About Us

The Wanna Be-52’s is Portland, Oregon’s tribute to the original post-punk, new wave pioneers, often hailed as being The World’s Greatest Party Band! From “Rock Lobster” to “Love Shack” and everything in between, this band has been polishing their authentic sounding, stripped down tribute for more than 10 years! They focus on the first two legendary albums (the “Red” and “Yellow” albums) and include later dance floor favorites from the band’s top charting hits. Attend any of their super energetic performances, and it’ll be a party out of bounds on your cosmic trip to Planet Claire and beyond.

The Wanna Be-52’s is made up of six experienced, fun-loving musicians, all of which are big fans of the band from Athens GA. They pride themselves in sounding as close to the original early recordings as possible, and love bringing that energy to the stage!
