The Primates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Primates were one of the original post-punk / rock bands to come out of Athens, Georgia in the mid 1980s. Their loud, fast in-your-face hedonistic style is reminiscent of West Coast bands X and The Minutemen, but peppered with a definite influence of traditional Country Music. The Primates consisted of Eric Sales - bass and vocals, Greg Reece - guitar and vocals, and LH Sales, Jr. - drums and vocals. Before going three-piece, early in the first years The Primates had a second Rockabilly style guitarist - Mike Wigham.
