Long before the rivalry between Oasis and Blur, Radiohead's breakthrough, the emergence of Manic Street Preachers or the era of Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys, Primal Scream had set the sound of the British music scene. The band originated after singer Bobby Gillespie quit his job as a drummer with legendary The Jesus & Mary Chain and decided to start his own band. Their breakthrough came with the release of the legendary album Screamadelica (1991), on which Primal Scream flawlessly blended genres like indie, rock, gospel, pop and dance to create their own specific sound but their career did not stop there! In 2000, they still managed to surprise friend and foe with the brilliant album XTRMNTR (which music site Pitchfork decried as "somewhere between the kraut-loving Chemical Brothers and latter-era Fugazi”), last year they released the strong album Chaosmosis. In 2013 Primal Scream played the Lokerse Festivals, a memorable concert which newspaper ‘De Morgen’ rated with four stars and described the gig as: “A top Primal Scream concert, over classing the all competition"), on 16th June they are coming to Borgerhout for YOU!
Support is provided by Manngold. A band Cutting Edge (Magazine) once decried as "uncontrolled trance-a-roll", and that might be spot)-on. So be on time!
