That wacky, colorful and always fun band of the past is finally making a return.
The B-52’s first release in 16 years is set to hit stores on March 25th. ‘Funplex’ is the first album with the band’s new label, Astralwerks.
All band members participated in the writing for the album which was recorded in their native Athens, GA.
Guitarist Keith Strickland described the recording, “It’s loud, sexy rock and roll for your pleasure zones, with the beat pumped up to hot pink.”
Astralwerks manager Glenn Mendlinger stated, “We are thrilled to be bringing The B-52’s music to a new generation of intergalactic fans. Cindy, Fred, Kate, and Keith have made an album that is incredibly fresh, dynamic and perhaps most importantly, quintessentially The B-52’s … instantly recognizable, instantly fun.”
Stumble it!
