PRIMUS Returns With Twin Releases In October

The mighty PRIMUS — bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry Lalonde and drummer Tim Alexander — return this fall with a formidable one-two-three punch. October 17 will bring twin releases: their first-ever retrospective CD “They Can’t All Be Zingers: The Best Of Primus” (Interscope/UMe) and a new DVD “Blame It On The Fish” (on their own Frizzle Fry Inc. imprint), subtitled “An Abstract Look at the 2003 Primus Tour De Fromage“, their triumphant reunion trek.

Next, the band will head out on the road for a major North American headlining tour launching November 1 in Austin and wrapping December 9 in Phoenix.

The 16-selection “They Can’t All Be Zingers” spans the band’s career from 1990 to 2003, featuring all of its original Modern Rock hits — “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver”, “My Name Is Mud” and the Grammy-nominated “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver” — plus fan favorites and a previously unreleased, extended version of “Shake Hands With Beef“. “They Can’t All Be Zingers” also marks the first time that PRIMUS‘ Interscope Records catalog has been digitally remastered.

“Blame It On The Fish” is the third DVD release from PRIMUS and follows “Hallucino-Genetics Live 2004“. The main feature film is 70 minutes and is accompanied by over 90 minutes of bonus material. In addition to dozens of additional scenes, the extras also include a 30-minute futuristic documentary about the band set in the year 2065 and interviews with the then-102-year-old bandleader Les Claypool.
