Scotland’s Simple Minds and Athens, Georgia natives The B-52s may be from opposite sides of the globe, but what they have in common is that elusive combination of critical acclaim, cult status and mainstream success.
Simple Minds' 16th album Big Music, released 18 months ago, rekindled the band’s energy and attitude and won rave reviews.
‘Their best album in 30 years.’ - Mojo ????????‘Simple Minds at their ideal fighting weight.’ - Q Magazine ????????‘Big Music is the genuine article: a remarkable record that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any of Simple Minds' first five albums.’ - Record Collector ????????‘One of the world’s great live bands’ - BBC
Throughout their lengthy career, the band has retained its enviable reputation as one of THE great live concert bands.
The B-52’s put Athens, Georgia on the musical map with their quirky and unconventional take on the new wave sound of the era. Their irrepressible live shows and massive hits like ‘Rock Lobster’, ‘Private Idaho’, ‘Roam’ and the barnstorming ‘Love Shack’ have endeared them to audiences worldwide.
In January 2013 Keith Strickland announced that he had made a decision to stop touring with the band saying: “I will continue to be in The B-52s - I will just not tour. My barnstorming days have come to an end, but I wholeheartedly support Cindy, Fred and Kate's decision to continue.”
