Primus

Have you ever tripped on mushrooms and thought the thoughts that you’re not supposed to think when you’re tripping – “What if I’m stuck, and I’ll be tripping forever?”, “How long have I been tripping?, — “Have I been tripping my entire life?” It’s a terrifying experience and, while I don’t know any cases of people actually getting “stuck” in perpetual trippiness, Les Claypool and the boys in Primus might actually be stuck. At least that’s what their extensive catalog of jam band, metal, funk, experimental rock music suggests. But they seem to be pretty alright with it. Along with the psychedelic imagery that accompany their live shows, one things for certain: This San Francisco-based three-piece are unapologetically wacky, unique and have been making waves in the rock ‘n’ roll world since the mid-’80s.
