She's Pippi (シーズピッピ) is a Kyoto-based pop band, fueled by the female duo of guitarist Hikari, and singer/pianist "Pippi". The duo began in 1998, and would occasionally play live shows as a duo. In 2000, the duo added a drummer and bassist, and in 2003 released their previous CD-R only release on Ummo Records.
The band is somewhat inspired by the Francophile stylings of Kahimi Karie, and their sometimes crazy, nonsequitar breaks, at times reminded me of a milder version of Deerhoof. But the bad is still at heart a pop beast, with only the trimmings of a funk, Francophile, noise pop band.
