Confirms my impression that the Pipettes are actually an extremely cerebral outfit. From April 2007.

We're probably more influenced by Bananarama, because they're obviously a British band, but The Sharades are probably the closest '60s girl group—they were a couple of session singers of Joe Meek's that sang a few songs. I'd say we're closer, certainly in sentiment and vocal delivery, to those girls than we are to the slightly more professional '60s girl groups. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.avclub.com/content/interview/the_pipettes"><P><B>AVC: What other music are you guys into?</B></p> <P><B>G:</B> It varies so much. I'm really into Welsh '70s folk music and contemporary Welsh pop music; Rose is very much into her English singer-songwriters, people like Sandy Denny; and then Becki's really into her riot-grrrl music, Kathleen Hanna in particular.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C91E406C-7845-425D-8863-CD92EE093910/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
