Green River Festival 2010 ..Trust me: You’re a Primate Fiasco fan. You just don’t know it yet. |
A Bustle in Your Hedgerow - Valley Advocate Read Mark Rossler's entire article at the Advocate's web version "..The Fiasco's strategy was both bold and cunning. Rather than trying to emulate Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's masterpiece with a reverent forgery, they toppled it to the ground and picked up the pieces they liked best. While their own formidable talents as musicians anchored the homage, they also relied heavily on guest performers from local bands, and much of the night was a tight collaboration between the band and its exuberant fans..." |
MONKEY BUSINESS - Valley Advocate Kendra Thurlow explores the ideas behind BLOW UP NORTHAMPTON, The Free Primate Fiasco Shows scheduled to come. Read the web version "Dave is one of the community's recent arrivals and he's already become a big cultural catalyst," said Northampton Arts Council member and Iron Horse Entertainment Group Marketing Director Jim Neill. "He doesn't let rules thwart his missions. The dude abides, but does Jedi mind tricks within the rules. He makes things happen. He puts them in motion and people fall into his slipstream... .[DelloRusso] is an ideal candidate for an NAC grant & supporting this project and Dave in general is like giving a power pellet to Pac Man or something. He's going to do some serious chomping." |
Reinterpreting
'Sgt. Pepper.' "The album is an adventurous approach that confounds musical expectations, not unlike that of Northampton's Primate Fiasco, whose audacious plan to interpret the Beatles' seminal opus tomorrow night at The Iron Horse is as wild an idea as it is a compelling one." |

Valley Advocate "Many a tribute effort falls far short of the original. But if anyone can walk this particular tightrope successfully, it is the Valley's finest sonic antidote to feeling low." |

| Primate Fiasco. It's so great to watch this fabulously fun Dixieland pop extravaganza play on the street in Northampton (with hula-hooper in tow) that you can't find parking anymore. Why do they have to be so entertaining? |

Wednesday, March 21st 2007 Monte
Belmonte, radio personality for 93.9
THE RIVER, camped out on the lawn of the courthouse
in Downtown Northamton in order to raise his goal
of $5,000 for The Cancer Connection. The Cancer
Connection is a local organization that helps
people cope with cancer. Monte asked The Primate
Fiasco to do our thing just like we normally do
on Main St. But this time we would be collecting
money instead of just playing for the heck of
it. Megan
E Lebonte (Hoop Master Sass) joined in with
the famous hoola hoops. It was way too cold for
our instruments. Nothing was in tune. Fingers
were flying off of hands. But whatever. We were
still helping. People were stopping by and calling
the radio station to give money the whole time. |
Channel 22 News caught us playing on the street.
ESPN coverage of our performance at the ASU LSU game (comming soon). ASU considered it's Sun Devil Stadium to be LSU's home field for the day while LSU's home field was under water. All ticket sales went to hurricane releif efforts. The Primate Fiasco was calle din to create a New Orleans environment for LASU and the hurricane displaced Luisiana citizens residing in Arizona.
