This is the kind of big band we want - maybe not firmly ensconsed in the nation's hearts and charts, but just you watch those punters flock to Teviot tonight. The Primrtives have so far released four singles on the Lazy label, the first being Thru The Flowers at the tail-end of 1985. The melodic sweetness of singer Tracy's vocals contrasted sharply with the shrieking feed back of the guitars - what a dichotomy! This was followed by Really Stupid and Stop Killing Me, which met with critical acclaim but, surprise, surprise, didn't hit it big. 1987 and The Primitives hit the headlines, not least 'cos of drummer Pete Tweedy's orgas mic attack on Tracy's cat, and his subsequent departure from the band. This incident somewhat marred what looked like the start The Smiths of a rosy ca reer: the support slot Six albums worth of material has been created, all of it artisti on the Echo and the Bunnymen cally successful.
