New Wave Outpost Forum

According to starpulse.com...

[i]The B-52's, pioneering dance-rock stars, are exploding on the scene once again with the February 26th, 2008 release of 'Funplex', the band's first studio album in 16 years and the first with the Astralwerks label.[/i]

Hmmm... what was the rush, were The Fine Young Cannibals breathing down your neck?

PS Another source claims the release date will be March 24.

I can say that I will definitely buy it.



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

I'll buy it, too, without thinking twice. They look amazing - hope they sound as good.

Love the look! Evocative of new wave.

Goodness, Kate is hot. [}:)]

Can't wait to get my hands on this!

Hmm - both Kate and Cindy look great as M-I-L-F's

(I may be in a minority that doesn't give a fluff) [:D]

Good on em though!

They sure are all looking gayer than ever before... looking forward to hearing some of the songs on the radio! Will I buy? Maybe, maybe not... need to hear some songs from the CD first! I am glad they are still together and recording... that Fred sure is looking his most gay-est ever...

Here they are performing live: Rock Lobster, and Fred is hitting that cowbell... M-O-R-E cowbell, more cowbell...

I agree that I would have to hear it first...their last album was lousy, The Flintstones song was horrible and when I saw them in concert, they had no rapport with the audience and gave no encore at all.

According to AllMusicGuide:
Release date is March 25, 2008

01. Pump
02. Hot Corner
03. Ultraviolet
04. Juliet of the Spirits
05. Funplex
06. Eyes Wide Open
07. Love in the Year 3000
08. Deviant Ingredient
09. Too Much to Think About
10. Dancing Now
11. Keep This Party Going

P.S. Keith looks damn hot! I would do him. [:p]

B-52s in concert from WXPN and the Electric Factory in Philadelphia April 25, 2008.
