1147.0. "Primus - who they?" by WELCLU::GREENB (Lots of little Osmonds) Tue May 18 1993 19:13

    Who are theses people? Are they on bad drugs, or just mad? I have one
    lp, taped for me by a friend, called 'Sailing the Seas of Cheese', but
    know nothing else of them.
    
    If you like under-produced manic noise with strange rhythms and totally
    wired bass-playing, with a sense of humour to boot, give it a try.
    
    Any more information on these people gratefully received.

    The do a cover of XTC's 'Making Plans for Nigel' on a CD-5 extra play
    I have. They also cover Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar' as well as three
    other covers. 
    
    You're right - they are manic.

    I,ve only heard Tommy The Cat - which is pure dead brilliant - he's an
    amazing bass player - the guitarist is also excellent - oh and I like
    the drummer too.What's the rest of thier stuff like - veering towards
    HM?

    No, not HM, if labels be needed - their sound is generally much more
    manic/funky than that. Tommy the Cat is a fair representation of how
    they sound, really.

    I have the album "sailing on the seas of cheese" and the best way to
    describe thier music is "an aquired taste".Very funky bass playing,
    bizarre vocals/lyrics,some damn fine guitar playing and a drummer(I
    know nothing about drums)Tommy the cat is the best song from that album
    and it also contains some dialogue from Tom Waites.They released a live
    album that is supposed to be totally excellant but that's someone elses
    opinion,not mine.
