PRIMUS has released the official Cage Claypool-directed music video for ‘The Ol’ Grizz’, a song from the band’s ‘A Handful Of Nuggs’ EP, which came out in May.
‘The Ol’ Grizz’ is among the first new studio recordings to feature drummer John Hoffman. He is a Shreveport native who joined the band in 2025 after beating out more than 6,100 applicants in a global audition process dubbed the ‘Interstellar Drum Derby’. Hoffman’s deep pocket, wild musical mind, and immediate chemistry with Claypool and LaLonde made him the clear choice.
