NEW PRIMITIVES ON LFS5

Live From Studio 5!  has had an amazing run of wonderful talent come through the studio.

From brand new bands,   barely out of the wrapper, to established groups ready to break on to the national scene.

Sometimes surprises come your way, like finding treasure you did not know was there.

One such treasure is NEW PRIMITIVES, with Stanley Kipper starting things off on drums, and keeping us going on vocals.

Chico Perez grooving the merengue rhythms and adding his voice to the mix.

Chico also had an array of sound making devices, shaky things bells, and sound makers that just gave me shivers, in a good way.

Snowman Powers grabbed us with his sax and vocal harmonies

Man,   can that cat blow.

Bruce Jackson stepped it up on keyboards, accordion and vocals.

The musical voices coming out of the keyboard had me thinking they brought an orchestra.

We sadly missed out on Joseph Lightnin Peterson with the Hammond b3 {Doug’s favorite organ}

Rounding out the sound, solid bass work from Jesse Kiel

That bumping bass set the grove that only ended when the show was over.

New Primitives has been around since 1999 and deserves homage from us lesser beings.

Check them out everywhere, on Facebook, newprimitives.com, Reverb nation , fan em like em  if you want to have a great time invite em to your party, can’t afford that, buy their music and spin it

Our tiny studio was crammed to the rafters with people, extra host, 4 videographers, 1 photographer, M J Gilmore and of course the band.

It is a difficult thing to bring live energy to a studio setting; New Primitives accomplished it with ease.

Doug the Thug and M J were dancing, and I was told to shut up so we could hear more music.

I was happy to comply, and wished we had another couple of hours to enjoy New Primitives

Check out their latest gigs and go see them, one easy way is to go to  Nye's Bar - 112 East Hennepin Ave, Mpls.  every Thursday.

Oh and they have a new C D American Nomad, a must have for any music library.

Their performance can still be heard at kfai.org/livefromstudio5
