The mad geniuses of rock known as Primus are ready to unleash their first studio effort since 19992s Antipop unto the masses. A recent statement made by frontman/bassist Les Claypool confirms that the album has already been recorded and offers fans a mini-review of what to expect. "The Primus record is nearly done. Every song is pretty much a variation of 'Don't Fear The Reaper' by Blue Oyster Cult. Everyone should buy two copies." An official album release date has not been announced, but that isn't keeping this trio from staying busy on the [...]

La band manca dall'Europa da diverso tempo. Ma l'ora di riascoltare una delle formazioni più folli e geniali degli anni '90 è finalmente arrivata anche per i fan italiani: sarà uno tra i Festival estivi che si sta maggiormente distiguendo per qualità ed esclusività ad ospitare i PRIMUS, il 26 Giugno ai Dieci Gioni Suonati al Castello di Vigevano , mentre il il giorno seguente Roma li accoglierà all' Atlantico Live .

The Hangout Music Festival experienced its share of hurdles during its inaugural year; an oil spilled ravaged the festival's Gulf Shore setting, while The Flaming Lips canceled at the last minute. But with the bad also came some good, and Hangout not only proved itself a formidable force in the country's ever-growing summer festival circuit, but in the process, it also raised some money for charity . Now, in its second year, Hangout will look to build on those successes with a lineup featuring some of music's most elite. Foo Fighters, Paul Simon, and Widespread [...]

December 31st is the biggest night for live music of the year. An argument might be made for Halloween, but I'm not buying it. Your non-live-music-loving-friends don't say things like, "Halloween is the most anti-climactic day of the year" while you sit there and just snicker. We've been a little Phish heavy this week so let's take a look at how 24 other bands rang in 2011. Side Note: This was my first time using embedded images from setlist.fm and I must say it looks super slick. That site has really got it going on, [...]
Dried tears and liquor are sealing your eyes shut. A half-empty bottle of Asti-Spumante hangs out of your hand or mouth. Your clothes are anywhere but where they usually are. It's early morning on January 1st and as the sun saws open your eyes, the first thoughts that race into your head are: "What was last night?" Whether you chose to remember it or not, New Years Eve always becomes an event – be it a swanky party full of beautiful people, or a sad, lonely remembrance of 2010 alone in your darkened apartment. But save yourself the [...]
Gypsy-punkers Gogol Bordello, Primus bass-master Les Claypool and special guest Kirk Hammett from Metallica perform a set of Tom Waits covers at Bonnaroo's SuperJam 2008.
When I am not trolling simple-minded, entry-level elitists, I enjoy the soothing, dulcet tones of some classic thrash or death metal. I am definitely not any kind of metal encyclopedia or authority on the subject, but I have realized that (sadly) I'm old enough to have heard a few bands that many younger metal fans [...]

Filed under: News Fresh from a few rounds of touring with his band Primus , Les Claypool wrote an open letter to fans that thanked them for all their support but then bared a particularly personal message. Appearing on his official website on Wednesday, the letter explained that in the midst of all his recent touring, Claypool was informed that his nephew, Matthew, was diagnosed with leukemia. "Needless to say this has been a gut wrenching [...]

As I previously mentioned I had the chance to catch Gogol Bordello and Primus on the Oddity Faire 2010 tour. It was a pretty rocking show. When I was purchasing tickets for the show I noticed that Primus actually released a new EP this year. The best part is that it is free! For the simple price of an e-mail address you can download the June 2010 Rehearsal from Primus' official website [...]

It may seem a bit early to start thinking about the holiday season, since we've barely even made it to Halloween, but believe it or Hannukah is right around the corner - with it set to begin on the night of December 1. As become tradition, Matisyahu will once again celebrate the eight crazy nights with his annual Festival Of Lights , which is now in its fifth year. The Hasidic reggae superstar is changing things up a bit as he will take the show on road, hitting six cities for a total of nine [...]
since i neglected the month of September on this blog, there were no "top 9 lists" or "1990 mix" or "9 lives of Peter Criss". nothing having to do with the number 9. not even a "september rain" or "indian summer" reference. not that i didn't have anything to post. i did post 4 of these videos in September. i have plenty of good stuff to share and several posts are half-way written already. so, i will make up for the lack of recent posts in this month and year of tens. i will publish 10 [...]

[caption id="attachment_14022" align="alignnone" width="445" caption="Primus at Congress Theatre | Photo by Richard Giraldi"] [/caption] Another band riding the nostalgia train, Primus came trudging into Chicago's Congress Theatre on Saturday night with a show full of twisted, bottom-heavy shenanigans. Though Primus songs don't really have any pop tendencies or discernible hooks, their fans are rabid and moshed, head-banged and crowd surfed to every lightning bass flick from lead singer and bassist extraordinaire Les Claypool or jazzy, metallic riffage from vastly underrated guitarist Larry LaLonde. But while Primus' live show blends carnival freak show antics [...]
