Pipettes Sign to Interscope/Cherrytree in U.S.
Debut headed Stateside this summer

They're the Pipettes, and we hope they have no regrets, because the winsome, cheery 60s-pop-revival trio (and their mysterious backing band, the Cassettes) have signed a U.S. record deal with Interscope subsidiary Cherrytree, according to Billboard.com.

Becki, Gwenno, and Rosay crash an F's-only party at Cherrytree-- also home to Feist, the Feeling, the Fratellis, and Flipsyde. Their much-adored debut, We Are the Pipettes-- originally released in the UK via Memphis Industries last year-- should hit U.S. shelves at last this summer. UPDATE: ACCORDING TO THE LABEL, A JUNE RELEASE DATE IS TARGETED, AND THEY HOPE TO INCLUDE EXTRA TRACKS ON THE U.S. VERSION OF THE ALBUM.

As previously reported, the Pipettes are primed to pry their way into our hearts next month, playing to a select few North American cities-- including the Pitchfork/Windish Agency day party at SXSW, where they'll work their magic alongside Peter Bjorn and John, Girl Talk, Deerhunter, Crystal Castles, Rjd2, Menomena, the Ponys, Do Make Say Think, Simian Mobile Disco, Fujiya + Miyagi, Beach House, and Marnie Stern.

UPDATE: A LOS ANGELES SHOW IS IN THE WORKS FOR AFTER SXSW.
