The Primate Fiasco will be armed with the usual Tuba, Banjo, Trumpet, Clarinet, and Drums. But this time, they'll also have "a little help from their friends". Singers and instrumentalists from around the valley will jump in as needed. Among them, Violinist, Eric Lee will perform on the song "within you without you" and pianist, Drake Descant will play accordion on "Mr Kite". Several vocalists will also join in as the night progresses.

This performance is no replica of the original. The audience will not hear anything resembling the Beatles. What they'll get is the classic album stripped down and dressed up in the styles that The Primate Fiasco finds fitting for each song individually. One might expect to hear reggae, funk, blues, and of course Traditional New Orleans Jazz.

The Primate Fiasco has always been on the task of deconstructing classics such as Pink Floyd's "The Wall" which was boiled down to a 15 minute medley in last summers Transperformance show at the Pines Theater.

The Primate Fiasco had their first show at the Iron Horse a year ago. It was also their first feature show here in the Northeast. In their first year of Northampton residency, they've sold out the Iron Horse twice, headlined at the Taste of Amherst, crashed festivals such as Green River and Falcon Ridge, appeared at The Calvin Theater, Pines Theater, Academy of Music, and even hosted their own Circus at Pearl St. But most people would recognize them as the folks throwing a sidewalk party on any random sunny day in Northampton.

While the Sgt Pepper project is not their largest show, it may be their most ambitious to date. And with a theme like this, it makes a great Valentine Day (or anti-valentines day) event.
