Polka-dot Princesses The Pipettes are RiotBecki,
Rosay, and Gwenno, accompanied by their backing band The Cassette, announce the release of their eagerly awaited North American
full-length debut We Are The Pipettes, out October 2nd on
Cherrytree/Interscope. For the North American release, the band tapped
the talents of producer Greg Wells (Mika, Rufus Wainwright) to mix the
entire album as well as record two new tracks exclusive to this release œDance and Boogie and Baby, Just Be Yourself.With a clever nod
to the spotless pop of Phil Spector and The Supremes, these
Brighton bred Pipettes have created a witty and smart 16-track album
that fuses girl-pop reminiscent of the Shangri-Las with the fierce and
focused musical prowess that is 100% their own.
THE PIPETTES fronted by a trio of dancing, polka-dotted young
British babes prove that sugary pop about good girls and bad boys has
no expiration date. Blender
We Are The Pipettes features The Pipettes smash hits Pull Shapes, Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me, and œDirty Mind, and is the follow up
to their EP Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me (Cherrytree/Interscope)“
released June 5th 2007. The EP came on the heels of a string of highly
successful shows with the likes of Sleater Kinney, Maximo Park, and
early this year, Amy Winehouse, as well as numerous head-turning
performances at SXSW where they warmed the hearts of music fans all
over. Garnering praise from The Guardian (UK), Rolling Stone, Blender,
and SPIN among others, the EP also produced a hit in the US with œYour
Kisses Are Wasted on Me, which reached 5 on the Billboard Hot 100
Single Sales Chart.
