This weekend, the Daily Record published an interview with Primal Scream's new bassist Simone Butler (Butler replaced Mani, who left to rejoin the reunited Stone Roses). In the report there's a short mention of Butler beating out ex-New Order bassist Peter Hook for the job. The article is available to read here. Hooky, of course, is a legend and doing just fine on his own. Don't miss him live when he tours North America this fall (Detroit show is September 11th at the Magic Bag and the full tour itinerary is posted here).
Meanwhile, Primal Scream unleashed the latest video from More Light today. Can't say it's the most exciting or visually stimulating video (it's basically Bobby Gillespie driving around) but the song is one of the best tracks from the critically acclaimed album. Check out "Invisible City" below:
Primal Scream are playing shows in Europe over the next few months in support of More Light. So far, no U.S. dates have been announced.
