Hailing from Sydney’s Southern Beaches, Future Primitive is bringing something fresh to Sydney’s music melting pot. Diverse, original and intense, this outfit creates a sound that blends roots, blues, hard rock and electronic pop.
Formed in 2004 whilst experiencing changing band members and a new direction in sound, the band has experienced encouraging success, touring with well known acts, playing festivals and gaining airplay on Triple J and FBI Radio.
In late 2005 Future Primitive finished their self-titled debut EP co-produced by Anton Hagop (Silverchair, Powderfinger, Missy Higgins). Suggestive of the electricity produced whenever Future Primitive play, the self-titled EP is but a taste of what happens when this 5 piece hits the stage. From Paul Murphy’s mix of wailing lap slide, to Tim Shakespeares throbbing bass lines, to Dave Copland’s soaring guitar riffs, to Matt Foster’s solid percussion and Ian Lennon’s funky upbeat samples, Future Primitive is an aural rollercoaster, delivering fresh sounds with unerring consistency.
Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.
