The B-52s are the World's Greatest Party Band and five decades and over twenty million albums into their career, there can be no doubt as to why they remain among the most beloved rock stars ever.

Any mystery concerning the longevity and ongoing appeal of the band is immediately solved when exposed to a unique B-52s concert experience.

From the timeless gems of 'Rock Lobster', 'Planet Claire' and 'Private Idaho' to the more recent classics 'Channel Z', 'Love Shack' and 'Roam', the B-52s' unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins.

Devo

Post-punk rock group Devo who, formed in the early seventies, make music comparable to Pixies and Sonic Youth but with a weird sci-fi twist.

The Rezillos are a classic 70s punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland, reunited and reformed for the new Millennium. Best known to many for their 1978 British Top 20 hit 'Top Of The Pops' as well as the classics 'Destination Venus' and 'I Can't Stand My Baby' and '(My baby Does) Good Sculptures'. They released the single 'Out Of this World' on CD, download and 7" vinyl on December 1st 2011.

In March 2015 they released they're long awaited (37 years!) second album, ZERO, which was univerally hailed as a worthy follow up. They toured this album supporting The Stranglers round the UK, toured the US and Canada in May and again in July 2015 and ended the year with a two month headline tour throughout the UK. Original members Fay Fife, Eugene Reynolds and Angel Paterson are augmented by Chris Agnew on bass and Jim Brady guitar.

Lene Lovich Band

Detroit-born legendary post-punk pop singer Lene Lovich hit the top of the UK charts with her single “Lucky Number” in 1979, and was crowned the “Queen of Quirk”, influencing a generation of pop and alternative acts, from Nina Hagen to Boy George, and from Madonna to Dresden Dolls. A normally reclusive figure, Lovich turned her back on the limelight after her third album No Man’s Land was released in 1982 amid disagreements with her record company about her unwillingness to compromise her groundbreaking visual style for the then newly emergent MTV. Subsequently she only recorded two albums in the next thirty years.

Lovich’s unique vocal and visual style, along with her catchy but experimental songwriting, has exerted a huge influence over alternative pop culture and garnered her many plaudits and continued interest. She has been described as everything from “Kate Bush on acid” to “the New Wave Maria Callas”. Her hits “Lucky Number”, “Say When”, “Bird Song” and “New Toy” are still regular features in the clubs and radio of Europe, Japan, Australia and the USA.
