Bikini Whale formed in 2011, with their first performance intended as a “one-time thing” for a Halloween show.  It went over so well that ever since – they have paid tribute to a band that has influenced countless weirdos and eccentrics for decades.

The band, whose name comes from the B-52s’ seminal hit “Rock Lobster,” are long-time Boston area musicians who strive to bring the interstellar party vibe of the original band to every show.

Painstaking attention to detail – harmonies, oddball tunings, and look – give the audience an experience that’s as close to the real B-52s as possible.
