The Piperita Patties formed in 2007.
The name of the band recalls the italian name of the Peanuts’ legendary heroine Peppermint Patty, the red-haired, freckled, lazy & cheeky brat in love with Charlie Brown.
All the girls have previous experiences in other bands:
Valeria, in particular, has been for long a shining star of the European punk rock scene, being the leader of The Waukees. She currently plays drums in two bands, The Piperita Patties and The Alfredo Garcia (and his Bikini Voodoo Drums).
Louie and Marilu met at a Waukees’ concert and decided to start a girl band. Louie is a former violinist turned guitarist, while Marilu is a former wannabe guitarist (she says guitar is too hard for her to learn) turned bassist for good.
The Piperita Patties’ music is bubblecore pop’n’roll with a powerpop twist. The three girls alternate at singing and they sometimes sing “all together now†in a sassy cheerleader style.
The Piperita Patties also have a “mascotteâ€, Louie’s little sister Vitto. She’s eleven and she often performs on stage with the Piperitas, singing, dancing, playing an inflatable micro-guitar and throwing toys and candies to the audience.
