This 1986 album by The Primates remains as the only recording ever released by these four 60s r&b and garage fans. Originally published on Greg Shaw’s very own Voxx (Bomp! sublabel focused on revival garage/psychedelia) and produced by Shaw himself, this valuable musical document that portraits the essence of the L.A. 80s garage scene, has been out of print for more than 20 years! So we thought it would be a perfect record to reissue as part of our Bomp! reissue series.

The Primates were formed in 1984 and cut their teeth at L.A. spots such as the Cavern Club, as part of a growing scene of devoted Nuggets/Pebbles fans, fascinated with 1960s garage punk classics.

The core of the band were Brett Miller and Ted Edlefsen, sporting Vox guitars, and Erik Bluhm as front man, with different drummers, mostly Brian Corrigan but then also Eric from Threw the Looking Glass and Gene from The Miracle Workers.

The opener ‘I Ain’t Like You’, ‘Bad Luck’ or the fun cover of Neil Sedaka’s ‘I Go Ape’ reflect the wild, party-driven mood of the entire album, making you wonder how crazy their shows were in the golden era of the L.A. 80s garage scene. Combining originals and versions (check their great take on Q65’s ‘I Got Nightmares’), “We Are The Primates” remains as a wild, raw, party album that every fan of garage music should own.

We are thrilled to reissue this essential ‘80s garage gem as part of a series of releases celebrating Bomp! 50th anniversary. Our issue includes a booklet with liner notes and rare photos and ephemera.
