The Minettes

We are The Minettes, and it's nice that we've met!

About Me

Originally we've played in a firstwannaberockpopgaragethencover band together, but since Giulia discovered The Pipettes, we had the idea to start a project beside our band, concentrating ourselves on 60s-Pop. Looking at the fact that we love the 60s, The Pipettes gave us inspiration to try something new. So we founded The Minettes. Now some things have changed, Giulia is living in Stockholm, while Jules is still stuck in Aachen, haha. But there's no big problem, we have enough holidays to fly over to Germany or Sweden to record some songs ;) Don't be angry if we denigrate The Pipettes in your opinion, we don't mean to, and we just do it for fun. ;)Minette - fashion puppet/victim (french)
