The Second Anniversary Show w/ Kate Pierson of The B-52s
This week, I am honored to celebrate the second anniversary of Revolutions Per Movie with one of my top musical heroes: the one and only Kate Pierson of The B-52s!!!
We discuss the influence of Fellini on Kate & The B-52s (who were originally going to call themselves 'Fellini's Children'), the early sounds and films that made a young Kate Pierson into who she is, film noir, the protest folk music of her first band 'The Sun Donuts', what drew Kate to Athens, GA; Kate finding her unique singing style, French New Wave films, how The B-52s were not allowed to play bars in Athens and instead opted for house parties, the early jobs of the band members, how Club 57 and The Mudd Club in NYC embraced the band, how much a wig cost back in 1978, how the band worked out the vocal phrasing and melody parts of the three vocalists, Jeremy Ayers being a pied piper of the Athens scene, The Plastics, the original house that The B-52s bought and lived in together, why there were no early B-52s music videos until Whammy, Kate's first music equipment and her amazing guitar parts, how different it is making music videos now vs. in the 80s and so much more.
So let's dance this mess around on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
