If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Katie White and Jules De Martino of The Ting Tings spent their formative years in a series of hapless bands - indeed, their first collaboration, Dear Eskiimo, was dumped by its record label before even releasing an album.

In The Ting Tings, though, they have finally struck gold. Their recent album We Started Nothing and ubiquitous single That's Not My Name both topped the charts earlier this year.

Add to this a plucky performance at Glastonbury, and the Salford duo came to Koko last night for the iTunes Festival on the crest of a wave.

De Martino proved that males can multi-task by simultaneously banging a bass drum and strumming a guitar on the set-opener We Walk.

White sounded like Girls Aloud's talented missing sister on the sassy pop of Great DJ; Debbie Harry on the minimalist punk of Be The One; and a genuine star of her own on the spiky Shut Up And Let Me Go.

Unfortunately, she also sounded rather weedy on the dreary ballad Traffic Light. Still, in That's Not My Name the Ting Tings had an anthem to get even this most sedentary of crowds moving.

There was nothing here that suggested longevity; plenty that suggested sugary summer fun.
