Primus

Thrash-Rockers Primus, With Dinosaur Jr. and More

Primus, the thrash-punk band founded by Les Claypool, has been rocking for nearly a quarter of a century and is now taking the stage at JBL Live at Pier 97. In the tradition of eclectic artists like Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa, Claypool and his bandmates have created an original and difficult-to-categorize sound. Claypool once famously labeled the Primus sound "psychedelic polka," but you'll have to judge for yourself. Expect to hear tunes from throughout the band's career including "Jack Was a Race Car Driver" and "Tommy the Cat" from their gold album "Sailing the Seas of Cheese". Opening the show will be Dinosaur Jr. and The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.
