Band BiographyEdit

Primus most notably known for the unique bass sound of Les Claypool, as Primus is one of the few bands that uses the bass as a lead instrument. Les Claypool also has a distinct voice, and often amusing, crystallized lyrics. He has often stated The Residents has a big influence, and it shows. There are rumors that he has been a Resident, but he's denied them as have the Cryptic Corporation. Primus broke up in 2000, but they're back together and working on a new record.
