The Pierces are anything BUT boring



Alabama-born-neo-New Yorkers The Pierces (sisters Catherine and Allison) launched their new album by supporting Albert Hammond, Jr., whose solo excursion from The Strokes is getting great reaction in the UK with their sold-out tour.

The Pierces new album “Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge” was produced by Roger Grenawalt (Ben Kweller, Adam Green) and will be released in February/March (I'm not sure of the official release date). The Pierces used their network of friends in New York to assemble a live band for the UK tour. Lending their talents for this short tour were Russell Simins of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Shannon Ferguson of Longwave, Sammy James Jr. of Mooney Suzuki and Ben Bromley of Fischerspooner.

“The Pierces are perfectly in keeping with the Bright Eyes-led folking up of New York...
Disturbingly attractive sisters, Catherine and Allison are genuinely talented.” - NME

These girls are at first glance, just pretty singers, but when you listen to their music you find out how intelligent, bold and witty these girls are...

I just recently had their song "Boring" featured in a runway show for fashion week! Everyone who hears it, loves it and I know you will too... esp with the music video they did for it!
