“Every time they take a stage, The B-52s prove that there has never been another band remotely like them"- Rolling Stone
“Dance music sounds so much better when performed live by an actual band of flesh, blood and several cubic yards of eyeliner.” - The Washington Post
“The new songs jumped alongside the old ones with cheeky verve.” - The Boston Globe
“It’s impossible to attend a B-52s show and not find your leg reflexively bouncing or your head bobbing uncontrollably- Richmond Times-Dispatch
Recorded in their native Athens and released earlier this year, Funplex saw the band return to excellent reviews after a 16 year hiatus and once again deliver a collection of classic B-52s material. With its primal guitar hooks, driving drums and the B-52s unmistakable vocal style, Funplex is instantly recognizable as quintessential and contemporary B-52s.
The band recently released the “Juliet of the Spirits” Remix EP which features remixes from some of world’s most sought-after electronic producers - Zoned Out, Dan McKie, Glenn Morrison & Bruce Aisher, and Morgan Page.
