This page is a tribute to the Doopees. Not much information out there on the Doopees, but if you can send any pics or music or info..., I would be happy to post. Any suggestions? Yann Tomita is the artist behind this whole thing, so any info on him may be relevant.
(below is a copy/paste from a web site):
Here are some clips of what i've been able to find elsewhere on the web about Yann Tomita and the Doopees.
from WFMU:
"Here's a strange and wonderful record called Doopee Time. Trying to describe this record (or Tomita) is difficult - part muzak, part dada comedy, part I Dream of Jeannie, with a running commentary by The Doopees, two Japanese doll women named Suzie and Caroline. There's a few other tracks from a Yann Tomita mini album as well. Enjoy."
music review from web:
"What'll you'll find on "Doopee Time" are tracks ranging from the straight forward (The Beach Boys' cover "Caroline No", "Air Vibes") to experimental sampling numbers ("Medical Service", "Doopee Time"). The first half of the album is purely experimental; tons of blips, samples and beats. Whereas the other half of the album is filled with lush orchestrations and soft narratives. In a sense, this album is almost beyond description. There's something so wonderful and enchanting about this album. It succeeds in capturing the essence of a capricious oddity. It's cute, quirky, whimsical, and addciting. This album is recommend to fans of Chappie, Cornelius, and Tipsy. (A)"
"Yann Tomita, enigmatic wielder of steel pan and transistor radio produces mysterious band "Doopees" led by the equally mysterious "Caroline Novac". Its CUTE!!!! :) This is not an "idol pop" cuteness, however, this is pure unadulterated, unfiltered CUTENESS extract, just add water"
