Where is that Pipettes live appearance video?

June 24, 2009 8:39 AM

Help me find Video of English girl group trio The Pipettes playing with only a (very raspy) keyboard in a live appearance? It must be a record store but I have this memory of it being a library. Song was probably We are the Pipettes. Sound quality is quite good & camera is steady.

I've searched for over an hour and found plenty of camera phone video of concerts backed by their band and a few record store and radio station videos backed by acoustic guitar. This video was neat because of the contrast between smooth vocal harmony and that raspy "Planet Claire" keyboard. It's also a nice example of a completely dry (no reverb on keys or vox) sound that still sounds full & rich.

Nope, but thanks. In the video I'm thinking of, it's just the three of them, without the backup band. Only accompaniment is one of the singers playing keys.

Also video & audio quality were much better. Possibly handheld, but by someone with steady hands or a heavier camera.

This one? Not great video, but the audio seems clear enough. Ah, The Pipettes.
