The Ting Tings have told the Daily Star that live shows were often a disaster for the chart topping duo.
The band, who had both a number one single with 'That's Not My Name' and a number one album with 'We Started Nothing', admitted that it took some time before they perfected their performances on stage.
"We did our first proper gig at the Birmingham Barfly. It was where Katie picked up the guitar for the first time � but she couldn't get a sound out," said drummer Jules De Martino.
"She had to ask the audience what to do and they shouted back: 'Turn the amp on'."
