The dynamic group, known for cheeky lyrics and groovy dance-rock beats, will once again storm the Oregon Zoo stage, Friday, Aug. 13 as part of the summer concert series, presented by Northwest Natural. “This was, without a doubt, one of our best shows last sum mer. It sold out quickly and al most everyone was on their feet from the moment the B-52s hit the spotlights until the electric finale,” said Krista Swan, zoo events coordinator. “One of the best parts about the zoo’s con cert series is the dance floor right next to the stage, concertgoers are able to groove through the night just a few feet away from their favorite bands.” The B -52s’ first single, “Rock Lobster,” became an underground sensation in 1978 and was included on the band’s self-titled debut album the fol lowing year. A fter several more hit albums, the band achieved its biggest commer cial success on 1989’s “Cos mic Thing,” which spawned their signature smash “Love Shack,” as well as hits like “Roam” and “Deadbeat Club.” 2008’s “Funplex,” the B-52s’ first full-length studio album in 16 years, featured beefier gui tars and sleeker electronics but maintained the clever lyrics and danceable party-rock sounds that first brought them stardom in 1979. Tickets for the B-52s can be purchased at the Oregon Zoo for $27 each, or purchased (with service charge) at all Ticketmaster ticket centers.
