Gold Award Winners At the Young Musicians Awards

SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST 7.00pm

Prmate State are a young three-piece rock band with bags of energ, strong musicianship and a natural chemistry on stage. Ned (guitar/vocals), Theo (bass) and Tym (drum/keys) came together through school,habing previously played alongside each other in various musical settings and have already picked up a Gold Award at the Young Musicians Awards.

Their set spans everything from Arctic Monkeys, Jimi Hendrix and Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Beatles and The Kinks. Ned brings accomplished guitar playing and a versatile lead vocal. Theo mixes rock bases with influences from funk, jazz and slap, while Tym drives the band on drums as well as being a highly skilled pianist and keyboard player.

They’re not afraid to put their own spin on a song, either adding different arrangements, individual flourishes and the occasional bit of improvisation, whilst also being able to strip things back for acoustic sets.

Still only a few gigs into their journey they’re already writing their own material and developing quickly. Young, talented and clearly having a great time playing together, Primate State are a band worth keeping an eye on.
