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.
