Primus is an American rock band based in San Francisco, California, currently composed of bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry 'Ler' LaLonde and drummer Tim 'Herb' Alexander. Primus originally formed in 1984 with Claypool and guitarist Todd Huth, later joined by drummer Jay Lane, though the latter two departed the band at the end of 1988. Featuring LaLonde and Alexander, Primus recorded their debut Suck on This in 1989, followed by four studio albums: Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda, and Tales from the Punchbowl. Alexander left the band in 1996, replaced by Bryan 'Brain' Mantia, and Primus went on to record the original theme song for the TV show South Park and two more albums, Brown Album and Antipop, before declaring a hiatus in 2000.

In 2003, Claypool and LaLonde reunited with Alexander and released a DVD/EP, Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People, before touring sporadically through 2009. In 2010, Lane rejoined Primus, replacing Alexander, and the band released their seventh album, Green Naugahyde, in 2011. In 2013, Lane left the band to focus on other projects, and Tim Alexander rejoined once again. They have released some of their records on Claypool's own label Prawn Song Records.Primus is characterized by its irreverent, quirky approach to music. Robert Christgau once remarked: '[Primus is] quite possibly the strangest top-10 band ever, and good for them.'^[1]

Band history[edit]

The early years and Frizzle Fry (1984–1990)[edit]

Primus began as Primate in El Sobrante, California, in 1984 with singer and bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Todd Huth, and a LinnDrum drum machine. The duo initially had trouble finding a drummer, until Claypool's friend Vince 'Perm' Parker returned home from a stint in the army, and together the three of them recorded their first demo, financed by Claypool selling his car.^[2]^[3] Primate changed their name to Primus after 'about a month' when they were approached by a group called the Primates threatening legal action over the similarity of their names.^[3] Parker was soon replaced by the band's second drummer, Peter Libby, who was himself replaced by Robbie Bean, before the band eventually settled on Tim 'Curveball' Wright in 1986.^[4] After rising to fame in the local music scene with their brand of funk metal fusion, reaching the point where they were 'selling out Berkeley Square', Wright left Primus in the summer of 1988 to be replaced by Jay Lane, drummer with the Freaky Executives, who were 'getting dicked around by their record company', as Claypool later described it.^[3]

After recording another demo, titled Sausage, Lane left Primus at the end of 1988 when 'something good happened' with the Freaky Executives' record deal.^[3] Huth also left the band soon after, wishing to dedicate more time to his family.^[3] In 1987, Primus was put on hold briefly and Claypool rejoined his former band, Blind Illusion, who at the time also featured one-time Joe Satriani student and ex-Possessed guitarist Larry 'Ler' LaLonde.^[5] Claypool recruited LaLonde to reform Primus together with Tim 'Herb' Alexander, drummer with the Arizona-based group Major Lingo, and a month later,^[3]^[6] the trio recorded their first album: Suck on This (1989), a live recording culled from two of their Berkeley concerts, funded by a loan from Claypool's father.^[7]Bryan 'Brain' Mantia (who later joined the band in 1996) was briefly a member of the band during this time period, before a broken foot forced him to leave the group.^[8]

In 1990, the band released their first studio album, Frizzle Fry, and released singles for 'John the Fisherman' and 'Too Many Puppies'. With a music video featuring Kirk Hammett, a studio album and a tour with Jane's Addiction, Primus' popularity grew to the point where they attracted attention from Interscope Records, who signed them in 1990.

Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda and Tales from the Punchbowl (1991–1996)[edit]

Primus's major label debut was the album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. The album was supported by the singles 'Jerry Was a Race Car Driver' and 'Tommy the Cat', both of which appeared on MTV. A third single, 'Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers', was also released but did not feature a video. The band appeared as contestants for the Battle of the Bands in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey and made music for a Beavis and Butt-Head tribute album with a song entitled 'Poetry and Prose'. With a major label behind them, Sailing the Seas of Cheese went gold. The band then toured in support of Rush, U2, Anthrax, Public Enemy, and Fishbone.

After the release of Sailing the Seas of Cheese, in 1992 Primus released a cover songEPMiscellaneous Debris, with their version of XTC's 'Making Plans for Nigel' receiving enough airplay to reach No. 30 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.^[9]

In 1993, Primus released Pork Soda, which managed to debut at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 10. The album was darker than previous Primus efforts, dealing with murder, suicide, and alienation. The band has commented that prior to recording, they had been touring for nearly two solid years and were thus in a sombre mood. 'My Name Is Mud' was the first single, the band's
