Description:

The Pipettes: Riotbecki, Rosay, Gwenno.
Additional personnel: Monster Bobby (guitars); Seb (keyboards); Jon (bass guitar); Robin (drums); the Cassette.
Taking the prefabricated elements of the 1960s girl-group concept to their post-modern extreme, Brighton, England`s Pipettes revel in the choreographed bubblegum-and-bouffant chic of groups like the Ronettes and the Shangri-Las, but also maintain an electro-pop sheen that places them squarely in the new millennium. The group`s 2006 debut, WE ARE THE PIPETTES, could easily be called a gimmick if not for the group`s mastery of what is ultimately the key element of the girl-group aesthetic--gloriously catchy pop tunes. While songs like "Pull Shapes" and "Judy" lack the palpable emotionalism of the best of the original groups, they possess a nostalgic twinkle and a cheeky attitude that are almost impossible to dismiss.
