- **Event Name**: The Primitives live in Leeds
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: The Primitives emerged from the UK independent music scene of the
mid-1980s with a sound that distilled the shimmering guitar chime of The
Byrds, the buzzsaw style of The Ramones and 60's girl group melodies into
two-and-a-half-minute pop gems.
After topping the indie singles chart several times, their widely acclaimed first
album, Lovely, made them one of the UK’s most revered alternative rock acts,
while the international success of the single “Crash” saw them cross over to a
mass audience. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio
albums, Pure and Galore, plus extensive tours of Europe and the US, before
the band called it a day in 1992.
In 2008, Mojo Magazine named The Primitives’ second single “Really Stupid”
one of the top 40 greatest UK indie singles of all time.
The band were reunited in 2009 by the untimely passing of their original bass
player Steve Dullaghan, reforming to play a show in his memory later that year
in their hometown Coventry; their first time on stage together for 17 years.
Bolstered by the success of this and of a secret show in London, they went on
to tour the UK in April 2010, followed by shows in the US and Europe.
In 2011 The Primitives released the Never K*ll A Secret EP through Fortuna
Pop! The record featured two brand new songs and two covers of female
fronted pop obscurities, the latter two being a taster for the covers album
Echoes and Rhymes, released on Elefant records in 2012.
An album of new original Primitives songs entitled Spin-O-Rama was released
in 2014 and was showered with lavish praise; the general opinion being that it
sounded like an alternative follow-up to their classic 1988 debut album Lovely.
In 2025 Elefant Records put out the double vinyl collection Let’s Go Round
Again - Second Wave Singles &amp; Rarities 2011 - 2025, featuring new material
along with all of the A sides, B sides and miscellaneous tracks that the band
have released over the past 14 years.
Since reforming The Primitives have toured the UK multiple times, performed
all around Europe and paid several visits to the US and Japan.
The current line-up of the band includes original members Tracy Tracy
(vocals), Paul Court (guitar/vocals) and Tig Williams (drums).
