GALVESTON — The high-energy, award-winning musical group The B-52’s will perform such hits as “Rock Lobster,” “Love Shack” and “Deadbeat Club,” at The Grand 1894 Opera House at 8 p.m. today.
In 1979, The B-52’s issued their self-titled debut album, which scored an underground club hit with a reworked version of “Rock Lobster.”
The ’80s proved to be a decade of transition and regrouping, and it was not until 1989, when The B-52’s finally returned with “Cosmic Thing” — their most commercially successful endeavor to date.
Right on the heels of this success were such hit singles as the party smash “Love Shack,” “Roam” and “Deadbeat Club.”
In 2008, after almost 16 years out of the limelight, the band returned — albeit with some changes and released a new album, “Funplex” — a slick, synthesizer-driven collection produced by Steve Osborne.
Ticket prices range from $18.50 to $88.
Call 409-765-1894 or 800-821-1894 or visit www.thegrand.com.
The Grand 1894 Opera House is located at 2020 Postoffice St., in Galveston.
All major credit cards are accepted.
