Pull shapes with The Pipettes!

I am not sure exactly what “pull shapes” means, but I think it has to do with dancing like a fool. You’ve likely bopped along with their latest single (“Pull Shapes”), and maybe even check the radio to see if you ended up on the oldies station. Like the sunny side of Amy Winehouse, these girls also look to the breezy girl group sound of the ‘60s for inspiration.

Actually, The Pipettes consist of more than just the three women you’ve seen posing in polka dot dresses. In total there are seven band members, the reaming four being men who are collectively referred to as “The Cassettes.” The boys usually wear yellow tank tops with their initials sewn onto them, adding to the retro aesthetic.
Thanks to a number of successful SXSW appearances, England’s Pipettes got a record deal with Cherrytree Records, a division of Interscope Records. Cherrytree will release The Pipettes’ debut record October 2nd.
