British indie pop pioneers The Primitives have announced their debut Australian shows. They’re heading to Brisbane and Melbourne in March 2024 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of their seminal debut album, Lovely.
The Primitives are set to play all of their best-known songs on the 2024 Australian tour, including the likes of ‘Crash’, ‘Stop Killing Me’ and the remainder of the Lovely track listing. Details below.
The Primitives – ‘Crash’
The Primitives formed in Coventry, in England’s West midlands, in the mid-1980s. It wasn’t until original vocalist Keiron McDermott made way for Tracy Tracy in 1986 that the band began to assert its artistic voice. Tracy’s influence sparked a melodic shift for the band, which was central to the crossover success of Lovely.
The Primitives’ current lineup features Tracy, founding guitarist Paul Court and drummer Tig Williams, who’s been a core member since 1987. The band split up in 1991 but reformed in 2009 following the death of former bass player, Steve Dullaghan. Their latest LP is 2014’s Spin-O-Rama.
