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 was 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.
