The Pipettes are a British Indie Pop Girl Group based in Brighton . Their sound has been compared to the classic 1960s girl groups such as The Shangri-Las and The Ronettes . OVERVIEW The promoter, performer and guitarist dresses and synchronised choreography is a major part of their live shows, whereas The Cassettes can be seeing wearing yellow tank tops with their initials sewn onto them. After early line-ups included members of the Electric Soft Parade , the current seven piece line-up settled in mid-2004. In April 2005 founder member Julia left to concentrate on her own project The Indelicates and was replaced by fan turned member and former Welsh language electropop solo artist Gwenno. Three extremely limited edition vinyl releases were released in 2005, leading to the group being signed to Memphis Industries shortly after touring with the same label's The Go! Team as well as the likes of The Magic Numbers and British Sea Power . Debut album " We Are The Pipettes " was released in the United Kingdom on July 17 , 2006 and reached #41. The band have signed a US deal with Cherrytree Records , part of Interscope Records , and after a series of well received performances at the South By Southwest festival, an EP led by the track "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" was released on June 5 , reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. The album is to be released in North America on October 2 , and Japan on October 17 , with both releases containing new bonus tracks. MEMBERS
