Borders in Brighton is probably a great place for the new acapella band The Puppini Sisters to perform. In Brighton, known for being capital of all things cool and a little bit out of the ordinary, these girls will swing out the joint.
The Puppini Sisters are a trio of the Italian Marcella Puppini and English Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins. The group was founded by Marcella after she was inspired by the animated film Belleville Rendez-vous. The Puppini Sisters' debut single, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", is a cover of the iconic hit single by The Andrews Sisters, and, although the three are not actually related, they name themselves so in tribute to The Andrews Sisters.
One of the more unusual songs in their repertoire is Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights", sung in the style of the Andrews Sisters. Marcella, Stephanie and Kate studied music at Trinity College of Music in London.
The Puppini Sisters are currently supported by a three-piece band featuring Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henry Tyler on drums/percussion and upright bassist Nick Pini.
They go down a storm and thank everyone for coming. They are just fresh from a night's performance with iconic burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese: with fans like her they can't go wrong.
