Friday 3 September |
PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS Taking a break from preparing to record their first album in 30 years Primitive Calculators will play at Yah Yah’s next Friday 3 September – the only gig the band will play this year. Primitive Calculators describe themselves as “uglier, older, more brutal, more futile, and more worthless than ever." The hugely influential group first formed in the 1970s and spearheaded the little band scene here in Melbourne. A decade later Primitive Calculators were featured in cult film Dogs in Space, and thirty years on they are more relevant than ever. Primitive Calculators are bravely supported on this occasion by the Paul Kidney Experience, a seven piece coagulation of local legends such as The Stabs and Baseball, as well as a rare coupling of Adam Simmons (sax) & Brian O'Dwyer (percussion) with 60s legend of free jazz and unstoppable saxophonical force Kris Wanders (Global Unity Orchestra). doors 9.00pm Late:
