It's been a tough few months for everyone involved and we got this from Sandrine in the post the other day and it really did make our day. Thank you to everyone who's been supportive, and to Sandrine in particular for the picture!

The Pipettes have
two new members, Ani and Anna. We are demoing up 20-25 new songs, with
an eye to recording a second album in the Summer. We want to tell you
all about them, but we’re very much head-down working on new material
at the moment.
This means that RiotBecki and Rosay have left to pursue other musical
pursuits (which will be brilliant when they emerge), we wish them all
the best, we’re all still great friends and news on their pursuits
will be closely supported by us.
People may be confused by such a drastic change in line-up but please
rest assured - if we were to be an imitation of ourselves we would stop.
Plus the Pipettes has more members come and go than major labels have
A&R men, it's just another day in the office for us (plus we’ve
got to go one better than the Sugababes).
We refer you to the manifesto
on www.thepipettes.com for a more in depth explanation on the functioning
of the band; this was the natural step to take. For a more in depth
series of answers, we direct you to the prepared video here.
Thanks for all the continued support over this period and we’re
incredibly excited to be working toward bringing you a new album that
will be unlike anything we (or anyone else) have ever done. We will
also have limited edition novelty tee-shirts on sale soon, keep an eye
out for them and join the growing thousands who can now claim to be
‘ex-Pipettes.’
love,
The Pipettes
