Thoughts? Are they worth seeing? They are playing this Friday night in Tempe at a small venue, the Marque Theater and I am wondering if I should go.
I have not really listened to them so I would be going without knowing any of their music. What bands are they similar in style to?

Thats how much I know, I didn't know it was one dude.
I assume he has a full band with him? I have heard the name over the years, just never really tried listening to the music.

he'll have a full band with him.
he puts on a great show, but his music definitely isn't for everyone. I would suggest checking out his solo stuff or Primus (band he is known for) before going to the show |

Been a Primus/Les fan for years. GO. As was suggested, check out some solo (you may get 1 primus song if lucky) stuff for sure. Great/very unique artist.

His new album - Of Fungi and Foe, is fairly weird for my standards, but after a few listens it's growing on me. Songs that stand out to me: Booneville
Stomp, Primed by 29, Ol' Rosco

I like Red State Girl....and
She got dirt up under her fingernails She got lint down between her toes She got paint above her eyeballs and Powder on and up in her nose She got tits made out of recycled bottles Her hair flipped up in a twirl She wants to grow up to be Sarah Palin She's a self-proclaimed bonafide red state girl He likes the Redskins rather than foreskins He got a tattoo of Budweiser frogs He got Sears tools since he can't afford Snap-On Spent his money on a pedigree huntin' dog He's a poor man stuck in a poor man's body And he shot his very first squirrel He's got a naked picture of Sarah Palin Looking for a self-proclaimed bonafide red state girl Bow de de bow bow Bow de de bow bow |
