THE PIERCES

THIRTEEN TALES OF LOVE & REVENGE

LIZARD KING (03/20/07)

Two Alabama sisters: one resembles Kate Moss and is engaged to Stroke Albert Hammond Jr., the other looks like Lindsey Lohan and plays ukulele, kazoo, and guitar. Raised by hippie parents who exposed their offspring to the pastoral sounds of Simon & Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell, the siblings have conjured up a darn tootin' sexy folk rock album frothing with punk sensibilities, humor and a dash of Southern fried twang. With tongues deeply in cheeks, "Boring" bemoans the dullness of nights on the town in Paris and New York along with the occasional ménage a trios atop a grinding beat and scintillating harmonies." Turn On Billie" is a lilting waltz with bells and tubas ruminating over domestic disharmony. Is Mr. Hammond the reference in the campy show-tune romp "Boy In A Rock 'n' Roll Band?" Consult Page 6 for more details. Let's pray this torrid twosome knocks Fergie and Gwen off the top of the charts. Cold shower after initial listening highly recommended.
