Melbourne synth-punk icons launch their first ever studio album in their 35 year history.

35 years after they first crawled out of dark, suburban Springvale to spew their synth-punk filth over Melbourne and beyond, Primitive Calculators have made their first ever studio album, aptly entitled The World Is Fucked. 

Bleaker, harsher and more desperately hilarious than ever, Primitive Calculators have created the ultimate aural statement of ageing, despair and futility. The World Is Fucked pulls no punches across its nine one-word songs. The sound is a kind of shimmering ball of white noise and malice, a floating miasma filled with all the bile most people never let emerge from their subconscious. Surprisingly, it's really fun to listen to!

For this special occasion, Primitive Calculators are revisiting the legendary Little Bands idea that they created in the late 70s, asking a bunch of friends and fellow artists to form one-off little bands to play a series of 15 minute sets before Primitive Calculators take the stage. Expect the unexpected!
