Primal Scream, Maximum Rock & Roll
Primal Scream to release best of Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll, Getintothis Chris Flack gets his rocks off to some summer dates.
One of the highlights of the last year probably has to be Bobby Gillespie sitting, stoic, immovable, disgusted, as the panel on This Week on BBC2 danced to something called the Skibidi challenge. He’s that kind of cool.
Following the announcement of imminent release of the Primal Scream singles record Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll: The Singles, hitting the shelves, both real and virtual, at the end of May, Primal Scream have announced two intimate warm-up gigs at the Haunt in Brighton on May 20 and in Scala in London’s May 21.
Scala has a capacity of 1150, so this will be the most intimate show they’ll play in London in over a decade. If you imagine there will be three or four hundred tickets for friends and family, it’s going to be one hell of a show.
Over 30 plus years Primal Scream has veered through psychedelia to grungy rock’n’roll, rave and shoegazey goodness.
They’ve recorded with Kate Moss, and invited Mani from the Stone Roses and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine into studios, they’ve recorded with David Holmes and Andrew Weatherall.
They’ve survived absolute chaos, trauma, the loss of Robert Young all while soundtracking significant moments for all of us.
Their output is unchallengeable, their record beyond comparison.

If you’re lucky enough to have grabbed a ticket to any of these two shows you can guarantee an unmissable set in stunning venues.
