Whether it’s solo or with mutant-funk legends Primus or jam supergroup Oysterhead, virtuoso Les Claypool’s trailblazing style and unique vision have built a home for bass-nerds the whole world over. An expert at popping slap bass, he didn’t get a job replacing Cliff Burton in Metallica because he was “too good,” but his playing is only the tip of the iceberg. He’s a composer, author, filmmaker, and fisherman, and his relentless creativity has pushed him into every underpopulated corner of avant-garde and popular music. It’s nearly impossible to corner Claypool’s style, but he himself calls it the somehow appropriate “psychedelic polka.”
Les Claypool has also released music as a member of Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Beanpole, Sausage, Oysterhead, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, The Les Claypool Frog Brigade, Blind Illusion, Les Claypool and The Holy Mackerel, and Les Claypool's Duo De Twang.
