Primus (originally formed in 1984), is an American rock band - currently made up of Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim Alexander.

Their style of music has been hard to pin point. Claypool said they were in the funk metal genre, but many people have described their music as alternative/ experimental rock and alternative metal.

The duo - Les Claypool and guitarist Todd Huth, originally found it hard to get a drummer when they started out, eventually finding a friend of Claypool's to fill the spot. They went on to rise to stardom in their local music scene with their funk metal fusion.

After members coming and going from the band, the group decided to have a short break in 1989, but shortly after the trio got together and recorded their first album called "Suck On This". This lead to the subsequent release of their album "Frizzle Fry" and a tour with Jane's Addiction.

The group released "Pork Soda", which made number 7 in the Billboard Top 10 in 1993. The album had gone darker than their usual style of music, which included elements of suicide and murder. Following this, the band went on to headline at the Lollapalooza rock festival. Whilst playing their song "My Name Is Mud" the audience actually threw mud at them, which ended with a lot of anger from Claypool.

In 1999 the group released "Antipop", which included many big names such as Meallica, Rage Against the Machine and many more. From that album the group released a music video for the album's single called "Lacquer Head", which was banned from MTV because of references to drugs.

Primus went on to tour up and throughout 2011, including the Bonnaroo festival, shortly after followed by a Europe tour, before embarking on a "major fall tour" to support their new album. And the next year the band went on tour with their first ever 3D-enhanced live musical performance. Each show featured Quad Surround Sound and 3D visuals to make it a different experience for their fans.

Live reviews

Every now and then, you come across a band that genuinely stand alone as a real musical one-off; as a genre, though, metal seems to have more than its fair share. Primus fit pretty neatly into that particular category; their weird blend of heavy instrumentation, funk-driven song structures and progressive, expansive leanings makes them a genuinely intriguing proposition. Not to mention, too, that they do it all with their own quirky sense of humour running through proceedings; classic records by the band bear titles including Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda. After an initial split back in 2000 - because “it just wasn’t fun anymore”, according to singer Les Claypool - they reconvened in 2003 and continue to tour to this day, playing shows that are equal parts eccentric silliness and technical proficiency. Their most recent tour of the UK, saw career-spanning sets that included classics like ‘Jerry Was a Race Car Driver’ and ‘Frizzle Fry’ and typically ended with a bombastic, extended rendition of ‘John the Fisherman’. With drummer Tim Alexander returning to the fold late last year after a seventeen-year absence, there’s rumours that Primus may head to the studio later this year, meaning further touring plans shouldn’t be too far around the corner.

They're still killing it. Played a nice variety of their hits, with perhaps a bit more focus on Frizzle Fry than on other albums, just three songs from post-Brown album, including one from their upcoming album. Was stoked to see them play Over the Falls... Les fucked up on Southbound Pachyderm and stopped, then threw in Mr. Knowitall as penance before resuming Southbound Pachyderm to finish out the encore. Hell of a show...

Les was interactive and chatty as always. This was the third time I'd seen them and it was just as good as the first, which was rad. Primus rules and I will see them again whenever I can.

The concert was nice overall - great venue, amazing set list, good interaction with the public. The second half was the Chocolate Factory album, which you may or may not like but was impressive.

Quite disappointing though was the fact that despite a very, VERY cheery audience who called the band for more than 15 minutes, Primus didn't come back from an encore. I was personally very disappointed by this, as it's kind of a tradition in live events - especially which such a loud crowd! It was a sad ending for an otherwise perfect gig.

It was good. Lots of my favorite old songs. On the pork soda album. Also I was impressed with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory psychedelic stuff. And a two parter with an intermission and I got a frizzle fry tee shirt. And I got my girlfriend a purple Charlie tee shirt. 1 thing, the Orpheum is really nice with reserved seating. And we had to stand the whole time to see because everyone else was standing. I like to rock out but I also like to sit down. Great show overall, great musicians

This probably replaced several other shows as my favorite. Claypool's humor and irreverent nature with the audience was fantastic. The band managed to play many of their classics and a few surprises thrown in as well. This being the Chocolate Factory, they eventually centered the show around it and hilarity ensued. With Claypool sauntering on stage as Willy Wonka amidst mushrooms and Oompa Loompas, Primus managed to trip everyone out.

Best concert ever!!! They played for allmost 3 hours. And they played all their old songs. The sound was perfect, the crowd was perfect, overall best night ever. Less claypool and his band rockend the crowd. I like their old hits kuch more than the experimental things less claypool tried the last couple of years. Primus played so good everybody was going out of their minds. Thanks for a great concert Guy's!

What can I say, it was Primus, it was awesome, it was everything you'd expect.

They jammed like no one's business, again what I would have expected even though I've never seen them before.

One good thing is they only played one of the Oompaloompa songs off the last album (which are the only decent songs IMHO).

One bad thing is that they didn't play "My Name is Mud" AT ALL! boooooo.

The atmosphere was really something else, like being on drugs but not really. It was a trip, all right. About midways through the concert they left the stage, and four POPEYE-cartoons played on a monitor for about 20 minutes. Some people got slightly irritated but I liked it. It was a nice break from the music and it really fits with Primus' antics.

Definitely worth going to!

That was an awesome NYE show. Aside from the 60 foot sperm whale hanging overhead, and the fact that the Fox is a gorgeous theater, the second set had Herb Alexander fresh from heart surgery and Tool's Danny Carey doubling up on the drums with an epic 2 kit drum solo. They rang in the new year with a pretty epic Van Halen Hot for Teacher cover.

Primus has confirmed that they’ll be continuing on with their Tribute to Kings tour deep into next year with 46 new shows just announced!

The band spent much of their 2021 touring on the new concept that they’d do a set of Primus originals followed by a full rendition of the Rush album, A Farewell to Kings . I got to see the show they did in Berkeley and it blew me away.
