Zune.net | The Pierces - Artist Profile Page

Born and raised in Alabama but currently residing in New York, Allison and Catherine Pierce are the harmonizing sisters behind the duo The Pierces. Homeschooled by their painter mother and guitar-wielding father, the two girls were encouraged in the arts from a young age, and quickly learned to play guitar and harmonize.

In 2000 they released their full-length, self-titled debut album. After a couple of years of struggling with their first record label, the sisters decided it was time for a change. They ended the relationship and moved to New York City where they performed acoustically at clubs and residences around town.

The Pierces released their second album, Light of the Moon, in 2004 under a new label. Produced by Brian Sperber, the record is filled with radio-friendly melodies with touches of folk and country. The duo recently returned from Europe after opening for Albert Hammond, Jr., band member of The Strokes, on a tour for his solo project.

Their upcoming album, Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge, released by Lizard King Records is scheduled to hit stores on March 20, 2007.
