Sathington Willoughby Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My favorite band not from the 60's-70's. Return of Tim Alexander and a possible new album (2013-present) In September 2013, Les revealed that Jay Lane has departed Primus to focus on RatDog with Bob Weir. Previous drummer Tim Alexander has rejoined the band in his place. The band plans on going into the studio in November to possibly record their eighth studio album, the name will be announced in 2014.

Sathington Willoughby Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 The first official Primus show with Tim Alexander back on drums was New Year's Eve 2013 at The Fox Theater in Oakland. The band performed their first set in front of the iconic Suck On This backdrop, the very same one seen in the "Too Many Puppies" music video. For their second set, Primus (joined by saxophonist Skerik and percussionist Mike Dillon) performed the soundtrack from the 1971 film "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" in its entirety. During a CNET.com interview, Les Claypool mentioned that the band is currently recording the Willy Wonka material.[31] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
