Primus and Coheed and Cambria have hit the road together, and they are set to perform at The Anthem on Wednesday, August 14, with special guest Puddles Pity Party.
“Tommy the Cat.” “John the Fisherman.” “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver.” “My Name Is Mud.” “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver.” Yessiree, Primus is responsible for some of the most cutting edge and original rock music of the 1990’s. And now, the definitive Primus line-up – singer/bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Tim Alexander – is back together and planning on getting the worldwide masses bobbing up and down in unison once more.
Although originally formed in 1984, it was not until shortly before the end of the decade that the aforementioned classic line-up was solidified. With most hard rock/heavy metal acts at the time either neatly falling into either “thrash” or “glam” categories, Primus joined a variety of underground bands that refused to be pigeonholed (and by the early ’90s, had fully infiltrated the mainstream) – merging metal, funk, alternative, punk, country, roots rock, and experimental music, along with Claypool’s penchant for witty and often humorous storytelling lyrics.

Coheed and Cambria recently shared a rare stand-alone track, “The Joke.” The new song sprang from the Vaxis II LP sessions, and the band was happy for it to finally see the light of day. “The Joke” is available everywhere digitally via Evil Ink / Virgin Music
“The meaning behind ‘The Joke,’” said singer Claudio Sanchez, “is basically, if you need a punching bag, I’ll be that guy.” The song is coupled with a video where we find one of Coheed’s The Amory Wars universe’s fan favorite characters “Al The Killer” being bullied by a nefarious prankster.
