4 apes, 3 chords, 1 organ, a 4/4 beat and 24 beers. That's THE PRIMATE 5. Brian, Jim, Jamie, and Ward ain't no fancy lads. They're apes. Damn dirty apes. Sure, they may be cute furry creatures but don't make them angry, they'll turn on you in the blink of an eye, but that's rock n roll, RIGHT? ARE YOU READY FOR THE APE INVASION?
How can you not like a band that wears monkey masks on stage? The Primate 5 hit the Seattle, WA scene like a tsunami, of garage/surf sounds assaulting the audience with wave after wave of hits. Belting out one song after another while donning the schtick that made them famous, ape masks. Four apes who know how to play insruments and speak english. Watch out Charlton Heston your new masters are here.
They were originally named The Primates till their first show were it was pointed out that there was already a band named The Primates. So, quickly they changed the 's' to a 5 on their flyer and became the world reknown, The Primate 5. Wait, you say, there is a flaw. That's absolutely correct there are only 4 members in the band. "Thats the beauty," quoted Jim, "the fifth primate could be anyone, a friend, a person at the show who buys beer..."
