The B-52's Party Rages On


The B-52's - with its string of MTV hits like "Love Shack," "Planet Claire," "Private Idaho" and "Rock Lobster" - just issued a new album 'Funplex' after a 16-year hiatus. Judging from the new music, the party's still going on.
Singers Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson prove right away they can still create sweet harmonies, while Fred Schneider displays that he's lost none of his campy spark and still sounds credible when barking out stories of hot mamas cruising the mall while high on diet pills.
