Get ready to yell "Primus sucks!" because, yes,Les Claypool has reactivated the band and they're heading back on the road this summer after a four-year absence. The iconic alternative group, which once encouraged their fans to yell "Primus sucks!" as a way of chiding them into an encore, will kick things off in Toronto on July 27. They'll bring gypsy punks Gogol Bordello with them for most dates but will then cross the finish line on August 15 in Santa Barbara, Calif. with Wolfmother in support. Primus is also scheduled to perform at this year's Gathering of the Vibes festival in Bridgeport, Ct. on July 31.That's super exciting news and all but we've saved the best for last: Primus plans to release a new album sometime next year. A press release states that this tour will help the band "refine their chops before heading into the studio to record their first album of brand new music since 1999's 'Antipop.'"
We imagine that they'll do an encore even if the crowd doesn't yell "Primus sucks!" But, you know -- better play it safe.
