Original dance-rockers B-52s keep the party going into the 21st Century with
earth-shattering Funplex.
Once again the irrepressible American new wave-punksters return after a (blimey!)
16 year hiatus and remind us of their insatiable desire to get us on the dance
floor. Retaining all their funky grooves, high-hooked chorus, Funplex
carries on from when they effectively signed-off way back in 1999 with hits
like Love Shack '99, a remix of their 1990 original, and cult-rockers
Rock Lobster/Planet Claire.
