The band will performing a collection of their favourite songs by The Troggs, MC5, Creation, Thr Flamin’ Groovies and The Chocolate Watch Band for the bash.

I want to be there!!! I demand full youtube coverage!

“We’re great and we can’t wait,” declared frontman Bobby Gillespie.

Festival director Sean McLusky added: “We did a show at the Whitechapel Gallery with S.C.U.M and a bunch of other artists, Bobby was playing and rocked ‘Wild Thing’ by The Troggs with Jamie Hince from The Kills, so I asked him if he would do more of the same at the festival, so now we have….The Silver Machine.”

Holy SHIT, y’all, fly me to England for my birthday this year because Primal Scream are going to be playing SCREAMADELICA in its entirety at the London Olympia on November 27th. Why can’t I be there? This is my favorite one-woman bedroom dance party record. I wish I could be there. DAMN!

We here at NRBW have the biggest love-hate relationship with Mr. Alan McGee. He types EVERYTHING IN CAPS LOCK SO IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE HE’S YELLING AT US and he de-tagged himself from a picture of us on Facebook. Totally rude. BUT, as one of the founders of Creation Records he did help give rise to some of the best bands in the world and for that I am eternally grateful.

From Mojo: “The documentary has been put together by Document – the production company run by Danny O’Connor and Steve Lamacq – and will feature the likes of Noel Gallagher, Bobby Gillespie and, of course, McGee himself.

“It’s the story of the times,” says McGee. “Where it went right and where it went wrong. I expect it to last two days in the cinema and then do 500,000 DVDs!”
