Trippple Nippples deal in terminally infectious party music, electropop infused with punk attitude and new-wave frivolity. They also do a nice line in chaos.
"The moment when someone who has been watching us with their jaw on the floor goes nuts and starts dancing is the most fun," says Qrea Nippple. "Sometimes we've been invited to play at some posh place by some kind of mistake and that's when I want to mess with people the most."
Qrea and Yuka Nippple sing, dance, flail about in cream and explode things at their audience while Australians Joseph Lamont and James Masheder hold up the musical end of the act on keyboard, synthesizer and laptop. As support members, Brazilian Gui Martinez and American Elliot Hasiuk alternate on drums at their live performances. Since their formation in 2005, the group has cooked up all manner of mischief including smashing hollow eggs filled with flour on audience members, setting a photographer's hair on fire with an errant firework, and exploring the wearability of various foodstuffs.
