Skerik's saxophone genius is on full display in dozens of bands and projects, and he is well-known for his work with Les Claypool over numerous musical iterations. We speak with Skerik today about those various pursuits, and he reveals the band he teases Les about, and how he had to learn the guitar melodies for John The Fisherman, plus an update on the forthcoming Sound Cipher project.

Primus Tracks - Soya & Frankie Play You Don't Know Cock
play

07/25/22 • 40 min

Back in 1999, the Primus website presented You Don't Know Cock, a parody trivia game about the band. Alas, they dropped the game from a website migration, and it was lost history. However, nothing digital truly dies.
Watch the gameplay on Youtube: https://youtu.be/SxdOT6oekq8
Music for today's episode is Primus with Adam Gates as Bob Cock and the Yellow Sock, performing at the DNA Lounge in 1992.

08/17/22 • 39 min

Primus and Ween accompanied Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with a host of supporting performers on a two-night run at the famed Red Rocks to celebrate South Park's 25th anniversary. You'll get a firsthand account of the action, as JOSH WAS THERE. If you haven't already, check out the pro-shot footage on Paramount+; these performances will likely never happen again, and it was a truly magical experience.

Primus Tracks - The Desaturating Seven - The Valley
play

09/05/22 • 63 min

We move into a new Primus record cycle and recap all of the hints the band dropped in early 2017 as to what was to come; the final product being The Desaturating Seven. By modern standards a short album, we discuss the initial mixed reception to the record's concept and execution, and how crowds were won over by live performances. We dig into the promotions for the album and the parallels in record and book design, as this record takes inspiration from Ul de Rico's book The Rainbow Goblins. If you haven't read the book, find it!

Lespecial bassist Luke Bemand returns to explain the underpinnings of this track, in which there are few, if any rests for the bass. It's a driving rainbow bass tune that requires special investigation. Plus, we talk about the "lollipop" guitar by Larry LaLonde and lyrics that, while based on a book, make oblique commentary to contemporary events.

Primus Tracks - Conspiranoia

Conspiranoia

Primus Tracks

play

11/14/22 • 62 min

Conspiranoia was borne of the band's prog shift, starting in 2017 and continuing with the Tribute To Kings tours, in which the band played Rush every night. Seems appropriate that they'd want to create their own epic, and this is the result of those efforts - a jammy, proggy suite complete numerous firsts for the band, and lyrics sure to piss off the right people. Put on your tinfoil hats as we dig into the 2022 edition of Primus!
