Face Of Cheam

The Pipettes are back, this time as a duo. Gwenno the only female pipette left from the debut album has got her sister Ani along for a more eighties keyboard sound. Still fine pop tunes with the prime example being Stop The Music, the headline track from their EP released in support of this tour. Both of them were having drinks in the Druids Head prior to this club show where I watched the Fulham european match beforehand. Gwenno was in tight leather trousers then so must have changed at the club. The Hippodrome was a bit of a nostalgia place for me. Previously The Works and then Volts, it was where I spent much of my teenage clubbing days> I hadn't been there for at least ten years however and somehow it seemed smaller. One plus was for this indie student night draft Becks remained £1.70 a pint all night. The Pipettes played five 'old' songs in their hour long set which were Judy, Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me, Dirty Mind, Because Its Not Love and the set ender Pull Shapes. As well as the tracks from the EP there were several other songs from a forthcoming album including a great tune calling for you to shake twist and stomp, surely a single. click here to see a video of stop the music from the show. I come into view in the bottom right hand corner around two minutes 15 in! There are also a couple of links for Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me and Spaceman from the same night (called new slang)
