New Wave
Party Rockers
B-52s bring
soaring hairdos,
harmonies back
The B-52s have inspired
whole new generations with
their new-wave party rock
since their inception in the late
1970s. 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.
