RELEASE NEWS

The B-52’s are BAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKK!


Just pop enough to feel clean and danceable, just weird enough to not be cloying, and just camped up enough to sound like the house band for Pee-Wees Playhouse, The B-52’s are the ultimate weirdo party band — and they are fully back. Not that they ever really left, but now they are releasing their first album in 16 years.

16 years?!?

Yeah dude, 16 years.

It’s called Funplex, and it’s hitting the streets via Astralwerks on February 26, 2008. Produced by Steve Osbourne (he’s worked with New Order), the album has been described by guitarist Kevin Strickland as "Loud, sexy rock & roll with the beat pumped up to hot pink."

1. Pump 2. Hot Corner 3. Ultraviolet 4. Juliet of the Spirits 5. Funplex 6. Eyes Wide Open 7. Love in the Year 3000 8. Deviant Ingredient 9. Too Much to Think About 10. Dancing Now 11. Keep This Party Going
