How To Book PRIMUS For Your Event!

Primus is an American rock band formed in El Sobrante, California, in
1984. Over the course of various lineup changes,
Les Claypool is the
only remaining original member left in Primus.
Primus is characterized by its irreverent, quirky approach to music
distinguished by Claypool's bass-first songwriting style and eccentric lyrical
themes. In 1993, Robert Christgau remarked: "[Primus is] quite possibly
the strangest top-10 band ever, and good for them."
Unlike other bands associated with the 1990s alternative music movement,
Primus emerged from a mostly metal background, with
Les Claypool and
Larry LaLonde previously a part of the 1980s Californian thrash metal
underground. Kirk Hammett, guitarist of Bay Area thrash metal band
Metallica, remarked in a
1991 interview that Primus are "unique, they're a square peg in a round
hole".
The music of Primus has been described as "thrash-funk meets Don Knotts,
Jr." and "the Freak Brothers set to music". Also, Primus has been
categorized as alternative rock, alternative metal, experimental rock, funk
rock, funk metal, progressive rock, and "thrash-funk".
Regarding the band's genre,
Les Claypool stated
in 1991 "We've been lumped in with the funk metal thing just about everywhere. I
guess people just have to categorize you". MTV suggests that Primus is "a
post-punk Rush spiked with the sensibility and humor of Frank Zappa".
Les Claypool himself
once described their music as "psychedelic polka." SPIN have labelled Primus
as "pranksters" and, in 1995, as an "unlikely gold-selling white trash purveyor
of hard-ass pinballing funk metal".
Primus' influences include
King Crimson, the
Residents, Rush, Pink Floyd and Hillel Slovak-era
Red Hot
Chili Peppers.
The band have been credited as an influence to the nu metal genre, with bands
such as Deftones,
Korn,
Limp Bizkit, Pressure
4-5 and Pleymo all having been inspired by Primus.
Primus is also known for their unique live performances that feature
extended solos and improvisation. Many of their songs have been upgraded
significantly with changed lyrics, added solos, and general alterations in
musical composition. Claypool often plays the whamola during drum solos.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE PRIMUS?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire PRIMUS for an event?)
(i.e., what is PRIMUS booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for PRIMUS, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.

artist's fee for your particular event, simply click on the "Let's Get Started!" link found on this page. Then, send us your request for booking
