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."
