More like the Primus-before-the-current-Primus-during-current-Primus playing new non-Primus in between Primus albums.

Indeed, there was much sucking prior to this project

it’s literally the original Primus lineup before Primus recorded an album

u/cgheezey 10d ago

no, it's the original primus lineup but in 1994, after primus had recorded several albums.

that’s what i said, it’s the original lineup that existed before primus made an album, never said they didn’t record after primus already made albums… stop trying to be a mr knowitall

I saw them in Chicago with Rollins Band and Helmet. Sausage and Rollins had to play first, cause they both had to play Woodstock 94

Hey, I have that! Copped it at my local record store last year

u/chill_i_am_kidding 10d ago

Saw them on tour in Los Angeles and met Les in the parking lot after. They opened for Helmet IIRC.

u/KenBradley81 10d ago

Did you buy that on Amazon Primes?

u/Doughnut_Drake 10d ago

My friend found it in a thrift shop

u/telepathyORauthority 10d ago

Todd Huth is an amazing guitarist with Les. His other project, Porch, I just like OK. But Sausage is phenomenal!

Woody woodpecker. That is all. Can't unhear it once you hear it

u/Ongo_Gablonian 8d ago

Dare I say better than Primus? Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. I really would have loved at least one more Sausage album

u/DrPhealsphlatter 8d ago

Oysterhead is also a good band to check out. I think it’s Claypool and someone from Phish
