CQ: I am tired but doing great. We are in rehearsals right now for some upcoming shows we have. BB: Can you describe Prymary in a few lines? CQ: We are a Progressive Rock/Metal 5 piece group from California, USA. We have been playing together since 2000 and have just released our second album entitled The Tragedy of Innocence. We draw influence from a lot of bands including Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Pain of Salvation, and Fates Warning to name a few. We tend to write music with an emphasis on Musicianship, Melody, and technicality. BB: After 3 years you already played with bands such as Fates Warning and King’s X. How felt that? CQ: All of these shows were great experiences. The King’s X show stands out as one of our greatest shows. The crowd was so energetic and we seemed to play really well. King’s X put on a great show and were a pleasure to watch. Playing with Fates Warning was great but the venue we played in was not so great. It was a small little hall with only about 40 to 50 people there. The sound and stage setup left a lot to be desired as well. Still, it was a great pleasure and honor to play with Fates Warning as they are a definite influence on the band. BB: April 2005… The first European gig (AND it was in Holland!) Is there a great difference between American and European audience? CQ: I would say there is a difference between the European crowds versus the American crowds in the broad sense. A lot of the European crowds seem more willing to get into the music and seem a bit more open minded where as the American crowds can be more reserved. I am speaking in general terms here as there are some American fans who get deeply into the music but for the most part, they can be tough. We do seem to win over the American crowds in the end. It was great to see our European fans though as we were not sure of what kind of reception we would get. But they seemed to really like the music and we actually had a couple of die-hard fans who have been with us since the beginning. To see and meet people who live on the other side of the planet and are so enthralled with your music was really such an absolute pleasure. We hope to make it back soon as we would love to play there even more.
