Mr Percival laid the following info on we and it sounds like something you should be makin' an effort to get to... I just saw The Chesterfield Kings just over a week ago and they brought back some eminent memories. Particularly the show in Berlin 1988 where they went "glam" and broke the hearts of the purists. Now they do The Rolling Stones better than Jagger and Co could ever expect to do and most importantly they deliver the rock (and roll) that is seemingly extinct these days in spades.
Three days of wild twisted city rock & teenage kicks!
JULY 1-2-3 SUMMER 2004. WaterFront, Rotterdam
The time has come that a long cherished juvenile dream will come true. The first Dutch International Garage Festival is in the works and is aptly named Primitive! Rotterdam’s infamous rock venue WaterFront, which has a very credible reputation concerning its involvement with elementary rock ‘n’roll, will present a festival bill featuring everything inbetween the pioneering original raw sixties sounds to the mayhem of nowadays decent garage bands. No lame retro crap, not a boring old farts’ band from the stone age, and no dull bandwagon jumpers of the so-called new garage groups. The garage music, as originated in the mid sixties, is celebrating its third major revival these days and Primitive! is all about the raw, pure exciting sound driven by teenage energy and a never ending search for the kicks in life.
Primitive! will be a wild garage punk blow out; three days of the best bands and deejays available. On the bill are amongst others: The Remains, a legendary group responsible for great godlike classics, they toured the States with The Beatles and are still worshipped by fans of sixties music all over the world. The Chesterfield Kings, the absolute rulers of the early eighties garage-revival, The Buff Medwayswith renaissance man Billy Childish, The Solarflares, who came from the ashes of The Prisoners. Also on the bill are new comers Thee Exciters from Southampton, local trash blues duo The Low Point Drains, Dutch surf & garage veterans The Firebirds, The Satelliters orthodox sixties punk from Germany, Spanish party band Dr. Explosion and Dutch garage-beat purveyors The Nederbietels. All this and The Von Bondies from Detroit and many, many more.
As if this is not enough to blow you out off your socks, the promotors of Primitive! have booked the hottest deejays to keep the dancefloor boiling: Tim Warren(U.S.A., Crypt Records), Ritchie Screaming Apple & Lutz Soundflat (Germany), Dirk Dutronic (Belgium), Jorge Explosion (Spain), Michel Da Capo, Roccalberti, Señor Alberto, Jan & Jan Prime Time and Dandy Dave (Holland) to name but only a few.
To keep people off the streets, WaterFront also has organised a movie program in cooperation with WORMbeeld. A once in a lifetime chance to see cult-movie classics from the last four decades on the big screen. And there is more to meet the eye: around the time of the festival, Showroom Mama runs an exhibition featuring custom art, record sleeves and concert poster design and the phenomenal world of fanzines from all over the globe.
