If you don’t think 'Private Idaho' is one of the greatest pop songs of all time, you may as well stop reading right now. Likewise, if you’ve never indulged in gyrating toward the ground to 'Rock Lobster' or screaming like a 15 year old at a Blue Light Disco to 'Love Shack', don’t bother with this article.
Everyone’s favourite flamboyant male/female poppers, The B-52s return with a new album chock full of swirling ditties, crass yelps and more alternating boy-girl action than a Pixies release (or maybe an all-out pornographic movie). Plus there’s more hair than, well, an all-out pornographic movie.
The Georgian foursome returns after their last release Good Stuff from more than 16 years ago. Party record, soundtrack to spasmodica, guilty pleasure album... you name it, The B-52s have every base covered with Funplex, leaving you no excuse to not own this album. Join in on all the fun of the unofficial album launch party at The Globe for your chance to hear the new tracks and dance like an absolute fool while you’re at it. Matching towels a must.
