The Pipettes Invade North America Tonight

They Are the Pipettes, they're the prettiest girls you've ever met, and they're finally providing the North American continent with a full-blown tour. The trek is in support of the June 5 release of the Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me EP on Interscope/CherryTree, which precedes the August 28 release of their album in these parts.

A few in-store appearances are peppered throughout the schedule, at which the Pipettes will perform acoustic sets. As previously reported, Pipettes songwriter/band member Monster Bobby and preteen titans Smoosh provide support on the tour.

Riot Becki, Gwenno, and Rosay waste kisses on Toronto tonight (June 1), and the U.S./Canadian love will continue until mid-June, when they hop back over to the UK and Europe for more festival dates than their dresses have polka dots.
