What Are They Up To? Cindy recently formed the Cindy Wilson Band, initial doing shows around Atlanta and now spreading further across the US. This does not mean she’s leaving the B-52s, just doing her own additional thing just as Kate has been for years.
The most recent release, B-52's Anthology, ‘Nude On The Moon’, was released in January 2002 by Rhino Records. This 35 song, 2 CD set featured previously unheard material as well as the biggest hits. They continue touring throughout the USA regularly.
