Primate headline the Drunken Unicorn on FRIDAY THE 13th!

Celebrate Friday the 13th of May 2011 with Primate at the Drunken Unicorn.



Just think raw, hardcore brutality. The overall sound comes from five guys with five different backgrounds melding it all together into a single focused beam of chaos. Kevin brings years of grind and punk into the mix from his Brutal Truth and Venomous Concept projects, but adds a little taste of the south coming from his Atlanta roots. Add to that a little of Billy K's technical brilliance from his years in Mastodon and before that Lethargy, along with a solid punk background and you get complex harmonies on top of brutal riffage. Evan throws in some rock 'n' roll meat and potatoes to thicken up the sound. Dave pulls out a couple decades of hardcore punk thunder and a solid grindcore base coming from his background of solidifying Atlanta punk and hardcore bands Timebomb77, The Despised and grindcore legends Otophobia. Then tying it all together is drummer Shayne who hails from a couple decades of hardcore punk roots playing with and writing for Atlanta's The Despised, Bloody Sods and playing with NYC's Virulent Strain.
The writing is done by everyone in the band so everyone's styles are interjected to create a solid blend of "stoner grind meets Swedish/Japanese hardcore..."

The vision:
Kicking ass and flighting poo....

Don't think that because of who's in the band we're going to sound just like any one of our other bands. Sure, there are elements of Mastodon, Brutal Truth, Venomous Concept, The Despised, Otophobia and others in our writing, but this band is a unique creation completely separate from any of those bands. The whole reason we started this band was to do something different and new. If you want to hear one of our other bands that's great, buy that band's album. If you want to hear what happens when a bunch of monkeys start playing brutal hardcore/punk with stoner metal and grindcore parts listen to PRIMATE! You won't be disappointed!

Javelina are the second performer of the evening.



“Javelina take what’s best about acts like Black Cobra (the intensity) and High on Fire (the riffs) and put them together to create one of the most pissed off approaches in the heavy underground today. "Beasts Among Sheep" is like a parade honoring Freud’s death instinct...”
— JJ Kozan, Stonerrock.com

Sons Of Tonatiuh start the mayhem.



"There's something about the South that brings out the darkness and deep-seeded, unrelenting rage. Bands like Goatwhore, Soilent Green, Sourvein, Rwake, Weedeater, Dark Castle, Zoroaster, and countless others have proved that for every sunny Taylor Swift wannabe, there is an equal and opposing force.

Atlanta's Sons of Tonatiuh (that's "Tahn-a-tee-ah") specialize in the same crusty doom & gloom punk stylings that made Southern favorite sons Eyehategod & Buzzov*en so frightening/awe-inspiring. A merciless onslaught of down-tuned misanthropic riffs pepper the band's sludgy and powerful new self-titled debut out now on Hydro-Phonic Records. Check out "Adam & Evil" available for stream below for more proof of the madness that lurks behind the eyes of these current/past members of Leechmilk (members of which went on to join Withered), Fell A Victim, Noble Rust and Whiskey Shit Vomit." - Brooklyn Vegan
