Hear The B-52s Funplex ... Plus Kate Pierson on Her Coming Out!
You may have caught NewNowNext.com's interview with Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider of cosmic pop-punk party band The B-52s a while back, but check out this mini-revelation: The always queer-friendly group has a new, official gay!
And more news: The band's Funplex album - its first new material in 15 years! - came out this week. Faster, pussycat! We love these gays! And don't miss the "Funplex" music video world TV premiere on LOGO ... on NewNowNext Music Sunday night!
What a GREAT surprise! Kate Pierson is "family" too! I loooove it! I was a B52's fan in high school; and STILL am today! I really like Funplex. I am going to get the album. I hope the group continues the music for a long time. "Welcome", Kate! Fred, you are the cat's meow! LOL.

I'm bummed too, but I'd rather be bummed over her than be bummed...if you know what i mean.....and I think you do! hey, if I was a chick, I'd be a lesbian too!

Congrats Kate! If Monica makes you happy then I wish you both all the best in the world from the bottom of my heart.

I just actually read somewhere else that Kate is bisexual, so I can still hope

a) Congatulations;
b) Hardly what I'd call a shocker;
c) At the end of the day, their input (way beyond funny whigs and party glitz) is what they'll be remembered by.

I'm having trouble with the "R" on my keypad. But I did mean Congrats.
Thank You

If I didn't love her before (and I always did), then I do now (even more)! Love and blessings to you and Monica!

Mark E Smith from The Fall told us she was a dyke fuckin' years ago and I'm talking 70's. Big deal. Bean flicker or no bean flicker - her throaty / nasal voice was cool and she was well worth a bum. No chance of that now though eh?!!

Who cares these days?
God bless her and she's got a great voice, really gutsy and right on the nail, live.
Her work with REM is spot on.
If you don't believe me, check out "Me In Honey"!..
Rich.

Regardless of her orientation, Kate always has been been and always will be "family"!

All you people who have contributed the mindless and quite frankly scary anti gay comments about Kate's coming out are disgusting, she is a human being and deserves to grace our beautiful planet more than the likes of these retards who make these comments, and i apologise to real people with the term retard given to them or what their state of health that i compared the two of you.

major bummer - gender traitor. Tradition shredder. Dream dissolver.

Kate's great and Monica is a lucky, lucky woman. It's to bad that people can't just be happy for them. I for one hope they have a long and happy life together.

Well, hey, they sang the line in the FLINTSTONES theme...
"We'll have a gay old time!"
