Primitive Calculators - Primitive Calculators (CD 2004)

Alongside Ollie Olsen’s band Whirlywirld, Primitive Calculators were leading lights
of the so-called Melbourne’s ‘Little Band’ movement of the late 1970’s. The ‘Little
Bands’ concept was based around the premise that anyone could get up on stage and
perform for 15 minutes. Primitive Calculators delivered a raw, savage, kinetic sound
that could only be compared with the New York No Wave (which encompassed the
likes of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and James Chance and the Contortions). The
band built up a strong inner-city following and issued one independent single in 1979,
‘Do That Dance’ / ‘I Can’t Stop It’. The Calculators had their final performance at the Seaview Hotel in early1980, the night before Denise left for Europe. In early 1986, Primitive Calculators reassembled to record two tracks with producer/musical director Ollie Olsen, for the soundtrack to Richard Lowenstein’s feature film Dogs in Space
