Primitive Lyrics (aka "PL") is a hip hop crew, founded 1991 in Zürich, Switzerland. The group was one of the first Swiss dialect hip hop crews. Primitive Lyrics combined live rock music (drums, bass, guitar, saxophone) together with a DJ and two rappers.
After their first maxi single 'Tescht', they released their first album Halbi Nüni Chlorzicht in 1994. Primitive Lyrics' main domain was live concerts, so they toured through Switzerland and Germany. In 1995 PL released a second maxi single and in 1997 their second album called PLAG, meaning 'plague' in Swiss German. The second meaning is PL AG (Aktiengesellschaft) which translates into Primitive Lyrics Ltd.
The band dissolved in Autumn 1997 after the PLAG-Tour. On 8 September 2001 they gave a one-time 'reunion' concert in Seebach, Zurich which happened open-air under heavy rain.
In 2003, Jet Domani and Redl founded Radio 200000 together with Sgoing Erlöst and Krasseranz.

Famous quotes containing the words primitive and/or lyrics:
“Cannibalism to a certain moderate extent is practised among several of the primitive tribes in the Pacific, but it is upon the bodies of slain enemies alone; and horrible and fearful as the custom is, immeasurably as it is to be abhorred and condemned, still I assert that those who indulge in it are in other respects humane and virtuous.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
