The B-52's with The Rezillos and DEVO

The B-52s, formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976, are known for quirky, dance-friendly new wave music. Hits include "Love Shack" and "Rock Lobster." They mixed surf, '60s pop, and sci-fi styles with a queer sensibility. Collaborating with Nile Rodgers and Don Was, their album "Cosmic Thing" sold over 4 million copies. Respected in alternative pop, they tour regularly, celebrating milestones like the 30th anniversary of "Cosmic Thing."

The Rezillos, formed in 1976 in Edinburgh, Scotland, are known for their glam rock style and campy girl group iconography. Key members included Eugene Reynolds and Fay Fife. Their 1977 debut single "I Can't Stand My Baby" launched their success, followed by the U.K. Top 20 hit "Top of the Pops." Despite disbanding in 1978, they re-formed as The Revillos, releasing hits like "Where's the Boy for Me?" and touring globally. They later reunited as The Rezillos, continuing to perform and release new music, including the 2015 album Zero.

Devo, formed in Akron, Ohio, is an influential new wave band known for their satire and unique style. They gained fame with the hit "Whip It" and its iconic MTV video. Known for their robotic rhythms and bold visuals, they collaborated with Brian Eno and influenced many artists. Despite fading in the '80s, they remained iconic, releasing soundtracks, engaging in reunions, and celebrating a storied career with the anthology "50 Years of De-Evolution." They worked with Disney on youngsters’ band DEV2.0 and have continually shaped pop culture through innovation.
