  • It’s March Musical Madness—The B-52’s on PBS

    Author: Bob Etier

    If you’re lucky enough to catch the B-52’s in concert, you probably won’t see them in outrageous costumes and hairstyles.

    The B-52’s with the Wild Crowd! Live in Athens, GA will be seen in March (beginning March 3) on PBS stations as part of March’s special programming. Athens is the band’s hometown and this performance was filmed in February 2011 to commemorate the 34th anniversary of their first-ever live show. Three decades have not diminished the iconic group's eccentric, unique style which Fred Schneider describes: “We just did our own thing, which was a combination of rock ‘n roll, funk, and Fellini, and game show host, and corn, and mysticism.”
