Primus Returns to the Road, Plans New Album
- Posted on May 3rd 2010 10:04PM by Benjy Eisen
Get ready to yell "Primus sucks!" because, yes, Les Claypool has reactivated the band and they're heading back on the road this summer after a four-year absence. The iconic alternative group, which once encouraged their fans to yell "Primus sucks!" as a way of chiding them into an encore, will kick things off in Toronto on July 27. They'll bring gypsy punks Gogol Bordello with them for most dates but will then cross the finish line on August 15 in Santa Barbara, Calif. with Wolfmother in support. Primus is also scheduled to perform at this year's Gathering of the Vibes festival in Bridgeport, Ct. on July 31. That's super exciting news and all but we've saved the best for last: Primus plans to release a new album sometime next year. A press release states that this tour will help the band "refine their chops before heading into the studio to record their first album of brand new music since 1999's 'Antipop.'"
We imagine that they'll do an encore even if the crowd doesn't yell "Primus sucks!" But, you know -- better play it safe.

I just saw them in july in SACRAMENTO CA. on the oddity fair tour. And neither GO GO BORDELLO or WOLFMOTHER opened for them... Some Mariaci Band opened..... And I saw them about a year ago and GO GO BORDELLO opened for them.... SO even though they have not released an album they have STILL BEEN TOURING.....I just wish they would hurry up and release thier new album I am sick of waiting

Hell, after all these years I'm still behind anything these clowns do. Special request: bring Trey in on the action a little bit!

Animals Should Not Act Like People was released in 2003 and contained 5 new songs. C'mon man.

Animals was an EP, not an album. Antipop was their last album.
