Primer 55 are back, baby. After announcing their reunion in June, the band from Memphis is gearing up to play their first shows in 10 years with their upcoming set of dates in October celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Introduction to Mayhem. Originally, only seven dates had been announced with a tease for more shows TBA in the future:
10/09 Lincoln, NE @ Bourbon Theater

10/14 Houston, TX @ Scout Bar
10/15 Austin, TX @ Come and Take it Live
10/16 Dallas, TX @ Club Dada
Well now, those dates have been revealed. Primer 55 continue the celebration of Introduction to Mayhem with an almost month-long tour featuring Smile Empty Soul and Lines of Loyalty just a couple of weeks after the last date of their anniversary tour.
Those dates are as follows:
10/30 West Dundee, IL @ Rookies Rochaus (SES ONLY)
11/01 Flint, MI @ The Machine Shop

These shows will not only be a tribute to the killer debut album from the group that helped to put them on the map, but also to late vocalist Jason "J-Sin" Luttrell, who was the voice of their only two studio albums. He passed away on August 10, 2018 after a long battle with Hepatitis C. Taking up the mantle of frontman is Donny "The DRP" Polinske, who assumed the position once before during the band's reunion from 2008-2010.
