Glitter on the mattress
ROCK LOBSTAHH!
I always found it so weird how the B52’s music is so buoyant and bubbly and kitschy and fun but every time I see a picture of them from the early days they always look so dour and serious for some reason
Everyone had matching towels…
TIL B-52’s not a reference to the bomber plane, but to the size of their beehive hairdos.
I used to think that the dude on the left as he got older was the same dude who does the voice for Mr Burns
Ill bring you fish!
Cindy and Ricky Wilson really looking like their sibling here.
Has anybody seen, a dog dyed dark green?
What’s that on their heads?
Their first album is a classic, one of the best of that era.
Where’s their lead singer, Gilbert Gottfried?
Ricky Wilson – a criminally under-appreciated guitarist
My favorite band. Got to see the last tour. Amazing. Always a good time with them.
Wyatt Russell hasn’t aged a day.
Oh the things that happened inside my 11 year old brain upon hearing the lyrics to “Strobe Light“ for the first time. I agree…I wanna touch some pineapples too.
Kate Pierson, the person I want to go bush with. If a bear attacks it goes for her hair whilst I run the other way
Man, I’ve been looking at too many AI images. This looks like AI to me. lol
I saw Cindy once in a Mexican restaurant in Athens around the time of this photo. She was with a group of people, but I just remember her. She wore brown corduroy pants and a baseball jersey, and her hair was down and long. She was stunning! Real star power. Have never forgotten it.
Saw them, briefly, in Orlando in the ’80s. It was a triple header, with Joan Jett, the B-52s, and The Who.
They came on, did like two songs, and some fucking asshole lobs a soda and smacks the keyboardist in the face.
They stopped playing, Fred went over to check on her, then walked back to the mike, and said “Fuck you, Orlando.”
They left the stage, and everyone in the audience got to hold their dicks for the next four or five hours until The Who came on.
Worst. Concert. EVER.
They played at University of Chicago in 1982 I think. It was like a high school sock hop. I still remember it. Great, Great Show!
where are their wings?
Which is about the time I heard Rock Lobster and thought this band was amazing.
Unlike a particular wallaby, they had an extraordinary and fun life.
Looks like clothes from the cover of the Party Mix album. Must have been the same shoot, which I think was by Lynn Goldsmith.
Private Idaho is such a banger
Look at those beehives on the lady’s
