I’m not ashamed to tell you that I’m absolutely, head over heels in love with The Pipettes. I’ve had them playing constantly on my computer, to the point where it’s starting to interfere with my album reviews that I’m supposed to be writing. I feel that I should tell you this so that you’ll be prepared when their CD inexplicably makes my end-of-year top 20 list that, as a “rock critic,” I’m obligated by federal law to create and post. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
At any rate, as their debut album, We Are The Pipettes, was not released in the US and isn’t going to be, the chances of them touring stateside are minimal at best. Which is why I was really excited when I discovered that fabchannel.com has made available the video of a complete Pipettes show that they played in Amsterdam earlier this year.
The audio isn’t perfect — the balance between the vocal mics is especially off — but as it’s the closest I’m going to be able to come to seeing them live for a very long time, I’m really happy anyway. Seriously. Don’t interrupt me. I’m gonna go watch them play “Pull Shapes” again.
