This is why the following things have been said about Greg Thuman:

"He's an amazingly accomplished musician who moves effortlessly between styles, but always sounding like himself. Greg is a talent to keep and eye on. He's one for the Ages."
Jerry Jodice, Host, The Great American Music Hour

"Raw. Emotional. Honest. Infectious. Four words that come to mind whenever Greg Thuman graces my headphones. Greg pours everything he has into his music....I have countless playlists loaded into my library and there is a Greg Thuman song on just about every one...."
Tim Poggioli, Co-host, Insomnia Radio Baltimore

Greg and HouFei are life-long musicians, uniting two very different cultures. Greg Thuman (pronounced Too-man) has been steadily working on the creation of a new band. With a strong personality and music to match, his modern, exciting songs and guitar work are winning Primal Static fans worldwide. Greg became impassioned as a child by Rock and Blues and picked up the guitar which allowed his songwriting to soar. He draws his inspiration from many great musicians from Robert Johnson to Django Reinhardt. The passion and edge in his musicianship reflects the various worlds he inhabits, from traveling troubadour to isolated composer. HouFei once said: âwhen 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 couldnât even speak when the beep sounded. That was my introduction of Greg Thuman the musician.â

HouFei Yang, born and raised in China, started playing piano at 4. HouFeiâs 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 MD. Though trained as a classical musician, HouFei finds the freedom of Primal Static to be her true home. âThe band is very strong and the material is great. The songs are Gregâs and all are new. It was really magic from the beginning.â

From a highly successful tour all over the Baltimore/DC Metro area in 2006 to playing from the Mississippi Delta to New Orleans and all points in between in 2007. Playing up to three hour shows when audienceâs deafeningly encored the band. Primal Static recorded this three track demo in November, 2007 â simply titled â3â. It reflects the power of Primal Static: Commitment and a great deal of drama and excitement. From the trance blues of âBurning soulâ to the narcotic âEmpty Moonâ the set ends with the stomping âA Little Pain.â
