B52s' Kate Pierson Releases Debut LP On Vinyl at Barnes & Noble Today

Kate Pierson - iconic voice and founding member of the B52s, punk, new wave, genre-defying band, released her debut solo record, Guitars and Microphones earlier this year via Lazy Meadow Music/Kobalt Label Services. In celebration of Vinyl Day and the month long "Get Pop Cultured" promotion at Barnes & Noble, the critically acclaimed album has been made available on vinyl exclusively in-store and online nationwide beginning today. Kate will also make a special meet & greet appearance to sign CDs and vinyl at the Barnes & Noble in Kingston, NY tomorrow (7/25).

Produced by Tim Anderson (Ima Robot), Guitars and Microphones features Nick Valensi(The Strokes) on several tracks, with songs co-written by Sia, who executive produced the album. A revered pop icon, Kate's songs are rife with girl group wit, drama, and rejection of stereotypes, and her solo offerings are big songs with bigger meanings.

The album is available now on iTunes, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
