Primusis a rock band band formed in California in the mid-1980s by two ex-members of thrash band Blind Illusion by Les Claypooland Larry LaLonde. Larry's band before Blind Illusion was death metal pioneers Possessed. Les (vocals and bass guitar) has been the only constant member. They have had two guitar players (although Larry has held onto the role for the past 16 years) and many different drummers (although Tim Alexander and Bryan "Brain" Mantia were the only ones who recorded with the band, and Jay Lane, the only other one who had creative impact) in the past. Their music has proven difficult to define; while usually considered by critics to be funk-metalor alternative metal, Primus has been called everything from " thrash funk" (as the band blends funk-style bass technique with thrash influenced guitar riffs and songs tempos), to " alternative rock" to "the Freak Brothers set to music." Les Claypool himself once described their music as " psychedelic polka." Thanks to the diversity of their sound they have been able to gain fans from nearly all rock subgenres.

Hello mr. krinkle
How are you today?
Seems the rumors are about your team might move away
Now, me i'm sentimental
But i'm not one to cry
Say there mr. krinkle let's cruise the bastard boat
Damn then sonsabitches with their gill-nets set afloat
I flip on my tele and i watch the waters die
C'mon mr. krinkle tell me why
Hey ho mr. krinkle have you heard the brand new sound
It's a cross between jimi hendrix
Bocephus, cher and james brown
It's called "heavy hometown"
New wave, cold-filtered, low-calorie dry
C'mon mr. krinkle tell me why
