Mosswood Meltdown with The B-52's, Hunx and His Punx, and more

Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976, the B-52s were among the first American new wave acts to break mainstream. Their quirky, dance-friendly sound broke through with Rock Lobster and peaked with the multi-platinum Cosmic Thing and hit Love Shack.

An annual two-day punk and garage music festival held at Mosswood Park in Oakland, California, hosted by filmmaker John Waters and featuring underground legends and rising stars.

Hunx and His Punx, a San Francisco/Los Angeles band formed in 2008 by Seth Bogart, delivers punk rock and queercore. Their "young oldies" style blends 60s girl group pop with garage punk, known for a flamboyant, John Waters-inspired aesthetic. Key albums include "Too Young to Be in Love", "Street Punk", and "Walk Out on This World". They have toured with Bikini Kill and The B-52s.

LA-bred Redd Kross: Jeff & Steven McDonald fuse punk/metal/bubblegum pop; songs “Linda Blair,” “Charlie” + “(It’s A) Sunshine Day”; worked w/ Bonaduce, Pat Smear, Buzz Osbourne.
