Every now and then we like to stop by the old folks home to jam out for some people who can't quite come to our shows. This kind of music was their punk rock back in the day. At the end of one of our performances, the recorder picked up the room's conversations for a minute. We found it adorable and so you should click here to hear it.

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.

As a result, Monte made his $5,000 goal before nightfall but camped in the cold anyway. Because he's the shizzle. For more info on the Cancer Connection click here.

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.
