18: The Pipettes - Rose Elinor Dougall on a 50s/60s concept, manufacturing pop, and breaking away as a solo artist

Rose Elinor Dougall was one of the founding members of The Pipettes and she tells The Boys in the Band Podcast about the 50s/60s-inspired concept the group came up with before they'd even written a song... And why their sound and style was a reaction to the male-dominated 00s guitar scene. 

After touring the first album around the world Rose then went solo. From performing at huge shows with Mark Ronson to crafting a different sound of her own, she explains the highs and lows of going alone. Plus she shares details of her fourth album she is working on right now...
