The B-52s drop into Milwaukee
If your knowledge of The B-52s ended 16 years ago -- or even earlier -- you're not alone. The iconic new wave band that brought you songs like "Rock Lobster" became a huge mainstream success with 1989's "Cosmic Thing" and its party anthem, "Love Shack." They play Saturday night at the Pabst Theater.

Fleet Foxes please a packed Pabst
Incorporating acoustic and electric guitar, the mandolin and a load of percussion instruments including the maracas and the tambourine, Fleet Foxes flowed from one song into the next frequently changing instruments and vocalists. A laidback percussion and ground baseline reminds listeners of the organic creation, progressive thought and innate purity in bands like the Decembrists and Band of Horses.
