe when they have some new songs we'll see them again and bop along to That's Not My Name!

Set - We Walk / Great DJ / Fruit Machine / Keep Your Head / Traffic Light / Be The One / We Started Nothing / Shut Up And Let Me Go //// Impacilla Carpisung / That's Not My Name
