Got to see them in Albany, NY this past September. Great show! Almost as good as when I saw Les Claypool and his Fancy Band in Tempe, AZ back in 2006.

Yeah, saw them in NYC this past tour and had a great time. First set was really nice and the album in the second set was fun too (although I'd prefer to just have 2 sets of randomness rather than knowing what the next song is going to be). Personally, I think the new album is fantastic and a great return to form after so many years away.

Here's one I didn't expect, Jay Lane's out, and Tim 'Herb' Alexander is back in.

I think it's inevitable that Tim will go again, but potentially the band are hitting the studio again in November, and I'm hoping we get the true spiritual successor to Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People.

Strange times!

Why aren't there more Primus fans around these parts? Figured since they were big around the same time as NIN, they would have more crossover fans. Top 3 bands for me, for sure.
Herb news is pretty interesting indeed, especially the part about a possible new album coming soon.

I'm a Primus fan! I saw them 3 times when i was a teenager. It amazes me how HEAVY they sound live. I like it when they play Eleven.

Definitely one of my most listened to bands but I've been out of the loop for quite some time. Green naugahyde made me dive back but it didn't last long. Don't know what it is, but this band is special and I have to be in the very mood for it. Just like Beck and Ween.

The halucinogenetics DVD is one of my most favorite live DVDs to this day and I'll pop it in every now and then eventhough I don't spin the records that much. Sailing the Seas of Cheese ranks fairly well among my life time albums, though.

Haven't seen them live unfortunately... :(

I highly recommend you do! I've seen them live more than any other band and I will still gladly buy a ticket every single time they come to town, or any other Les project. The man just knows how to entertain a crowd and god damn can he play that 4-stringed piece of furniture of his.

ive seen primus 12x (96-2013), les solo 2x and duo de twang once. all great shows, cant wait to see if they put together another new album with tim. the band has a certain air about itself when he's in the band. i sometimes viewed it as them fucking around a bit less and making more classic 3-piece centered primus.

Primus still has a few shows lined up for September, I wonder who is going to be drumming. I wouldn't think Tim will be back just yet and I'm pretty sure Jay Lane is busy hanging out with Bob Weir. Possibly someone completely new? Possibly Brain? Whoever it may be, I sure am glad I got to see the band with Tim last month since the 5 shows I saw previously were all with Jay, and really, even though Jay is technically the original drummer, Les, Ler, & Tim have always been the quintessential lineup.

Jord
07-22-2014, 01:28 PM
They are supposed to be dropping the Willy Wonka album anytime soon, the tour is all to support that, they'll be doing mixed sets followed by wonka sets. It will be interesting to see what happens, I heard something about november shows but I'm not sure.

I am forever grateful to Jay for being the guy who got Primus back in gear and touring Europe again after so long, but I do pray that sometime in the future they'll come back to the UK with Les, Ler and Tim. You cannot deny the power of this lineup.

I just saw them last month and they didn't play any of the Wonka songs. And I definitely haven't heard anything about them recording the Wonka stuff in the studio. Not calling you a liar, just curious what your source is because if they do record it that would be fucking awesome.

Les has mentioned it in a couple of interviews, there's bits of info over at the primus bull board forum. Word is that they were dropping the wonka album and taking it on the road, it'll be curious to see how they go about it all live without the frog brigade there, although I believe the frog brigade are playing on the album.

I am very much looking forward to this, not as much as a proper original Primus album, but this will be very interesting.

I hope they carry off the momentum of it and dive back in for a full on follow up album. I will always hope for an album in the vein of Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People as that's where Les, Ler & Tim left off in 2003 properly.

Very glad Herb pulled through and is recovering. The guy is powerhouse.

I'm watching a good quality video of the Chocolate Factory set live...and I gotta say, halfway through, not really feeling it. It's not bad, but it feels way more like any of Les' side projects than it does PRIMUS. I hate skerik, and overall the Fungi ensemble takes away from what I like about Primus...Les, Ler, and Tim doing their thing as a three piece.

imail724
08-01-2014, 11:46 PM
I love skerik! But fortunately for you, that was actually the "frog brigade ensemble" on nye, skerik isn't a part of this new "fungi ensemble"

Mr. Blaileen
08-02-2014, 12:32 AM
Thank the gods! I should clarify and mention that I'm a big fan of Les' side projects as well. To me, a lot of what makes Primus special is that it's made up of just three guys doing their thing. It just seems like this is a mash-up of his solo work and Primus.

