The B-52s and Squeeze
Saturday, July 7, 2012.
Two great bands, one rockin’ night! Ticket prices range from $40 to $80.

The B-52s are still the World’s Greatest Party Band.  Naming themselves after Southern slang for exaggerated ‘bouffant’ hairdos, the newly-christened The B-52s turned weekend road trips into gigs.  A record deal soon followed and their self-titled debut disc sold more than 500,000 copies. The B-52s created a mix of songs, styles, phrases and images that would set the standard for the development of the ‘alternative music scene’ for the next decade.  Their album Cosmic Thing proved to be the greatest commercial achievement for the group, and its success propelled the band to international superstars.

From the timeless gems of “Rock Lobster,” “Planet Claire,” and “Private Idaho” to the more recent classics “Channel Z,” “Love Shack,” and “Roam,” The B-52s’ unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins.

Squeeze was formed in 1973 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. Over 35 years later, with their legacy intact and as vital as it has ever been, Squeeze is still touring and reminding fans worldwide just why they have left such an indelible impression on the music scene. Squeeze’s witty kitchen-sink lyricism and new-wave guitar music can be heard in such hits as “Tempted,” “Pulling Muscles from a Shell” and “Black Coffee in Bed.” As they begin their third U.S. tour, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have survived the ever-changing musical landscape – still going strong and still loving every moment. Tickets on sale now at www.diamondjo.com; the Diamond Jo Casino’s Diamond Club or by calling 563-690-4800.
