We met on Twitter. We fell in love in 140 characters or less. We have a common interest in music. We love festivals, that communal coming together of like minds. I play the guitar, Rachel plays the drums. We lived 140 miles away from each other but 140 miles is nothing in cyberspace. Within four months Rachel had moved down to London with her drums. Luckily one of my flatmates had fallen in love with a nice girl 140 miles away and was moving out. We formed a band. You wouldn't have heard of us but we're a bit like the Tings Tings although in our band the drummer's female and the guitarist is male, a bit like the White Stripes but not really if you see what I mean.
When we saw the advert asking for young thin white indie musicians who fell in love on Twitter we immediately contacted ITV. They filmed us holding hands in the park and looking lovingly into each others eyes. They filmed the band too but they didn't show the performance on morning television as they said it wasn't suitable for their audience. We feel a bit let down but we're going to carry on as we think we've got something to offer.

Ting Tings means "small, cute penis" in Japanese.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the meaning behind YOUR band’s name?
Oh God, I didn't know. I've had enough penises for one day!
ReplyDeleteShe wore pale pantyhose. Of this I am sure.
ReplyDeleteSo that's why they sing "That's not my name".
ReplyDeleteArabella - Indie boys are suckers for pale pantyhose.
ReplyDeleteRog - The drummer is flattered yet deflated.
I suppose Twitter is more immediate than carving messages on tree trunks, but the end result can't be much different.
ReplyDeleteBut you can send direct messages on Twitter so you can keep it secret from the world then answer an ad to appear on ITV.
