The Pipettes Get Released Stateside; Plan North American Tour

Submitted by B_Werner

Edited by Rahodeb



It's already easy to hold a place in your heart for the sound of classic girl groups, however the existence of Brighton's Pipettes makes it even easier. The group's 2006 album We Are The Pipettes reminded listeners that even though Phil Spector is an alleged murderer the influence of the groups he produced still thrives in the twenty-first century.

The American popularity of the group on the strength of import-only releases has resulted in a U.S. issue of the ladies' debut EP, Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me, scheduled to appear in stores on June 5. Yanks can also put off spending a hefty import price for the aforementioned album; an American version will follow the release of the EP on August 28. Both releases will be handled by Interscope imprint Cherrytree Records.

Finally, if you were one of the lucky people to catch The Pipettes at SXSW this year, you can relive the experience in June; the group will be playing select dates In North America.

I'd advise anybody who likes indie-pop to go and see them but then I would say that.

I love them and can't stop listening to their album. Some of my friends also went to see them recently and said they were great live.

Uh, right. Obviously, you've never heard The Ronettes, The Crystals, The Shangri-las, The Angels, The Shirelles, The Supremes or The Chiffons...not to mention The Go-Go's, The Slits, The Raincoats, The Bangles...should I continue?

seen them twice, the first time was great the second time not so as it was the exact same set. I wouldn't have minded that much but it was supposed to be a Christmas show and wasn't all all Christmasy.

The album though is the perfect thing to listen to during the summer biggrin

I saw them in Stoke a while back - they were great, looking forward to seeing them at Reading Festival this summer. Seriously, if they're in your city - go see! love
