sm-iom Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A failed covers band says Woody. Name a single cover version Primal Scream have actually released. I can't think of one. Some Velvet Morning. Slip inside this House Plus a few garage punk tunes on B-sides ... I'm 5 years Ahead of My Time 96 Tears Most recently a brilliant cover of Mantra For A State Of Mind http://www.stereogum.com/1871459/primal-scream-mantra-for-a-state-of-mind-sexpress-cover-feat-spiritualizeds-jason-pierce/mp3s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 They were going to play here with Paloma Faith, Johnny Marr et al (eta Davi Knowoles too I see), for something called the Isle of Man Festival in 2013. Pity that didn't go ahead. I see it is a gamble but the thought was certainly there. Hope you don't mind me posting this blatant plug here: http://www.triskelpromo.com/primal-scream/ Am being a bit rubbish uploading the poster Who's the support. An MLC's youngfella I wonder? (nought wrong with the lad, but I get the definite feeling that his postman daddy-cum-MHK-cum-MLC has pulled some strings and opened some doors along the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Ha! Fair enough. Still, 4 covers from 10 albums is hardly a 'failed covers band', unless you take it literally. Be interesting to see what kind of set list they're playing with at the moment. Wasn't too impressed with Chaosmosis to start with, it was a bit 'poppy' but it has grown on me, there are a couple of really cool tracks on it. The darker albums with Mani on are my favourites though, XTRMNTR is an astonishing piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lxxx Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The are undeniably a talented band. Quite what they'll think playing to a half empty Villa Marina and I'm not sure what the atmosphere will be like but good to have them here. I'll get down there for a boogie.

Albert Tatlock Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I suspect it will be quite full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It'll sell out for fun. Idiot DJ on energyfm this afternoon said his favourite Primal Scream song is Rocks. Morons like that will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
