Although the three are not related, the name was chosen in tribute to [[~~The~~the Andrews Sisters]]. They are known for providing guest vocals on [[Michael Bublé]]'s cover of "[[Jingle Bells#Recordings and performances\|Jingle Bells]]". 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 Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henrik Jensen on double bass and Peter Ibbetson on drums. The group is associated with a [[American burlesque\|burlesque]] revival.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.readexpress.com/read_freeride/2008/06/sister_act_marcella_puppini.php \|archive-url=https://archive.today/20081207030413/http://www.readexpress.com/read_freeride/2008/06/sister_act_marcella_puppini.php \|url-status=dead \|archive-date=7 December 2008 \|title=Swinging Sister: Marcella Puppini Express Magazine 12 June 2008 \|publisher=Readexpress.com \|date=12 June 2008 \|accessdate=2 January 2011 }}</ref> ==Career== The group was founded in 2004 by Marcella Puppini after she was inspired by the animated film ''[[The Triplets of Belleville]] (Les Triplettes de Belleville)'' (2003).
