In late 2024, the mind boggling and undefinable rock band Primus found themselves in search of a drummer. They scoured the galaxy for the greatest drummers available. After over 6100 eager submissions, this is what they narrowed it down to.
Welcome to the Primus Interstellar Drum Derby.
Visit Series »»"On Tuesday, Jan 7 at 10:44 am I got a video text from Ler Lalonde with the words 'Here we go!' in the caption. The video showed flames and a large plume of smoke coming down the hillside above his house.
Since that moment, Larry "Ler" Lalonde and his family have been on an emotional roller coaster that Ican only imagine in my worst nightmares. He, and many others likehim, lost their homes and possessions that very day. But Ler, being the positive happy-go-lucky fellathat he is, has been surprisingly upbeat and has continued to bevery professional and selfless in his commitments to Primus and the fans by moving forward with theprocess of auditioning a slew of drummers in the midst of trying toput his and his family’s lives back together. I am amazed by his resilience and his commitment to keepmoving forward.
In the spirit of Ler, we have created a T-Shirt in his honor to help ease the burden of his loss awell as create a platform to donate to the Raise Pali Campaign."
- Les Claypool

“I'd been itching to record an opus--basically a long, winding, bastard of a song, reminiscent of some of the compositions I cut my teeth (or ears) on, in my music-hungry adolescence,” bassist Les Claypool told Consequence. “"Conspiranoia" was sprouted from a seed I had planted in my notebook a year or so ago--a few lines commenting on the mental state of the contemporary world.”
