'40s-inspired girl group The Puppini Sisters (Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O'Brien, and Kate Mullins) were originally inspired by the trio featured in the Quebecois animated film The Triplets of Belleville(Belleville composer Benoit Charest produces here), and take their tight harmonies from 1930s and 1940s swing-era bands such as the Andrews Sisters. Their debut Betcha Bottom Dollar is a blend of retro faves such as In the Mood, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Mr. Sandman, Sway, Tu Vuo Fa L'Americano and Bei Mir Bist Du Shon with '40s makeovers of new classics like Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, Blondie's Heart of Glass and Gloria Gaynor's disco manifesto I Will Survive.
The songs range from the playful, drip-brew slow Java Jive to a Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy on speed. The remakes of newer songs sound seamless and fresh, and fit in with the big band style on the rest of the CD.
This may sound like a gimmick, but the girls are amply qualified: Marcella plays piano and accordion, Stephanie plays jazz fiddle, and the group's stunningly chic '40s fashions are the result of Marcella's career at Vivienne Westwood's design studio (Westwood's fashions are featured in the new video for Jilted from the Puppini Sisters' sophomore album The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo). Their harmonies sound absolutely stunning together, and the three are great performers live, adding the little synchronized flourishes that the Andrews Sisters and other bands used on stage.
Fans of big band and 1940s female vocalists such as Peggy Lee, Doris Day, and the Andrews Sisters will feel right at home with the Puppini Sisters. Their debut album features more vintage material than their recent sophomore release The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo, which is recent material such as Beyonce's Crazy in Love and Spooky along with original compositions by the girls.
