Primus, formed in El Sobrante, CA in 1984 and led by bassist Les Claypool, blends art-rock, funk, and heavy metal with humor. Known for albums like "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" and hits like "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver," they achieved pop stardom with a unique, experimental style. Their work features collaborations with artists like Tom Morello and Metallica's James Hetfield. Notable albums include "Pork Soda," "Tales from the Punchbowl," and "The Desaturating Seven." Primus remains active, with Claypool as a constant member, despite lineup changes over the years.
