One of the most excellent bands on the planet. Formed in 1986 somewhere in the bay Area by Les Claypool (bass), Todd Huth (guitar) and Tim Wright (drums).

Wright shortly after the band's inception. He was replaced by Jay Lane. Then he jumped the shark too and was replaced by Tim "Herb" Alexander. Huth was also replaced by Blind Illusion guitarist Larry "ler" LaLonde.

CD after CD followed. Brian Mantia replaced Herb for The Brown Album and Antipop. But Herb has now returned for Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People, a 5-song EP.
Primus' "Pork Soda" was nominated for a Grammy in 1993.

An absolute chad who is also a basement dwelling kitten lover. Always requires his mods but can never support them. A demanding creature.

Dellis: Fuck off Danny

When the going gets tough and the stomach acids flow
The cold wind of conformity is nipping at your nose
Some trendy new atrocity has brought you to your knees
Come with us
We'll sail the seas of cheese

Talented band led by one of the most talented lyricist and bassist in the world
Welcome to this world of fools
Of pink champane and swimming pools
And all you have to do is lose your virginity
Perhaps we'll have some fun tonight
Just stick around and take a bite
Of life, we don't need febalness in this proximity

Welcome to this world
