A KOSTAS SPECIAL
The B-52's: 1979 - 1983
Kostas says: "Formed on an October night in 1976 following drinks at an Athens, GA, Chinese restaurant, the band played their first gig at a friend's house on Valentine's Day 1977. Naming themselves after Southern slang for exaggerated 'bouffant" hairdos, the newly-christened B-52s (Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and Ricky Wilson) began weekend road trips to New York City for gigs at CBGB's and a handful of other venues. Making music that's full of quirks but also friendly and fun to dance to, the B-52s filter surf music, '60s pop, vintage soul, and low-budget sci-fi soundtracks through a pop culture kaleidoscope. Among the first American new wave acts to break through to mainstream visibility, the B-52s became one of the biggest success stories to emerge from the American underground in the late '70s. "
