@historyofpunkrock I still follow them. The #ClimateChange crowd might like Channel Z.

@historyofpunkrock still love this record. Seeing them live on SNL around this time was mind blowing, one of my earliest memories of music hitting me like a shot of adrenaline through my entire body

@historyofpunkrock What a wonderful record. Crazy lyrics and insane performance on SNL. I was just a silly sophomore when the B52s landed and put Athens GA on the musical map.
