The Primates were one of the original post-punk / rock bands to come out of Athens, Georgia in the mid 1980s. Their loud, fast in-your-face hedonistic style is reminiscent of West Coast bands X and The Minutemen, but peppered with a definite influence of traditional country music. The Primates consisted of Eric Sales - bass and vocals, Greg Reece - guitar and vocals, and LH Sales, Jr. - drums and vocals. Before going three-piece, early in the first years The Primates had a second rockabilly style guitarist - Mike Whigham. They at one point served as GG Allin's backing band.
