Primus Interstellar Drum Derby

Welcome to the Primus Interstellar Drum Derby.

Ler Benefit Shirt
January 30, 2025

"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

The Raise Pali Campaign goes towards Palisades Charter High School, helping to provide students with resources during recovery efforts.

No comparison. Decided we need to share this with people who missed the first round in places we couldn’t get to. Strap in.”

Conspiranoid
April 6, 2022

Digital Release April 22
Vinyl Release August 5 via ATO Records

“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.”
