other Les Claypool tour dates
Experimental bass funk artist and frontman for the band Primus, Les Claypool is in the middle of a tour with his Fancy band supporting the
live DVD of last year's concert experience.
This is the first tour of '07 for Les, who's been playing primarily clubs and outdoor festivals -- if you exclude his now legendary impromptu performance with Slash, Perry Ferrell, and Tom Morello at this years SXSW festival, or his other appearance at SXSW with his "mock and roll" jam band, the Electric Apricot. Though we missed both his SXSW appearances due to bad timing and exhaustion, we'll be at his show in Austin next Tuesday to do a full review and picture spread. And if we get really really lucky maybe Les will even sit down for a video interview. We did get to talk to Les on the phone yesterday about the band's current tour, his favorite bass and a variety of other interesting subjects. You can listen to the podcast below or download the club kingsnake podcast at iTunes.
