Lizard King Records US, the new branch of the UK label which signed The Killers in 2004 and smartly broke them in the UK first, is launching a roster of new acts here in the States. The Pierces (sisters Catherine and Allison) will be the first out of the gate for Lizard King Records US. The ladies recently completed a jaunt in Europe opening for Albert Hammond, Jr., on part of his time away from The Strokes.

The Pierces upcoming record Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was produced by Roger Grenawalt (Ben Kweller, Adam Green) and will hit stores in February 2007. Meanwhile you can check out two tracks here: Boy in a Rock 'n' Roll Band and Go To Heaven.

If you are in the New York area you can catch them live December 22 at Maxwells in Hoboken and January 5th at the Mercury Lounge.

Labels: The Pierces
