The B-52's are an American New Wave / Art Pop band that formed in Athens, Georgia, USA in 1976. The band consists of *Kate Pierson* on organ and vocals, *Cindy Wilson* on guitar and vocals, *Ricky Wilson* on guitar (who sadly passed away in 1985), *Fred Schneider* on keyboards and vocals, and *Keith Strickland*, who initially played drums but later switched to guitar after Ricky Wilson's passing.
Known for their unique sound and energetic performances, The B-52's have been influential in the music industry. Their music combines elements of rock, pop, punk, and dance to create a distinct style that is instantly recognizable. With hits like "Love Shack" and "Rock Lobster," they have gained a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Classic post punk party album. Campy, arty funk, or the eccentric squeals and bouffant hairdos of Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. (Playing organ, Pierson also defined the band's sound.) They played toy instruments, and their thrift-store image was as inventive and colorful as their music - which, with Rock Lobster, was pretty inventive and colourful.
