The Ting Tings to play Dublin and Belfast

They'll play Spring & Airbrake, Belfast on April 11 and Dublin's Village on April 12, supporting their debut album We Started Nothing, which appears several days later on April 19.

Tickets for the Dublin show, which forms part of the Bud Rising lineup, are priced €15 and are available now from Ticketmaster. Tickets for Belfast are £11.

The duo are also asking fans to help them record their next B-side. If you can scrounge together the cost of an international call, ring +44 20 7384 7810 before March 24 and leave your name on the answering machine.

The voices will then be sampled for the track 'That's My Name?', which will appear as the b-side to the next single 'That's Not My Name', released on May 12.
