(on being called The Ting Tings) "The name had two 'Tings', and there were two of us."
(on music he liked as a child) "The classics: Beatles, Elvis, etc. My approach to music was very strange. My mum said that I'd always listen to the B-sides, I was in love with what was going on with the B-sides. Musically, I was into production and the B-sides always had something more experimental, not necessarily driven by the hits. I was attracted to that. The flipside of a single was usually the strongest track."
(on his first instrument, the drums) "It wasn't really a band, but when you're that young, you think it's a band. I started tolearn guitar, I wanted to be out in front. Eventually I met Katie. I was in London in a band and Katie was in a band passing through the city. We both weren't happy in the bands we were in. I really loved Manchester. There's a lot more bands, a lot more clubs."
(on Katie White) "She reminded me of Janis Joplin, Ricky Lee Jones, people like that; she had this slightly folky jazzy lazy vocal and she had this thing. We both got into Portishead and thought it would be great if we couldmake that kind of music together"
(on Dear Eskiimo) "It all went wrong"
"We've got two of these machines and a friend of mine, who's really good at electronics, and I took them apart. We soldered the motherboards to give an interaction between the twomachines. I wanted the systems to function in a slightly different way than when you buy them so we hardwired them. The two machines are working simultaneously giving me a lot more memory, a load more loops and more versatility on my pedals.
"We can create loads of different layers of music. We make 'mistakes' all the time, if I hit the wrong pedal, Katie will look at me, change the chords and we go into a jam. We change up our song order quite a lot. There's no right order, no time code, it's all completely live. It's a wonderful way to work.
"What's wonderful about the Ting Tings is every step of ladder that we climb is a new experience. We set up a phone line in the UK and asked people to phone in and leave their name. So we have all this audio, we're going to lay everybody's name over the track 'That's Not My Name' and that will be its B-side. That's how we can continue to interact with the audience. We love playing live and the experience is so rewarding. Doing our own recordings and our own art work and having that interaction wherever we are in the world is something that keeps us human."
