020 - Kate Pierson - B-52's Founding Member

Oh Boy by Man Repeller

If you ever need a throwback hit to make your day better, "Love Shack" is a classic that never fails. Of course, there wouldn't be a "Love Shack" without Kate Pierson -- one of the lead singers and founding members of The B-52's. In this episode of Oh Boy, Jay Buim sits down with Pierson to talk about her post-college journey spent hitch-hiking through Europe, the year she spent living in a shack in the middle of a field outside of Athens, Georgia, and of course, how she met the band that would become The B-52's.
