Frankie takes us back to the Jay Lane days of 2013 with this edition of LSD, which serves as a fine example of the adventurous and imaginative spirit of Jay's second tenure with Primus. This show was near the tail-end of the 3D tour which featured an evening with Primus and a wide-open songbook. This show contains numerous tracks that we do not much see anymore, and it stokes hope that they'll come back round as Hoffer masters a second wave of songs. You can find this recording at toasterland.com - simply search for Tucson 2013!Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money 

Primus invaded Europe to throngs of joyous concert-goers who couldn't seem to get enough of the band, which stands to reason as it's been heaps of time since Primus last played the continent. They hit some places from the past, including returning to a venue for the first time in 35 years, and performed in some new cities across 15 shows in 11 countries. We have all the details!WERE YOU THERE? If you went to a show in Europe, please share your review with us! [email protected] involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money

Primus made numerous radio appearnces throughout the 90s and into the 21st century. Two standout radio appearances are the 1989 KZSU at Stanford University and 1990 at VPRO in the Netherlands. The Stanford performance is well-known for the accompanying video footage, and the VPRO performance also has two of the songs performed on video as well. Perhaps someday we'll see and hear both performances with pristine audio quality. For now, we treat them as companion pieces to Suck On This (KZSU) and Frizzle Fry (VPRO). KZSU: https://youtu.be/iIMh_2KH6MYVPRO: https://youtu.be/OoUqOFtLeFQGet involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money

CLD gave us an EPPP of four cover tunes in 2017, three of which had been performed live on the previous tour. We sample the originals, discuss some of the circumstances of the bands being covered, and compare to the CLD effort. Overall, it's a rewarding piece that might expand your musical pallette.