I'll still give the new album a listen, of course.

Had no idea they were doing an entire album devoted to the music from Willy Wonka. And that they're going to doing a two-set tour that's half Wonka, half hits.

And that one of the dates actually lines up with where I'll be on tour.

So many things to be happy about now.

Awesome, I can see my head in a couple of those shots. Had rail, pretty much right in front of Les for this. Pretty awesome show. Was anyone else there?

The funny thing is that I had a really bad stomach-ache/nausea for the first 5-6 songs, and it was bad enough where I thought I might have to leave my spot and/or the show altogether. As soon as the first Aenima notes were played, I instantly felt better; and it lasted that way for the rest of the set. It was quite bizarre. I came to the conclusion that Tool can cure sickness.

I was at the solo show Saturday. It was great to see Primus again after so many years. It was also great to see Danny out of his element and that he's human after all.
First the good

Decent setlist with a decent mix of songs, it was a little heavy on seas of cheese, but I was ok with that. They also played for about an hour and a half. The jams weren't too long either which was nice. Danny played the songs pretty much verbatim with a little touch of his own style. Danny made a few mistakes here and there but I chalk that up to nerves as it was his first show.

The Bad.
The opening band, whatever their forgettable name was, was just AWFUL. a 3 piece trip hop band was not the way to warm that crowd up. The other shitty part was the opening band didn't even start until 11:10pm. this was hands down the latest show I've ever been too. it didn't get wrapped up until 2:10am
Now Danny's playing was pretty spot on minus forgetting how to end a few songs, but the way his drums were mixed was not flattering. either his toms weren't mic'd, or he was using the overhead mic technique unsuccessfully. Because you couldn't hear a lot of his fills, now they did correct this somewhat after the first few songs, but it still wasn't quite right.

Overall good show, 7/10 for sure.

Literal LOL when I read that, because yes. I'm usually very very nice to openers, but uggh. Not sure where you were in the crowd, but I've never seen/heard so much hate for an opener. It was advertised as "A Night with Primus" (was even on the posters), which I kinda just thought meant it'd be only them for a 90-120 min set.

The show was good. 7 out of 10 is about right, but I'd personally go to 8, just because it was a special night w/ Danny.

Not travelling specifically for Primus, but I'll be seeing them again with Carey in Denver. Anyone else gonna be at Riot Fest there?

I've been huge on Primus for a good few years now, and to be honest after the excitement that hit me when Herb came back, the whole Wonka thing was a bit meh - too much like solo Les as quoted from earlier in the thread, I couldn't agree more about the extra members. As well done as it all is, I just want to see the three of them KILLING IT. I'm praying that the next step they take is to record an album that is the spiritual successor to Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People.

That said, I've had my eye on the tour for a while now and they are passing by my way in Manchester again. I saw them last time and had a blast, but seeing the London setlist the next night left me sour - it was nearly twice as long and with more new stuff in - Still can't complain! I had tickets to all the Royal Albert Hall nights last time they were around and sadly couldn't make it so I've been kicking myself ever since. I was on the fence about going to see them this time around for some reason, but knowing it's the three of them together again especially with Herb, I just snapped some tickets up now. I'm absolutely psyched and prepping myself now with some classic Tour de Fromage.

Pissed about the Bullboard going down - Prawn Song just removed it one day and left it at that. Sucks!

They haven't toured the Wonka album since 2014. Just saw them on Friday with Clutch, they played Candy Man but that's it. Saw them in '15 with Dinosaur Jr. and they played Semi-Wonderous Boat Ride, but again that was it.

Loving everything I've heard so far, but as the album is only gonna be a short one I'm not listening to any more songs that may come out beforehand until it's out. I wanna hear the whole thing as one - it sounds like the album will have continuous flow by the sound of the end of The Scheme. It's nice to hear the 6 string bass again on a Primus track.

There was a clip of 'The Storm' on Facebook and it had that stupid dobro in it, the one thing I could do without in Primus tunes.

Huge Primus fan (see: username), and even I'm shocked at how good this new stuff is. Waiting for Friday to listen to everything, but I've skimmed through most of the stuff and it's great. Green Naugahyde was pretty solid, but after the Wonka stuff, I wasn't sure I'd be on board for what they tried next.

