The B-52s - with Kate Pierson
Podcast: Queer the Music with Jake ShearsPublished On: Tue Oct 28 2025
Description: This week is a big one - we are celebrating the iconic The B-52's. A band that paved the way for queer artists through their unapologetic on-stage identity and camp aesthetic. Their non-conformist attitude and unique sound has had a huge and lasting impact on rock and pop music - you can witness their influence on artists from Boy George to Chappell Roan. Jake credits them with the very existence of The Scissor Sisters and was thrilled to speak to one of his all-time musical heroes Kate Pierson for this special episode. We'd love to hear from you!
