Kate Pierson -- iconic voice and founding member of the B52s, punk, new wave, genre-defying band will release her debut solo record Guitars and Microphones, today, February 17 via Lazy Meadow Music/Kobalt Label Services. Revered for her anthemic pop chops, Kate's songs are rife with girl group wit, drama -- rejecting stereotypes and preconceived ideas at every turn.
Kate previously shared a taste of Guitars and Microphones with "Mister Sister" a poetic love letter of the power of transformation, for which a portion of proceeds will go to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. Today, she reveals the lush "Bring Your Arms," an immediately infectious synth-pop jam with a move to the groove environmental theme. Co-written by Sia and Chris Braide, the song was inspired when Kate and Sia witnessed sea turtle egg rescue while on a trip to Tulum in Mexico. Environmental activists themselves, they found it moving and thus Sia hatched the song for Kate."Bring Your Arms" is available as an instant-grat MP3 w/ Guitars and Microphones iTunes pre-order now! CD digipak is also available for pre-order at Amazon. A portion of the proceeds for "Bring Your Arms" will be donated to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. "Bring Your Arms" premiered with SPIN.