Very pleasantly surprised.

So I got my hands on the new album and WOW, I was blown away at how good it is. Primus has always been a back burner band for me; I enjoy their music, but I wouldn't call myself a 'fan' by any means. I saw them open for TOOL back in 2016 and was amazed at how awesome they sounded live, but again I never went out of my way to listen to them. This year however I had the chance to get my hands on their latest album and I haven't been able to stop playing it. "The Storm" has to be my favorite track so far...that bassline is AWESOME and almost has a TOOL-esq feel to it. Perhaps this is the beginning of my relationship with Primus...we'll see though...

Been listening to this nonstop for several days. It's a damn good album. The Dream melody is hopelessly stuck in my brain. The boys over in TOOL should take note of this as well as recent nin output and be reminded of what it sounds like when folks legit move their ass on quality output.

i could be mistaken but i think Les spends time with who he tours with Geddy from Rush mention this and talking about bass playing including being in the Roll The Bones video, so the just getting off a tour with Tool it's no surprise there is some similarities there.

All My Kin Out 8/31 On Sean Lennon’s Chimera Music

Mysterious Lost 1980s Recording Includes Members Of Primus

LISTEN & SHARE: Beanpole - "Farmer Loved An Onion" (https://tellallyourfriendspr.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=63f1674ecdb2a4574b77e600b&id=69443b8f4a&e=3ffa509bcc)









Rolling Stone has announced Beanpole's unreleased LP and shared the single "Farmer Loved An Onion". The LP, 'All My Kin', which features members of Primus and Spent Poets, will be out 8/31 on Chimera Music.

When speaking about the song, guitarist Larry LaLonde says, "To get the vibe of recording a Beanpole song, you have to place yourself in a secluded farm valley full of mutant hillbillies trying to recreate melodies that were found on a broken record of Disneyland ride music."

As for the album, Chimera Music's Sean Lennon states, "It's a concept album for post-modern America. It chronicles the epic tale of Chicken Boy and his dangerously interrelated family. Years of isolation have resulted in the birth of a child who is part man and part poultry. Despite obvious adoration for their uniquely feathered offspring, having fallen upon hard times they consider the unthinkable: will Chicken Boy be sacrificed to feed his hungry family?" Bassist Les Claypool adds, "If Fellini, Dali, and Captain Kangaroo got together in their teens and ate peyote, this is the album they would have recorded."


All My Kin is the strange and somewhat unbelievable album collecting the music of an artist by the name of Beanpole. “Starving artist” must have been their mode of recording as stories of farming, eating, and disfigured animal-human hybrids course throughout the record. Very little is known about Beanpole, but it is widely recognized by collectors that most of the music originated from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some sources maintain Beanpole is still active, although evidence remains unsubstantiated.

Primus’ Les Claypool claims he attempted to release a decade’s worth of Beanpole recordings on his Prawn Song label in the ‘90s. We’re told that the tracks were delivered to the mastering studio on worn-out cassette tapes and dusty DATs. As legend has it, when Claypool played the mastered tracks to his distributor, the response from company executives was poor. As a result, Claypool was summarily dismissed from his business relationship with the distribution company, effectively ending his label. For nearly 20 years thereafter, the tracks were to remain forgotten.

Fast forward to 2016 when Claypool was touring with Sean Lennon as The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Les played the old, neglected recordings to Sean, who decided that the world was finally ready for Beanpole!

I’m a UK fan but still absolutely stoked for these long time reunions - Sausage especially. Oysterhead will be a blast to hear once again too, and if we get another record out of either band it’ll be brilliant. Les mentioned around the time of The Desaturating Seven that he’s crossing things off his bucket list musically as he gets older, and 2020 is shaping up great.

Hard to say when it's a Rush-themed concert. I assume they'll do the typical Tweekers, Mud, Race Car Driver etc. songs as well. In general, expect the unexpected is a good rule of thumb for a Primus gig. Les, Ler and Herb are great at just locking in a jam so organically and naturally at this point.

I'm still gobsmacked they did Eclectic Electric. Of any/all of the Antipop songs I'd have hedged a bet on them bringing back that would be somewhere near the bottom just because it's a huge proggy black sheep from the record. What a glorious piece of music.

