Includes an insert with liner notes and rare photos and ephemera. This 1986 album by The Primates remains as the only recording ever released by these four '60s R&B and garage fans. Combining great originals and versions, We Are The Primates remains as a wild, raw, party album that every fan of garage music should own. Originally published on Greg Shaw's very own Voxx and produced by Shaw himself, this valuable musical document portraits the essence of the L.A. '80s garage scene.
The Primates were formed in 1984 and cut their teeth at L.A. spots such as the Cavern Club, as part of a growing scene of devoted Nuggets/Pebbles fans, fascinated with 1960s garage punk classics. The core of the band were Brett Miller and Ted Edlefsen, sporting Vox guitars, and Erik Bluhm as front man, with different drummers, mostly Brian Corrigan but then also Eric from Threw the Looking Glass and Gene from The Miracle Workers. The opener "I Ain't Like You," "Bad Luck," or the fun cover of Neil Sedaka's "I Go Ape" reflect the wild, party-driven mood of the entire album, making you wonder how crazy their shows were in the golden era of the L.A. '80s garage scene.
Combining originals and versions. Munster is thrilled to reissue this essential '80s garage gem as part of a series of releases celebrating Bomp! 50th anniversary.
