This is taken from the News section on their site. I have been wondering what's been up with them. They are supposed to be working on a comeback album.

• The B-52's "Pump" up "The L Word" - Old news for some, but I finally got the ok from all involved to post that the B-52's will appear on a 2006 episode of "The L Word" performing a brand new song!

The B's will unveil "Pump" on an episode to be aired around May 2006 (don't hold us to this date). The song won't appear on the show's soundtrack, but the band hopes to be able to release the song via digital download. The appearance is sure to light up primetime, so keep an eye out as the date approaches for more info.

Very Cool. They are FUN!

Any mention of a new album? Come on, it's been like 13 years now.

Their last album with Cindy Wilson included was on 1989's "Cosmic Thing"!

1992's "Good Stuff" was only Fred, Kate and Keith.

Didn't Cindy record "Debbie" and "Hallucinating Pluto" with the band for the 'Time Capsule' album?

I just did a performance with them in August. Had to dance onstage with them. I talked a bit w/ Fred and Kate was vert sweet. She wanted her picture taken with all of the dancers and gave us her e-mail to send them to her. I haven't even seen the photos yet though because a friend has them on her camera.

Yes, but the 4 of them haven't done a whole album together since 1989.

I saw them perform once a few years ago. Lots of energy. Very enjoyable songs. I hope they still have it!

Anyone know/remember the story behind Cindy leaving in the first place?

I seem to recall that she got married and wanted to be with her family.

I think she also had a baby.