I honestly forgot it existed, its probably the most obscure thing that's actually on one of the original 6 Primus records they could've possibly played. I was beyond shocked, after Lacquer Head and Antipop I was hoping we'd get something like Final Voyage of Liquid Sky but when they started this I didn't even realize what it was at first. Excellent choice and this stream was definitely worth the money.

Really hope this ends up being a big success for them and they decide to do a few more. Holding out hope primus, or some Claypool project, does something for NYE as this will be the first time in 20-something years they don't do some kind of special event.

Definitely would have loved some Final Voyage, that is one of my favourite Primus tracks.

I wonder why Les changed his mind after all this time, even in the most recent interviews he's still talked less than fondly about Antipop. Maybe Ler talked him round this time. Going to pour a big glass of red wine and absorb this full thing tonight.

3. Frizzle Fry

5. Green Naugahyde
6. Pork Soda
7. Brown Album
8. The Desaturating Seven

Yet, "Animals" is way up there, but I'm not counting EPs. "Antipop" has a complicated standing I guess as it came out amidst the Nu-Metal era, yet had some pretty prominent guests and quite ambitious.

IMO Conspiranoia is the weakest cut, and probably the most Rush influenced one.

The only issue I have with the EP is how much it's making me crave for more. SO good but SO short!

Honestly forgot that this bad boy came out today until I saw this thread. So glad I'm working from home and can blast this right away.

Can't wait to see them tomorrow in Madison!

The Madison show last night was great. The guys sound super tight after practicing all that Rush stuff. Managed to get a poster as well.

I saw that poster earlier and thought it was one of the better ones I've seen. How was the debut of Follow The Fool live?!

I'm glad I got there early enough to grab one; they sold out before Primus started, whereas they still had copies of the Cedar Rapids poster from the previous night sitting there for sale.

'Follow the Fool' was great! When Les said they were about debut a new tune, I was hoping it was gonna be 'Erin on the Side of Caution', honestly. That said, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun FTF was live. Really really groovy and I was really happy to have gotten it by the time it was over.

I was sure I was going to skip the Milwaukee date later this spring since I caught this show, but it sounded so good that I'm considering hitting that one up as well.

You gotta love the association of Claypool and shrooms, whether it's the Fungi Ensemble or him scoring games like Mushroom Men to seeing prints like these. LOVE IT.

PRIMUS was great last night. Loved seeing them at the BMO Harris Pavilion. I've seen a lot of gigs at the Summerfest grounds, but it was nice to see a show there without the massive festival crowd. The weather was gorgeous and it was a treat to get there, wait in a short line to grab a poster, and comfortably enjoy a beer next to the lake while the opening band played. I'd take that experience over a show at The Rave any day (I should say any day that Wisconsin weather allows for that). The band sounded great and the set was a nice mix- I think every album was represented except Brown. Highlights: Lacquerhead, Erin on the Side of Caution, Nutbutter, Frizzle Fry. My only minor gripe is that I'm still chasing Tommy the Cat- I've been to six Primus shows now and still haven't gotten it!

Mr. Blaileen It always seems like pretty common songs that can allude you. I've seen Primus 17 times and only just saw To Defy The Laws of Tradition for the first time last week, and John the Fisherman for the first time last year. Tommy is always a blast though, always crossing my fingers for that one.

So lucky getting Erin. That track's only been busted out a couple of times so far, and IMO is the strongest from the new EP. It's great how that and Follow The Fool seem really slip into live setlists like they've always been there from footage I've seen. Really strong tracks!

You also got Nutbutter which is incredible.

Awesome news but I still prefer a good AUD to pro audio.

That, and the special looks to only be 2 hours. There are also slightly different set lists:

"Piss Up A Rope" was played on the 9th; "Buckingham Green" took its spot on the 10th.
"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" was played on the 9th; "My Name Is Mud" took its spot on the 10th.
"Man Up" and "Too Many Puppies" were performed on the 9th, but not the 10th.

Brownbase lists zeegrizzle's youtube links as the current best source.

Dudes got a bunch of other Primus tapes and some NIN videos on his channel, is he active here or does someone know him?

(I didn't realize they played this show twice. I haven't circulated the lossless files from the Primus show I taped in 2018 yet, it trading is a possibility....)
