May 29 shall see the birth of “Fancy” – the first solo live concert DVD by the unique mumbling bass player Les Claypool, known for his work with Primus and various side-projects like Oysterhead and Colonel Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade.
Appearing under the Les Claypool moniker, “Fancy” shows the musician on his 2006 summer tour with his latest group of accomplished players – Skerik on saxophone and Mike Dillon on percussion (both of Garage a Trois and Critters’ Buggin’), drummer Paolo Baldi (Cake) and multi-instrumentalist Gabby La La.
The DVD features performances of songs off Claypool’s solo releases “Of Whales and Woe” (2006), “Purple Onion” (2002) and “Les Claypool & The Holy Mackerel: Highball with the Devil” (1996).
