The Ting Tings sign with Jay-Z



Just because the CEO of the ROC was dissed by MGMT doesn’t mean that he’s given up on indie-rock. In fact he may be trying to take it over as it was recently announced that Jay-Z signed dance-rockers The Ting Tings to his Roc Nation label.

It’s also been reported that the greatest rapper of all time may even produce the band’s second album (via Consequence of Sound). London’s Daily Star got a quote from an anonymous source that said, ““The staccato rhythmic style of The Ting Tings sits well with what he does best so that was the attraction. Jay can make them one of the biggest bands across the pond.”

And I thought that Hova was down with Grizzly Bear? Oh well.
