An Intriguing Message From The Ting Tings

This was posted today, but to be honest it seems fairly unlikely that you'd get a place now. Still, it sounds interesting.

"We are doing a secret gig / paint somewhere in central Manchester on the evening of the 27th of Feb.
the first 300 people to message me back on

-will get free tickets. You will have to pick up the tickets on the door, on the night, so we need you to email your post codes along with your names to the googlemail address.

Oh Yeah, you will need to be OK with getting paint splattered on you and to wear a white tracksuit when at the gig to protect your clothes (we will provide tracksuits when you arrive).
This will be really funny!

Also we are going to be painting, ( more like throwing paint!) over a limited run of calvin harris remixes of 'we walk'. once dry, we will send everyone that came to the gig a free copy. Of course we will also be playing a gig for you all and bringing in all the new stuff we are doing on this uk tour, including brass section. It sounds wicked.

Thats it. Go email us now if you can defffo make it on the night.
