Girl group to play NYC, Toronto, SXSW

No longer will their kisses be wasted on Europe, as the fabulous ladies of the Pipettes have revealed their first-ever North American tour dates.

On March 10, Becki, Rose, Gwenno, and their backing boys will hit Toronto's Rivoli as part of Canadian Music Week, and on March 13 they'll play New York City's Bowery Ballroom. (Unfortunately, Amy Winehouse is also on the latter bill.)

Then it's off to Texas for the polka-dotted crew, where they'll charm the ironic t-shirts right off of the music industry bigwigs gathered at SXSW. The exact shows they'll be playing at SXSW haven't been announced yet, but we're sure they'll be very, very special.

Right now, the Pipettes only have one other performance scheduled, and that's on February 24 at the MX Beat 2007 festival in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Still no word on a North American release for the group's fabulous debut album We Are the Pipettes. But to tide you over, head to the Memphis Industries MySpace page to hear a remix of the Pipettes' "Judy" by labelmates Blue States.
