24. Another center of New Wave in America was the college town of Athens, Georgia. Along with R.E.M., what other group, which had two female vocalists, emerged from there as well?
From Quiz A Flock of New Wave
Answer:
The B-52's
The vocals of the B-52's blended the retro girl harmonies of Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson with the punk-like shouting energy of Fred Schneider. Pierson and Cindy sported a beehive hairdo that in earlier decades was called the B-52 for resembling the nosecone of the strategic bomber aircraft. Their many hits from the 1970s-80s included "Rock Lobster", "Private Idaho", "Wig", and "Love Shack".
When John Lennon heard "Rock Lobster", he told 'Rolling Stone' magazine, "it sounds just like [Yoko] Ono's music, so I said to meself, 'it's time to get out the old axe and wake the wife up!'". He then made his last album, "Double Fantasy" (1980).
There were other hubs of New Wave that formed in the United States, with very successful and influential acts. The Cars, led by Ric Ocasek, came from Boston. The Knack, whose "My Sharona" was released in 1979, was formed in Los Angeles, as was Oingo Boingo, founded by Danny Elfman, who went on to have a career composing film scores, including those of 'Batman' (1989) and 'Dumbo' (2019).
