The show is the third date of the music series event On The Mount At Wasing, which is comprised of five dates through late June and early July, and it is the latest addition to the Scottish alternative rock band’s busy summer festival schedule. The band have made a habit of performing at summer festivals the past few years since the release of their last album in 2016 and this year is no different, as they will be performing live in Cornwall, Edinburgh, Dublin, Madrid among other cities.
Formed by lead singer and only ever-present member Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beattie in Glasgow in 1982, Primal Scream are the epitome of an ever-changing and experimental rock outfit. Starting out with indie pop, they soon moved on to develop a psychedelic rock sound in the late 80s before, in 1991, adding an alternative dance element with the release of their most renowned album to date, Screamadelica. Their latest album, Chaosmosis, was released in 2016 and their current line up, after the sad news of the death of Martin Duffy last December, consists of Gillespie (lead vocals), Andrew Innes (guitar, keyboards), Darrin Mooney (drums, percussion), and Simone Butler (bass guitar, keyboards, percussion).
Joining them at the music series event to create a legendary double bill is the American psychedelic rock band and music project The Brian Jonestown Massacre, fronted by Anton Newcombe. The band, much like Primal scream, has undergone several transformations in terms of the music it has produced in its history and continues to be a vehicle of experimental rock music to this day. Formed in San Francisco in 1990, The Brian Jonestown Massacre initially developed a shoegaze sound, drawing on influences from similarly ethereal groups Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine, before incorporating blues, folk and psychedelic sounds into their music, drawing heavily on a 60s aesthetic. The band recently released their 20th album, The Future Is Your Past, on 10th February 2023.
