Bio:
Primal Static is a two-piece indie rock band whose music seduces with the soulful essence of blues, and fearlessly rocks with trance rhythms and beats. In this way, "old" traditions are welded together into a new entirety.

Bio (Continued):
The band's Composer/Singer/Guitarist, Greg Thuman (pronounced "too-man"), sings and plays without reservation, dripping with raw emotion. His exquisitely thought provoking lyrics are second to none. Keyboardist/Bassist, HouFei Yang, brings up the rhythm section with her elastic soulful bass and wonderful classically trained keyboard playing.
HouFei once said: "When I met Greg, he was like a furious wild fire that lit up life and music for me as I had never known before. I called Greg a couple of days after we met, and got his answering machine. A heart wrenching guitar piece greeted me. Time stood still. I couldn’t even speak when the beep sounded."
HouFei was born and raised in China and started playing piano at four. Her route to Primal Static started when she came to the U.S. at 18 on full scholarship after being heard by an American piano professor giving master classes in Shanghai. Since arriving in the states, she has competed in international piano competitions and won numerous prizes.
HouFei has just finished her Doctoral degree at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Possessing a profound adoration of Greg's music, HouFei has found her true home in Primal Static. The electric energy and freedom reflected in the songs completes her. She now uses her vast knowledge of the keyboard for the music she was made for: “It’s been magic from the beginning.”
Greg and HouFei are life-long musicians, uniting the cultures of the East and West. The band uses innovative trance beats to round out their incredibly unique sound sculpture. Primal Static is the definitive live band, with expert musicianship and a charismatic presence (in a time when this is sadly lacking in music!) The band's live shows have been the backbone of the Primal Static experience, flooring audiences all over the country!
Greg recorded and put out two discs on his own, Primal Static (2005) and The Rites of Shangri-la (2006). Rising In The Bud (2008) was Primal Static's debut and the band has just finished their new album The Curtain of Many Faces (2010).
