Primus - Kiss My Bead Bloated Ass [Demos]

Primus began as Primate in El Sobrante, California during the mid-1980s with singer and bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Todd Huth. When another band called "Primate" threatened legal action, the group decided to change their name. Claypool selected Primus after looking up the word directly next to "Primate" in a dictionary. The word is Latin, meaning "chief" or "first".


After rising to local music scene stardom with their brand of funk metal fusion, Huth left in 1989 to pursue other projects. Claypool then recruited former Blind Illusion bandmate and one time Joe Satriani student Larry "Ler" LaLonde, and eclectic drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander. Claypool and LaLonde recorded and toured with the early thrash band Blind Illusion. Larry LaLonde was previously a member of the seminal Death/Thrash Metal band Possessed.
