It was written by bandleader Les Claypool, with illustrations from his son Cage Claypool and Abimael Hernandez.

Earlier in 2024, alternative metal outfit Primus announced an open casting call for a new drummer. It was a bittersweet deal, sadly. Longtime drummer Tim Alexander had left the band quite suddenly.

Tool‘s Maynard Keenan celebrated his 60th birthday back in April by taking two of his projects, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, on tour with Primus, and they’re keeping the celebration going into 2025.

Primus is three decades deep into its career of absurdist funk-rock, and if you don’t “get” the band by now, you never will. That said, Les Claypool and Co. have only grown easier to digest with age.
