Primal Scream are a British rock band originally formed in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beattie in 1982. Primal Scream's lineup consists of:
Gillespie
Andrew Innes (guitar)
Martin Duffy (keyboards)
Simone Butler (bass)
Darrin Mooney (drums).
Barrie Cadogan has toured and recorded with the band since 2006 as a replacement after the departure of guitarist Robert Young.
The band had been performing live betweem 1982 and 1984, but their career did not take off until Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Primal Scream were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound with their 1991 album Screamadelica, which broke them into the mainstream. Their latest album Chaosmosis was released on 18 March 2016.
