THE PRIMITIVES - ANYONE REMEMBER?

Before you could even register it in your recent memory they were gone in a flash! The Primitives, (led by Tracy Tracy) were a poppy group coming out of the brilliant late 80's. The other bands that surrounded this brief but interesting period were Poi Dog Pondering, the Proclaimers and The Jack Rubies.

They had an interesting edge over the stuff that permeated the airwaves in the entire 1990's decade. These songs stood on their own. Each one was different and took some thought and imagination in putting them together.

The Primitives were featured in the movie Dumb and Dumber along with Echobelly. These songs were brilliant on their own but also helped lift up the film. They dissolved very quickly after this movie was released.
