ABOUT
Responsible for some of the most cutting edge and original rock music of the 1990’s, singer/bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Tim Alexander – are back together and planning on getting the worldwide masses bobbing up and down in unison once more.
Originally formed in 1984, Primus joined a variety of underground bands that refused to be pigeonholed, merging metal, funk, alternative, punk, country, roots rock, and experimental music. The band built a large and loyal following in San Francisco before eventually, going global and have toured with some of rock’s biggest names (Jane’s Addiction, Public Enemy, Rush, U2, etc.), and headlined the third-ever Lollapalooza Festival.
Alexander exited the band in 1996, but returned in 2003, in time for an EP/DVD set, ‘Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People,’ and a sold out reunion tour, that lasted over the next few years, before the drummer departed once more. But as Claypool got to work on putting together a forthcoming book about the band’s history, Les began longing for the days of when Alexander’s unmistakable and powerful drumming provided the beat. A phone call was placed, a conversation ensued, and before you could say, “Here come the bastards,” the Claypool-LaLonde-Alexander line-up was back in business. Plans to tour the world over and offering up new music are already in place. Be forewarned…here they come!
