DON’T MISS The Primitives, Moho Live, April 20

The Primitives will stage their first UK tour in 18 years next week when they play moho Live.

Fronted by pop bombshell Tracy Tracy, the band emerged from the indie scene of the mid-1980s alongside The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, The Wedding Present and Primal Scream. Their career was boosted when Morrissey named them his favourite band, and during The Smiths' final months he was often to be seen adorned in a Primitives T-shirt.

Widely acclaimed first album “Lovely” made them the UK’s indie-darlings as did single “Crash”.
