Update: band is now saying via Twitter that they have NOT confirmed new bass player. Stay tuned...
Mani has now officially left Primal Scream to resume bass duties with the reformed Stone Roses. He played his last show with Primal Scream last weekend in Scotland, and Bobby Gillespie told the crowd on New Year's Eve the new bassist for the band will be Damon Minchella. Minchella recently worked as a session player with Amy Winehouse, Paul Weller, and the Who, and previous to that was bass player for Ocean Colour Scene until he got fired after an altercation with his bandmates in 2003.
Check out Minchella playing bass in this video along with Paul Weller, the Gallagher brothers, Steve White (from Weller's band) and Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene).
