Hey, I got Elton tix too!

[Mr. Blaileen]

Beanpole Announce Unreleased LP + Share Track On Rolling Stone 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" 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! Tracklisting - All My Kin His Name Is Beanpole Chicken Boy Cousins Supper Time! Farmer Loved An Onion Lunch Time! Pumpkin Pickin' Time Grandma Sponge Boy Midnight Snack! Embryo Judge Wapner Monkey Boy Children In Your Garden Dinner Time!

Ecstatic to be seeing Primus again in less than two weeks! This will be my 4th time seeing them, the first being Wakarusa 2012.
I was admittedly late to the Les Claypool party so it's no surprise this Beanpole project was way under my radar. Seems absolutely bizarre, I look forward to hearing more

Wow just got back from the Detroit show and they played their Peter Gabriel Intruder cover from the Miscellaneous Debris EP with Mastodon's drummer. Never ever expected to hear that one.

Pre orders are up for several vinyl reissues

-Pork Soda
-Brown Album
-Tales From The Punchbowl
-Miscellaneous Debris
-Antipop
-Rhinoplasty
-Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People

[halo eighteen]

Tales from the Punchbowl is the only thing I might jump on, but what's up with the new cover art? It's probably better than the original, but still. I've already got non color versions of the rest (besides the covers albums obviously, and Antipop but the less I think of that album, the better)

Looking at the thumbnail with no text I wouldn't have even known that was the album.

Might grab Pork Soda, Tales from the Punchbowl and Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People.

Go

[henryeatscereal]

Go

Ok, lol

It's not that i don't want to, but now i'm broke after 2 straight NIN concerts and the Black Friday, but i sure would like to watch them again!

[imail724]

This album is so so good. Only listened twice so far, but it hit all the right notes on those 2 listens. I loved their first album and played the hell out of it when it came out, but I think this one might be even better. Gotta spend some more time with it before I make that call though

[SM Rollinger]

Im not the biggest Primus aficionado, could someone help me with time stamps so I can split this up properly? If anyone wants a copy, ill hook you up after I track it out.

This was already posted in the threads for Slayer and Ministry, but I figured it's just as relevant here.

I might travel from KS to catch one of these dates! It would be my 5th Primus date & my first time seeing Ministry! (Bummed I missed their tour with Chelsea Wolfe) and what the hell, we might even stick around for a couple Slayer tunes!

I'll be at MSG for my 14th Primus show and 2nd Ministry show!

[SM Rollinger]

Still can't believe this is actually coming to Sioux falls! Just got our GA tickets today, it will be my 2nd time seeing both Slayer and Primus, and 3rd seeing Ministry!

[imail724]

Lots going on in Lesville recently. First it was announced that Sausage (original Primus lineup, pre-Frizzle Fry) would be reuniting for New Years Eve. Then they announced a first pressing of Frog Brigade's Live Frogs sets for RSD BF. And now this: https://livemusicblog.com/news/oyste...agram-account/

Color me excited.

[Jord]

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.

Just bought my ticket for the St. Louis show. This will be my first Primus concert....what should I expect from Les and Co.?

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.
