Venue: The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel

Primus was formed in El Sobrante, CA in 1984. The Northern California avant-rock trio Primus provides a shining example for bands who want to succeed on their own terms.

Fusing the skittering rhythmic attack of progressive-metal bands like Rush, the groove of funk and hippie rock, and the eccentricity of such experimental artists as Frank Zappa, the Residents, and Captain Beefheart, Primus has followed its own musical calling to large-scale industry success.

Primus has journeyed from the underground to the headlining spot at the 1993 Lollapalooza music festival; arguably the nation's most important alternative rock tour.

With major label support, Primus has emerged as one of the most musically daring acts in rock, yet its bizarre cross-fertilizations flourish in a garden of relative independence. It's the best of both worlds, and Claypool knows it: staying involved in all aspects of his band's work "gives you confidence," he insisted to Guitar Player, "and that's the most important thing to have in any aspect of the music business."
