Tingle In The Netherlands is an electro-pop collaboration between vocalist Helên Thomas and electronic musician Owen J based in Manchester UK.

Musically, others have described our sound as being reminiscent of bands such as Kraftwerk, Ladytron, Chris & Cosey, Severed Heads, Soft Cell, Human League and Vince Clarke. While Owen creates the majority of the music Helên provides most, but not all, lyrics as well as contributing vocal melodies.

Our eclectic sound has led to us being played at numerous events and clubs including Analogue Trash at Legends, Manchester; Bed Supperclub Bangkok; The Whitby Goth Weekend and numerous clubs in London, Berlin and Tokyo. We have been played on the radio in the US and Argentina; Dandelion Radio UK; RKC Radio online; local radio in Essex and Manchester and have been asked to create a mix for The Garden of Earthly Delights on CRMK Radio.

Our first EP, ‘Prostitute's Handbag’ was released in 2010 and included a remix, by Atomizer, of the title track. ‘Prostitute's Handbag’ reached number 11 in the Dandelion Radio Festive Fifty 2010, receiving votes for the original version and the Atomizer remix. In February 2013 our debut album ‘Why Can’t You Write Something Nice For A Change?’ was released on the Nerve Echo label, and is available to buy from Bandcamp, Nerve Echo and iTunes.

In January 2020 we released the track 'Gwyneth Paltrow's Cunt' available on Bandcamp.

A year later, in January 2021, we released 'Everything's Gone To Shit', our lockdown anthem, also available from our bandcamp page.

Although we have performed at Ste McCabe’s Pussywhipped event in Manchester, we consider ourselves to be a studio band so currently have no plans to perform live.
