THE ODDITY FAIRE: Comes to the
Bay Area on Halloween Weekend

Primus will play as part of the Oddity Faire at the Greek Theatre in Berkley, CA on October 29th. This promises to be the most Outlandish Oddity Faire yet. Joining Primus will be the Omar Rodriguez Lopez group as well as all sorts of freaks and sideshow performers. Stay tuned for more Oddity Faire updates as we get closer to this extraordinary weekend.

This will be the first time that Les Claypool brings the Oddity Faire to the Bay Area. The Oddity Faire began in 2009 and has had such performers as Gogol Bordello, Portugal the Man, The Secret Chiefs, Saul Williams, Mariachi El Bronx and Mucca Pazza. The Greek Theatre is Les' favorite venue, so except nothing less than an all-out Freakfest on October 29th.

I always thought Herb was the best drummer in Primus's lineup.

Getting extremely excited for the new album.  Primus were one of the very first artists I really "got into" when I was younger.  I'll be seeing them in my town in October, my second time.  Can't freaking wait!

I didn't think Brain being the better drummer was popular belief.  Both are great drummers though, and I've heard the contrasts between Herb and Brain are similar to those between Bruford and White in Yes.  I can agree to that.

What is it, 2 weeks roughly till the new album?  Can't wait! Big smile

Not so long, there was that EP with the DVD combo - Animals Shouldn't Try To Act Like People.  If you haven't heard that one and you really can't wait, I'd recommend it.  It was actually my first try at Primus after Frog Brigade.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

"erriot" - an error done by an idiot or one during an idiotic moment.................................
 
BTW one reason I much prefer PA,  is that if you make an error, then it is likely to get a gentle tease of a correction, as opposed to Prog Ears, where politeness tends to disappear and you can be treated as a total sh*thead for the slightest of slips.

Review in today's Times of Primus's gig at London Brixton Acdemy some time this week.  Also mentions release of their first album in 11 years, Green Naugahyde in September and the line-up is Claypole, Larry LaLonde and Jay Lane. Slightly pissed, since this is the first mention I've seen of Primus being over in the UK.

There are two Live Frogs volumes; one of them is a live cover of the entire Animals album, the other is various covers of other groups (a bit more Floyd, King Crimson, some of Les' groups, etc).  Both are pretty good.

What, did you hear the Frog Brigade's cover of Thela Hun Ginjeet on one of the Live Frogs discs and decide to check out the original too? Tongue

No.  I just heard Primus cite Crimson as an influence.  I'll track down that cover now thank you very much! Smile

BTW, am I the only one who thinks they deserve more than "prog related" status? 
 


no, I think they should be bumped up as well.

Frizzle Fry, Seas Of Cheese and Tales are my favorites, but Pork Soda is an often overlooked gem - by far the darkest Primus album.  Took me awhile to really appreciate that one.
