LONDON— Primal Scream announced Tuesday they would perform their seminal 2000 album, Xtrmntr, in its entirety on a forthcoming UK tour. The band will play the record’s 14 tracks, a potent mix of psychedelic rock and dance beats, at select venues in September. This momentous occasion marks 24 years since the album’s release. Many fans were surprised by the announcement, as Xtrmntr is widely considered to be one of the band’s most ambitious works. The Primal Scream tour is expected to draw large crowds.
The Album That Launched A Thousand Hugs
Sources close to the band suggested the decision came after a recent band meeting. “Bobby was just staring at a calendar,” said Agnes Periwinkle, Primal Scream’s official ‘Vibe Curator’. “He pointed at September and said, ‘That one’s got a zero in it. Let’s play Xtrmntr.’ Nobody questioned it.” The album, known for its raw energy and political undertones, remains a touchstone for many. Playing Xtrmntr live is a significant undertaking.
Xtrmntr was released in April 2000 to critical acclaim. It featured singles like ‘Swastika Eyes’ and ‘Kill All Hippies’. The album captured a particular moment in time. Primal Scream’s decision to tour Xtrmntr has been met with enthusiasm by their dedicated fanbase. Many are eager to relive the album’s impact.
A Celebration Of Sorts
Fans are already speculating about the setlist. Will they play the album backwards? Will they replace the synthesizers with bagpipes? Only time will tell. “We’re just happy to be celebrating Xtrmntr,” stated Bartholomew Quibble, President of the International Primal Scream Fan Club. “It’s an album that truly spoke to us. Or at least, it shouted at us. Very loudly.” The band’s commitment to playing Xtrmntr live is unwavering. The Primal Scream tour promises a unique experience.
The tour dates were released shortly after the announcement. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly. This marks a significant moment for the band and their listeners. The legacy of Xtrmntr continues to resonate. Primal Scream’s upcoming shows are highly anticipated.
At press time, guitarist Andrew Innes was reportedly seen trying to remember where he put his guitar from the Xtrmntr era.
