The Ting Tings are finally coming to town tonight! At the Bluebird. Check out our review tomorrow morning; in the meantime, peep a video below. And a, shall we say, different video after the jump of the Ting Tings as imagined in a different sort of way.... "That's Not My Name": ALVIN! SIMON! THEODOOOOOOOORE!

Hard choices tonight in town. At Off Broadway is Thao with the Get Down Stay Down , on her first headlining tour, while the Bluebird hosts HEALTH . I hear HEALTH is headlining (last of four bands), so perhaps you can hit both shows; I know I'm going to. HEALTH ( MySpace ) Sounds Like: "With either electro new-wave percussion or booming war drums at the core of its songs, HEALTH then layers [...]
