The Primitives
Tuesday 25 November 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£22.50 adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

The Primitives emerged from the UK independent music scene of the mid-1980s with a sound that distilled the shimmering guitar chime of The Byrds, the buzzsaw style of The Ramones and 60’s girl group melodies into two-and-a-half-minute pop gems.

After topping the indie singles chart several times, their widely acclaimed first album, Lovely, made them one of the UK’s most revered alternative rock acts, while the international success of the single “Crash” saw them cross over to a mass audience. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio albums, Pure and Galore, plus extensive tours of Europe and the US, before the band called it a day in 1992.

In 2008, Mojo Magazine named The Primitives’ second single “Really Stupid” one of the top 40 greatest UK indie singles of all time.

The band were reunited in 2009 by the untimely passing of their original bass player Steve Dullaghan, reforming to play a show in his memory later that year in their hometown Coventry; their first time on stage together for 17 years.

Bolstered by the success of this and of a secret show in London, they went on to tour the UK in April 2010, followed by shows in the US and Europe.

In 2011 The Primitives released the Never Kill A Secret EP through Fortuna Pop! The record featured two brand new songs and two covers of female fronted pop obscurities, the latter two being a taster for the covers album Echoes and Rhymes, released on Elefant records in 2012.

An album of new original Primitives songs entitled Spin-O-Rama was released in 2014 and was showered with lavish praise; the general opinion being that it sounded like an alternative follow-up to their classic 1988 debut album Lovely.

In 2025 Elefant Records put out the double vinyl collection Let’s Go Round Again – Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011 – 2025, featuring new material along with all of the A sides, B sides and other miscellaneous tracks that the band have released over the past 14 years.

Since reforming The Primitives have toured the UK multiple times, performed all around Europe and paid several visits to the US and Japan.

The current line-up of the band includes original members Tracy Tracy (vocals), Paul Court (guitar/vocals) and Tig Williams (drums)

The Return of Glue Trip

Glue Trip is a musical project led by Brazilian musician Lucas Santa Cruz. Formed in 2013 as an experimental recording project, it was quickly invited to perform live for the first time at the Prata da Casa project (SESC Pompeia).

With three albums released and viral hits like “Elbow Pain” (17 million views on Youtube) and “La Edad del Futuro”; Glue Trip has become a reference for contemporary Brazilian psychedelic music in Brazil and around the world.

Showing maturity with their album “Nada Tropical”; released in July 2022, the band has been solidifying their career for a decade, increasingly incorporating their Brazilian roots into their compositions. Produced by Zé Nigro, this album features collaborations with great names in Brazilian music, including maestro Arthur Verocai, São Paulo singer YMA, and musicians Otto and Felipe S from Pernambuco.

With several international tours under their belt, including sold-out shows in London and Paris on their last tour, Glue Trip is building a-solid background and a steady rise. They stand out as one of the most interesting and innovative musical projects of today.

Hongza: Weaving in ethereal soundscapes that transcend melodies as a portal to a sonic dimension where your very soul can set adrift, stands dream-pop rising star, Hongza. His EP ‘Coming of Age, produced by Larry Hibbit (Nothing But Thieves, Sea Girls, Sundara Karma) received support from Rolling Stone, NME, Wonderland (Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 show), X-Posure (Radio X), Fresh Finds Rock (Spotify), New In Alternative, New In Rock (Apple Music) and Live Nation’s Ones To Watch. He was named one of Glastonbury’s longlisted Emerging Artists. Hongza’s electrifying live shows have propelled him to play with notable acts such as The Cribs, Bad Nerves, and The Clockworks. His presence has also lit up prestigious festivals like The Great Escape and Wild Paths, and at legendary venues like the Roundhouse

A five-piece built to move you. Shanghai Hostage blends rock, funk, jazz, reggae and more into a genre-defying, body-shaking, lyric-laced experience.
