c2b3 - Thai Noodles w/ Rory Dolan
The great Rory Dolan of Lespecial rejoins Primus Tracks to deconstruct Brain's unusual drum performance on the second track of the c2b3 record, which, actually, already sounds like it was deconstructed? After rocking our faces off, this looser number reveals the more casual and spontaneous side of the band and project. Frankie reveals the thematic origins of the seemingly-nonsensical lyrics, which brings it all together.

c2b3 - Buckethead w/ Kello Gonzalez
มุมมอง 19916 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
The great Kello Gonzalez rejoins Primus Tracks amid his jam-packed schedule to discuss the fiery opening track to the lone Bucket of Bernie Brains release, Buckethead. The second biographical track about the mysterious masked figure with lyrics by Claypool, this one hoists him as a paragon of honor and excellence, with a towering track to match, but only after a whimsical keyboard intro courtes...
Making of c2b3 with Brain and Les Claypool
มุมมอง 53414 วันที่ผ่านมา
As we turn our attention to Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Tim Soya made sure we opened proceedings in style with two of the band members, Brian "Brain" Mantia and Les Claypool. We ask them about the origins and magic of C2B3 - which seems to be just that, given their commentary, but they certainly hold dear the experience of playing without a net and relying on one another to carr...
Primus DNA - XTC
มุมมอง 14121 วันที่ผ่านมา
We continue our DNA sub-series with a less obvious influence on Les Claypool and Primus: XTC. This English band influenced Les in his formative years, perhaps subconsciously influencing his own style, culminating in two Primus covers of XTC tracks from their album, Drums and Wires in Making Plans for Nigel and Scissorman. Here to provide a crash course in XTC And to describe what he hears of th...
Hot Rod Lincoln, Locomotive Breath, Number Two
มุมมอง 5828 วันที่ผ่านมา
Les Claypool was busy enough in 2002 with the release and support of Purple Onion, but he also found time to complete a cover of Hot Rod Lincoln for a compilation album, land Frog Brigade Bonnaroo performances on two official releases, and start his journey with Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. We dig into the covers and the improv nature of c2b3. Get involved: Instagram (instagram.c...
2024 Summer Tour Wrap
มุมมอง 47หลายเดือนก่อน
As the 2024 Primus summer tour concludes, we take a look at the number of set list surprises and other goodies that packed the 33-date sojourn with much mirth, merriment, and mind-melting, mesmerizing musicianship. This tour was unique for being conducted without some kind of theme or conceit behind, nor any kind of official release to back. Primus was just out on the road, headlining some fetc...
Master Class with David Lefkowitz - Prawn Song Records
มุมมอง 29หลายเดือนก่อน
David Lefkowitz returns for another Master Class. Dave managed Primus/Les for about twenty years, and additionally was the president of Prawn Song Records when the label pivoted to releasing albums by talented Bay Area bands. We discuss the challenges and intricacies of running a record label (Dave's advice: don't.) and why it's not the greatest idea. Great talk with a true heavy! Get involved:...
LSD - Minneapolis 2004
มุมมอง 87หลายเดือนก่อน
Our latest Legendary Show Dissection takes us back to 2004 as Primus marauded across North America to bring Frizzle Fry in its entirety to the masses in a two-set evening-with format. On this particular evening, the band graced the crowd with what we believe is a record of six consecutive songs on the six-string fretless "rainbow" bass. Considering that the rainbow is retired due to age and sen...
Purple Onion - Cosmic Highway w/ Kello Gonzalez
มุมมอง 95หลายเดือนก่อน
The great @kellogc Kello Gonzalez returns to wrap up Purple Onion in style with a breakdown of (and on) Cosmic Highway. We get into what makes this track a fan favorite, why it ends the record in a satisfying way, and what makes it so familiar to Primus fans picking up Les solo work for the first time.

Purple Onion - David Makalaster II
มุมมอง 972 หลายเดือนก่อน
David Makalaster II continues the saga of our newscaster, whose manipulative messaging has taken a turn to the bellicose. Mak II stands as commentary on the media landscape post 9/11 and its exhortations to belligerence, whether abroad or domestic, and the music supports that military march to war, which we connect to Les Claypool's favorite film, perhaps finding some of the musical inspiration...
Purple Onion - Up on the Roof w/ Sam Stewart
มุมมอง 1762 หลายเดือนก่อน
Sam Stewart of Flagman (flagmanband.com/) joins Primus Tracks to discuss Up On The Roof, and explains what makes it a certified banger in the Claypool catalogue. The track has familiar foundations in a percussive bass line and lyrics regarding drug addiction, but this tune remains fresh and vibrant over twenty years later.

Purple Onion - Lights in the Sky
มุมมอง 412 หลายเดือนก่อน
Lights in the Sky is another structured, thoughtful piece that seems simple, but allows maximum space for Frog Brigade collaborators to shine. In this case, they keep it atmospheric and low key until a bit of a heavier, unexpected ending. Although the lyrics are fairly generic for a Claypool tune, they provide ample fodder for conversation, and we take advantage by discussing stories of alien a...
Purple Onion - D's Diner w/ Anthony Garcia
มุมมอง 1103 หลายเดือนก่อน
This week on the podcast, we address the Les Claypool live staple D's Diner, which has been performed by so many iterations of his bands that everyone has lost count, except for Frankie. Bay Area resident and D's Diner regular Anthony Garcia helps us choose what menu items will be worth our while, models the main bass lick, and explains why it's okay to have a one-riff jam track in the middle o...
Purple Onion - Barrington Hall w/ Matt Hunter
มุมมอง 133 หลายเดือนก่อน
Barrington Hall is a legendary location in the Primus world, and its debauched past pairs well with the refined nature of the music from this Purple Onion track. Matt Hunter models the bass parts and harmonies, and we delve into the sordid events that led to Barrington's demise as a student housing cooperative.

Loving this C2B3 stuff! Do you have any insight into the 2002-09-13 show at Slim’s that I believe was professionally filmed for (I assume) a DVD release?
still looking for the old c2b3live shows from the website, I used to have a few of them I bought from the website but that was many computers ago 🥲
Wow! Incredibly talented musicians just jamming and improvising together on stage…how cool is that??
"These damned blue collared tweakers, They're runnin' this here town."
Big Eyeball in the Sky is my favorite album
The Bill Kirchen version of Hot Rod Lincoln is fantastic
As a blue collared (not tweeker) i absolutely love cuyahogas poster
The live video is private, ya bastard!

@@primustracks thank you
🤩😍GREAT SHOW!! Thanks for sharing! Right there with ya in regards to Carpenter! My fav!💕 dang, this episode is gonna be on repeat for awhile for sure! 😎
I love when you have Kello on the show.
As a black person, the "monkey boy" caught me way off guard.
"hi" in 2023
takes me back to a time when I was wishin' so hard to get the new 3Dfx card. Then I could really play some Quake.
aaahhh the internet
Mislabeled as Too Many Puppies on the broadcast. Hahaha
audio is way better than I'd expect!
Internet quality in 1996 was a lot better than people expected, especially with the rise of cable companies offering "high-speed" internet that was several magnitudes faster than Dial-Up, as well as DSL connections becoming significantly cheaper for the public.
"it's gonna come to the internet, gonna be all crap, and you're gonna love it! That's what the internet is, just, crap." fast forward 27 years
