I'm not quite sure HOW exactly I missed this one. Having been OBSESSED with close harmony vocal trio The Puppini Sisters since the release of sensational 2006 debut album, Betcha Bottom Dollar, I've been secretly hoping the band would either get one of their vintage vocal pop numbers remixed for the clubs or veer off into some sort of dance-oriented side project. Unbeknownst to me,
Spin Up Girls: The Puppini Sisters offer a little Tinsel Town for this year's tree, but does anyone really need another album of standards? Shrewdly retro-chic, just slightly kitsch and possessors of enough talent (you try singing those close harmonies without an Auto-tune in sight) to make it work over the long haul, the Puppini Sisters -- Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins -- are to pop music what Dita Von Teese is to the adult entertainment industry. Four albums into an unlikely career that's seen these wanna-be '40s dames accumulate a fan base which includes Prince Charles,...

Are you a fan of the close three-part harmonies most typically associated with performers like the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters ? Well, you're in for a treat. Take a look at this Wikipedia entry on "voicing" to read about open and closed harmony, as well as a discussion of the difference here . Suffice to say, closed harmony can sound very tight and intense. You'll find it with barbershop quartets, the Beach Boys or The Blind Boys of Alabama. The Andrews Sisters – Patty, LaVerne and Maxene – [...]

Back in May I reported that retro pop/jazz trio The Puppini Sisters were NEARLY done with their third album (fourth, if you count 2010's Holiday album Christmas with the Puppini Sisters ). Well...five months later we have a release date, and not one for France...one for the USA! The theme of the new album? Why old Hollywood, of course! How glamorous and absolutely perfect for the Puppinis! Here's the scoopage... The album, entitled [...]

The Puppini Sisters are amazing. Ever since they emerged swingin' and singin' " Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (from Company B) " in 2006 I've been involved in a lengthy love affair with these three beauties. The Puppini Sisters are Marcella Puppini , Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins (not sisters) and they have perfectly mastered that distinct 1940s sounds, popularized by such groups as The Andrews Sisters , for whom their name was derived. The girls released their debut album, [...]

I was staying with my aunt and uncle while I visited Washington, DC for a few days last weekend. One night, my uncle and I were sitting on the couch watching some March Madness. It was a competitive, back-and-forth close game, but I couldn't focus. There were something else on my mind. "Uncle Dave," I asked, "is it really true that you like Abba?"

Apparently, there has been an avalanche of new holiday music this year. This post is my attempt to round up all the free nice tunes, but there's so much I have to split it up in 2 parts. Hopefully, these music selections might soundtrack your holiday break well, or least, make it more bearable. For [...]
When we heard the Puppini Sisters' versions of "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night" a few years back, we thought the London threesome would be a perfect fit for a full-length's worth of holiday tunes. We were right. Christmas With The Puppini Sisters (Verve) features 10 tracks, ranging from standards like "Santa Baby," "Let It Snow" [...]

Like This and Like That is the new column from Snobcast extraordinaire, Father Guido Sarducci IV. The procedure: Every morning (OK, maybe not every morning) Guido will snatch the first crisp, clean & new mp3 he stumbles upon, listen to it at least once, and then find an old song (ten years or more) for some good old-fashioned compare and contrast. The purpose: To draw a line between the modern and the out-of-date. The premise: To expose the kids to their past while also showing the unfashionable adults that there's great new music being made every day. [...]
