The Pierces Band Music

Based in New York, the Pierces are a music band, whose principal members are two sisters, Catherine Pierce and Allison Pierce who originally hail from Birmingham, Alabama. While they were in school, Allison often bit boys on their arms that left behind moon shaped marks and Catherine raised her body temperature at her own will and had to be sent home daily for the high fever. Consequently they had to be removed from their school. However, their education continued at home where they were taught by their painter mother and guitar-wielding father.

Both The Pierces founder grew up listening Joni Mitchell and Simon&Garfunkel and was always inspired to nurture their creativity. Both the sisters were trained ballerinas and would perform at parties and weddings. At the age of 16, Allison was kidnapped by a gypsy dancing troupe that took her across the country and soon Allison began to love her new life as a dancing gypsy. Catherine set upon herself the mission of finding out her sister. She started taking lessons in Russian and French ballet and was soon able to find out where Allison in Mississippi.

The Pierces, two sisters escaped and took three days to come back to Alabama. Music remained their first love and Allison took up the guitar for honing up her skills further. The voices of the two sisters became almost identical and soon took to the stage for performing. Smooth talkers soon managed to convince them of assured name and fame and both the sisters sold their souls to the devil.

The Pierces band founder that is both the sisters then realized their mistake and took a strong stance of no longer serving the devil. The devil released them but vowed never to give them back their souls. New York then became the destination for the depressed sisters. There they met an ex-pirate who had turned into a music producer and it was he who made them realise how they wanted their music to sound like. The sisters wanted to sound like a gypsy dream that one has after consuming too much of red wine while listening to a cabaret singer.

Their debut music album, The Pierces (2000) took shape after a friend of theirs at Auburn University sent their tape to a record company at Nashville. The album, however failed to make a name mainly due to no support from any label. Their second album, Light of the Moon was released in August, by Universal. In March 2007, their third album Thirteen Tales of Love was released in the US. The album was well received by music lovers as well as critics and the song boring needs special mention. The album shows a deviation from the usual music of the band that has been essentially a folk rock band. However, it still retains the captivating lyrics and melodies typical of the band.

Over the years, The Pierces sisters have often been compared with popular artists like The Roches, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, the Indigo Girls and Sheryl Crow. Wikipedia
