Primus Brings Oddity Faire to Congress Theater (Saturday, 10/2/10)
Did Someone Say Something About The Oddity Faire? Primus Returns to Chicago for First Time Since Sold-Out 2006 Show
“We’re going to fill it full of freaks…” – Les Claypool, Primus Bassist, regarding The Oddity Faire
Primus is back, and on October 2nd, 2010, the influential alternative icons will return to the Windy City for the first time in nearly four years.
The Les Claypool-led three-piece will take to the road this fall as part of the 2nd Annual Oddity Faire, a musical freak show founded and headlined by the prolific bassist last year. Though this year Les will be at the helm of a band that brought the world Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda, and the internationally-adored theme to South Park.
Primus will be honing their chops in preparation for their first return to the studio since 1999’s Antipop. The new album will be released in 2011. They’ll be joined at the Faire by Portugal, The Man, and Split Lip Rayfield
Primus formed in the late ’80s in Northern California, releasing their first album, Suck On This, in 1989. They signed to Caroline Records and released the now classic Frizzle Fry in 1990. As part of the alternative rock explosion of the ’90s, the band signed to Interscope and gave the world some of the biggest records of the decade, including Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, Pork Soda, Tales From The Punchbowl and The Brown Album, had several Billboard top 10 debuts, and garnered a Grammy nomination.
