The Puppini Sisters are an English close harmony vocal trio composed of Italian-born singer Marcella Puppini and English singers Kate Mullins and Emma Smith. Although the three are not related, the name was chosen in tribute to The Andrews Sisters. Puppini first studied fashion design at Saint Martins School of Art, and later music at Trinity College of Music in London where she met Mullins and original member Rosanna Schura, who was later replaced by Stephanie O'Brien. After eight years with the group, O'Brien was replaced by Emma Smith. The trio are backed by a three-piece band featuring Blake Wilner on guitar, Henrik Jensen on double bass and Peter Ibbetson on drums. Critic Arion Berger described them as part of "Retro's futuristic vanguard" and characterised their sound as "swing-punk". The group is associated with a burlesque revival. ==Career== The group was founded in 2004 by Marcella Puppini after she was inspired by the animated film ''Les Triplettes de Belleville'' (2003). In 2005 they were signed by UCJ (Universal Classics and Jazz). The Puppini Sisters' debut single, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", was a cover of the hit single by The Andrews Sisters. The Puppini Sisters' second album, ''The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo'' includes original compositions by Puppini, Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins. The Puppini Sisters television appearances include ''This Morning'', ''Loose Women'', ''The Alan Titchmarsh Show'', ''Big Brother's Little Brother'', ''Hell's Kitchen'', CBeebies' ''Space Pirates'', ''The View'' (on ABC), and 2011's ''A Michael Bublé Christmas'' on NBC. The group also appeared in the 2009 Jonathan Creek New Year's special "The Grinning Man", performing their 2007 single "Spooky". The trio was also featured on the soundtracks for the US TV series ''Greys Anatomy'' and ''Chuck''. The group performed at Glastonbury Festival 2009 on 27 June as well as performing at Goodwood Vintage Festival on 15 August. In 27 June 2012, O'Brien announced via the group's Facebook page that she was leaving the group. It was later revealed that Terrianne Passingham would replace O'Brien.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Puppini Sisters )〕 However, Passingham also left the group and shortly thereafter Emma Smith took her place.
