To support the release of their upcoming single The Pipettes are taking to the road and doing a UK nationwide tour.
In their first incarnation, donning polka dot dresses and referencing the girl groups of the late fifties in the heyday of skinny tie indie music, The Pipettes had remarkable success.
They scored a top ten album in Japan where the single 'Pull Shapes' was only kept off the number one spot by J-Lo. They also had top ten radio positions all across Europe, two Top Forty hits in the UK and a Top Ten in the US billboard indies.
The Pipettes wowed audiences on the main stages at Reading and Glastonbury, blazed a British trail across SXSW, conquered the world and sold a heap of records.
Single 'Stop The Music' is released 19th April. The duo's second album 'Earth vs The Pipettes' is out on 28th June on Fortuna POP!
They will be playing Liverpool's O2 Academy on 8th May.
