Glaswegian rock band Primal Scream have landed one of
the prestigious support slots for The Stone Roses’ first Heaton Park show on
Friday, 29th June 2012.
The band joins The Vaccines, The Wailers and Kid
British in an exciting line-up for the first of three huge hometown gigs for
the reformed Manchester band.
The Scream are one of Glasgow’s most famous exports and
have been responsible for some of the best British albums of recent times, such
as 1991’s Screamadelica and 1999’s XTRMNTR. They are renowned for changing
their sound and incorporating different genres, such as blues rock and dance
music.
I think this is an amazing honour for the band to play
at one of the most highly-anticipated British gigs in years. With a fantastic
pedigree as a live band, stretching back over two decades, I believe the band
will prove incredibly popular with a demanding Manchester crowd that will be
impatiently awaiting the return of The Roses.
Most recently Primal Scream headlined Edinburgh’s
annual Hogmanay bash by playing their Screamadelica album in full. The band
have been working on new material and hope to release a follow-up to 2008’s
Beautiful Future later this year. A replacement for bassist Mani, who left the
band to re-join The Stone Roses, has yet to be announced.
Primal Scream’s highest chart song was 2006’s Country
Girl, which reached number 5 in the UK singles chart. Watch the band perform it
at T in the Park below:
