 A LETTER FROM LES...
 Ahoy there all, I just wanted to thank everyone for the support my nephew Matthew has received over the last year. It has been amazing how many folks have put forth the effort to help my brother and his family. Unfortunately, just at a time when he's learning to walk, little Matthew has had a major relapse and is back at Stanford Medical Center for treatment. To see what this little guy has gone through these last twelve months has been heart wrenching and to think he has to go through it again is just beyond comprehension. Matthew will undergo an intense round of chemotherapy this month in the hope of getting his blood levels back to a status where he can receive a bone marrow transplant. As far as a donor, we have decent options within the family but there could potentially be a better match out there somewhere. If anyone is inclined, check out: marrow.org for information on how to see if they are good match for Little Matthew or others in the same terrible situation. It is a simple procedure to test and the program has saved a lot of lives. Thanks again for the support,  PRIMUS IN BROOKLYN - Special Intimate 2 Set Show & Jimmy Fallon Performance

A big thank you to everyone who helped support this important cause.  THE PRIMUS POSTER SERIES - Summer 2011 Tour
We wanted to take a moment and thank all of the awesome Poster Artists from the summer tour, each who designed a unique poster for every date and venue that we played. Once drawn and designed, the posters were hand silkscreened (and linocut) by various master printers from Oakland to Chicago, and Tennessee to Paris. Each poster was very limited (100-150 per show) and every last poster sold out. Each artist received some personal copies to sell (many of which have also sold out) but you might check on their sites (listed below) to see if any remain. Here is a link to more information about the series with direct links to each artist's poster and website. Thanks to everyone who helped make this series so successful.

Les Claypool's album "Of Fungi and Foe" is his latest album of all original music. This album is a collection of songs inspired by the projects he has been working on over the past few years, and also contains a jam session with Eugene Hütz the charismatic front-man of the band Gogol Bordello that turned into the track "Bite Out Of Life". Other musicians who appear on the cd include Lapland Miclovik, Mike Dillon, Sam Bass, Paulo Baldi, Cage Claypool, and Bryonn Bain. "Sometime back I was commissioned to write soundtrack music for two projects that promised to have quite a bit of very intense and unique imagery. One was for an interactive game about a meteor that hits Earth and brings intelligence to the mushrooms within the crash proximity and the other was about a three thousand pound wild boar that terrorizes the marijuana fields of Northern California. Obviously the makers of the subsequent MUSHROOM MEN game and PIG HUNT film were very aware of my tastes and perspectives because the music oozed from me in such a natural way that I believe it came as much from my pores as it did my mind. This music became the foundation of the songs that fill this collection. With a few added tidbits and a bit of gypsy sauce, I inflict upon you... OF FUNGI AND FOE" – Les Claypool Track List: 1.
