News Archives - 1998Dec 26, 1998Gillespie teams up with New OrderPrimal Scream's BOBBY GILLESPIE has teamed up WIth NEW ORDER to sing backing vocals for the band's forthcoming Peel session. New Order recorded 'True Faith', 'Isolation', 'Atmosphere' and 'Touched By The Hand Of God' last week for Peel's Radio 1 show, which will be broadcast on December30 at 10pm. A spokeswoman for New Order said Gillespie, a long-time friend of New Order's lead singer Bernard Sumner, had sung on two tracks. She continued: "It was a totally unplanned thing. Bobby just turned up at the studio with Innes (Primal Scream guitarist) pissed at 5am and they just did it. New Order are really pleased with the session." Originally appeared at the NME in the 19/26 December 1998 issue. Copyright © IPC 1998 Nov 16, 1998Insect RoyaltyPrimal Scream's "Insect Royalty" song is featured in the Irvine Welsh film "The Acid House." The soundtrack was released on Monday, November 9th in the UK. It's apparently an instrumental version unlike the versions they've been playing live, which features Bob's vocals. Sept 16, 1998Mani Leaving?According to an Ian Brown article in yesterday's (16 August 1998) 'Independent on Sunday' newspaper, Mani may be leaving the Scream. It didn't give a lot away though, simply reading "For the real Stone Roses fan, Mani (now with Primal Scream but possibly leaving).... [Thanks, Darren] July 23, 1998Bobby vs. The JAMCBobby dueted with The Mary Chain on "Sometimes Always" at the recent Meltdown Festival. [thanks chris p] Bobby was spotted in the audience Monday June 15 at the Jesus and Mary Chain show in San Francisco in case you didn't know already.[thanks angela] Primes playing the US Phoenix Festival??? Apparently the Phoenix Festival, which got cancelled in the UK, may come to New York, in September. And Primal Scream's named was mentioned as one of the bands. This one heard on a Detroit Radio station by a new recruit. So I'm not sure if this means a US tour or not. Keep your fingers crossed. That Primal Scream Biography thing again I forgot to mention. It's called Primal Scream - An Illustrated Biography by Stuart Coles (Omnibus Press). It's 9" x 11 1/2" in size. 64 pages. Lots of nice Pics. It "appears" as though he used many articles on Webadelica as resource material :) he "definatley" got the discography which appears in it from Webadelica, mistakes and all :] A credit would have been nice though! Well anyways i think both this book and the Higher than the Sun book list US distributors so fans in the US can find it at a Barnes and Noble , Border's and others can get them. I'm sure HMV in the UK has both too. Bob Speaks! I found this Australian multimedia cd-rom magazine in Barnes and Noble and it has a Primal Scream feature where you walk towards these pictures of Primal Scream on the wall in this 3-d environment and as you walk up to the picture, questions appear on the wall and you click on them and Bob answers it. (i just had to buy it didn't i?) they ask Bob like 10 questions i guess. kinda interesting i suppose. i want to put this up on webadelica if i can figure out how to access the hidden sound files. On yeah it's called Undercover -rock on multimedia, issue 8. It should be available in Australia (du'h), US and the UK. Check out their website July 19, 1998Primal Scream are apparently holed up in the studio with Brendan Lynch right now recording new material which will probably appear as B-sides. Click here for more details.[Thanks Eric for this info] July 25, 1998Angela tells me that she saw Bobby on Monday June 15 at the Jesus and Marychain show in SF. I wonder if my Sub Pop theory is right? (see below)Creamadelica Primal Scream played Creamfields on May 2nd. Here's a report from Public NME 16 May 1998. And finally, the year's first festival was tragically turned from a happy-happy-joy-joy event drawing together one nation under THE BLOKE FROM LES RYTHMES DIGITALES' luminous red hairdo (a shade so bright that no-one realised the sun had set until 2am) into a heartless fish massacre. Apparently, PRIMAL SCREAM were running around the backstage area of Creamfields playing with some fun new catapults and steel ball bearings that they'd been given by a fan when they spotted a large tank full of tropical fish in one of the hospitality tents. They immediately set about seeing who could catapult the most fish, forgetting that glass, being quite brittle stuff, tends to smash when peppered with large chunks of metal at high speeds. Cue a stream-full of very expensive fish suddenly being expected to evolve very quickly indeed. Ciao for now... Underworld remixes Primal Scream? *Update* Apparently, previously unreleased Underworld remix of a Primal Scream song apears on a new Junior Boys Own compilation, it's called JBO - A Perspective 1988-1998. The song is "Come Together" and I can't confirm whether it's a underworld remix or the version from "Screamadelica" [Thanks Chris P.] Rod Stewart "Rocks" out Rod Stewart's new album featues a cover of "Rocks". It's called "When we were the Boys" and is out now. Apparently he played it live on The Tonight Show ith Jay Leno here in the US. I missed it though. Someone told me it wasn't that good. Dr. John vs. Primal Scream Dr. John's new album called "Anutha Zone" came out on June 15 and features contributions from Primal Scream. I understand Martin Duffy played Keyboards on some tracks. ADF vs. Primal Scream The Asian Dub Foundation's album RAFI's Revenge on ffrr features the production work of Andrew Innes on several tracks apparently. It's out now. Primal Scream Biography The new Primal Scream illustrated biography is out now. It appears Webadelica may have been an invaluable source of supplying research material for it : ) Though a credit would have been nice! Primal Scream sign to Sub Pop in the US???? Well 2 Creation records bands, The Jesus and Mary Chain and St. Etienne, have signed with Sub Pop Records in the US. So I have agut feeling maybe the Scream will sign with them too.
