The Pipettes @ Lee's Palace, Toronto (18-11-07)

I finally got the chance to check out The Pipettes at Lee's Palace in Toronto last night. I should probably start off by telling you that I've been obsessed with this group for a while now, so the chances of me not liking their show were slim to none. However, I was still slightly nervous about how it would all turn out. Maybe it was because I was dragging my friends with me, the majority of whom have never heard The Pipettes before. I mean, I've seen a lot of live clips of their shows and have quite a few mp3's of their concerts but you just don't know until you experience it for yourself right (Smashing Pumpkins, anyone?)

Anyways, none of this matters because The Pipettes were fantastic. The Cassettes sounded great and the girls sang and danced their way through a short but sweet set. The Pipettes have been touring this album for a while now and have played so many shows that I'm sure I don't really have any new information to enlighten you with. Well, before they played 'Pull Shapes' the girls taught the crowd some dance moves but I refrained from doing it myself cause if I did I probably would have pulled some muscles instead. Is that introduction new? No. Ok.

I can't remember the exact set list but I know that they started with the new track 'Catch and Boogie' and went straight into 'Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me.' Everything after that is pretty much a blur but they did manage to play the majority of their debut album and some 'new' songs they have been playing live for a while now.

But I gotta tell you, I think the Toronto audience was pretty awesome. I know I'm biased but the crowd was very receptive in my opinion. They danced and clapped along to the songs and seemed to really appreciate what The Pipettes are doing. This in turn created a great atmosphere and is probably what made the show so great, except for The Pipettes, of course.

I don't know if The Pipettes are coming this way anytime in the near future (I would say it's highly unlikely), but if you ever get the chance you need to go see them.

FYI: I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.
