One of the most entertaining two-day celebrations of punk in the Bay Area returns to Oakland this weekend when the Mosswood Meltdown gathers an array of local and national punk acts including new wave greats the B-52s, local legends the Mummies, LA pop-punk heroes Redd Kross and much more.

Drawing influence from retro '50s and '60s sounds , party atmosphere and what critics described as 'thrift shop chic,' the group's nervy new wave songs quickly found an audience with the global hit 'Rock Lobster.'The tune powered the sales of the outfit's self-titled debut when it was released in 1979, but the entire album was filled with such dance classics as 'Planet Claire' and '52 Girls,' earning its status as a classic of the era.
