Tim IS playing the new tour.

Old Tim is back on this Tour and is featured on their New EP.


This Tour is the Origional Band Memebers.


The EP is Kicka$$ cause it comes with a dvd with all their videos, bootleg stuff and the cheesy home video.

Not sure if any Primus fans ever checked out Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, but those guys are amazing. I've been to 5 or 6 FFFB shows and they are pretty incredible. It's sort of like Primus with a jamband edge. Lots of jamming. They released two live discs. The first was a typical first set. The second disc is 'Animals' from start to finish. Good stuff just in case people hadn't heard of them.

Saw them Twice. Good mix of old claypool stuff(Holy Makeral) with a Jam Band Aproach. Oysterhead is also worth Checking Out.

Oysterhead was good, but a bit more straight rock and roll than I normally like.

I think the reason I like the Frog Brigade so much is Skerik on the sax. He's one of the best around right now. I've seen him play with all sorts of different bands and he's always great.

Just saw em in Detroit.... sweet show, sound was the best I've heard at any concert... the pacing of the show was a bit screwed up tho. It was like every song had its own interlude into another song or jam session worked in. Kinda was like "yeah i'm excited" then like "damn theyve been playing that for 5 min now" then "woohoo another badass track" then "oh what are they morphing it to now". Good show tho.

What's with the whole 'Primus Sucks!' thing anyway? Saw at least 2 of those bumper stickers on every car in the Nashua High School parking lot back in those dark days...

Heh, Winona's gotta big brown beaver...

Sounds like Les is trying to bring a bit of his recent jamband ventures into the band. I like hearing that. Granted, it's not for everyone, but I really dig that sort of thing. Thanks for the review.
