Primus tour

Experience Alternative Rock Legends Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Few bands in alternative rock have left as indelible a mark as Primus. Formed in 1984 in El Sobrante, California, the band was founded by bassist-vocalist Les Claypool, with early guitarist Todd Huth helping shape their initial sound. Whether you’re following the latest Primus tour or rediscovering their early catalog, their rise began with 1990’s Frizzle Fry and accelerated with 1991’s Sailing the Seas of Cheese and 1993’s Pork Soda. Primus has sold over 3 million albums in the U.S., earning Platinum certifications for Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda.

Primus’ legacy is defined by two Grammy nominations, cross-generational appeal, and a singular sound that blends funk, metal, and progressive rock. They’re cultural touchstones as well—composing the iconic theme for South Park—while influencing countless bands with their odd time signatures, experimental guitar work, and virtuosic bass lines.

Current Band Members

• Les Claypool — Bass, Vocals

A founding member and the band’s primary songwriter, Claypool is renowned for his virtuosic slap-bass technique and eccentric stage presence. His creative vision drives Primus’ off-kilter sound and adventurous live shows.

• Larry “Ler” LaLonde — Guitar

Joining in 1989 after a formative stint with Possessed, LaLonde brings experimental guitar textures and eclectic influences. His boundary-pushing style is essential to the band’s twisted, progressive edge.

• Tim “Herb” Alexander — Drums

First joining in 1988, Alexander’s complex, polyrhythmic drumming anchors Primus’ intricate compositions. Between stints with the band, he’s performed with acts including A Perfect Circle, highlighting his wide-ranging chops.

Former and Legacy Members

• Todd Huth — Guitar (1984–1989, 1996)

The original guitarist, Huth helped establish Primus’ early sound before their commercial breakthrough.

• Jay Lane — Drums (1988, 2010–2013)

An early member who returned decades later, Lane brought a jazz-influenced approach across multiple tours and recordings.

• Bryan “Brain” Mantia — Drums (1996–2000)

Mantia powered several albums during Alexander’s hiatus before moving on to work with Guns N’ Roses and major studio projects.

Primus’ catalog is stacked with fan favorites like Jerry Was a Race Car Driver, My Name Is Mud, Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver, Tommy the Cat, and John the Fisherman. Landmark albums—Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda, Tales from the Punchbowl, and beyond—showcase a fearless blend of humor, heavy grooves, and progressive ambition.

A Primus concert delivers immersive production, extended jams, and unpredictable setlists—often with video projections, elaborate lighting, and quirky stage props. The band’s musicianship is front and center, and the energy in theaters, amphitheaters, and mid-sized arenas makes each night feel like a one-of-a-kind trip.
