A New Pipette
The Pipettes have posted a new video blog on their official website introducing the newest member of the group, Beth.
Last year, Rosay (Rose Elinor Dougall) and RiotBecki (Rebecca Stephens) left the group to pursue other musical projects and were replaced by Anna McDonald and Ani Saunders, Gwenno’s younger sister. After a few months in the new lineup, Anna announced her plans to leave and focus on songwriting.
The ladies have been working on their second record, which is to be released this year. Catch Gwenno, Ani, and Beth at Wonky Pop Night at The O2 in London on March 20th.
(my favorite lineup)
Due to lame 21+ venues, I got jipped when it came to seeing The Pipettes live in Chicago twice before the lineup change. I fell in love with them a few years back. It was easygoing retro sounding girl pop with attitude, how could a person resist? Their songs are catchy and their debut album, We Are The Pipettes, is a fun listen from start to finish. The type of album you blast as you try to clean the house, but end up just dancing around instead. Good times.
