Oysterhead
Biography
Comprised of the unlikely trio of Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, and Stewart Copeland (of Phish, Primus, and Police fame, respectively), the supergroup Oysterhead first came together for an intended one-off gig at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in May 2000. The chemistry between the three musicians was immediate, and the sold-out performance went off so well that the trio decided to pursue their partnership further, eventually entering Anastasio's Vermont recording studio in April 2001 to begin work on an album. The end result, The Grand Pecking Order, was released in October 2001, followed by a supporting tour of North America. ~ Steve Bekkala, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
I have to say I love this even more than Primus, It's a great groove with the unique quality of Les Claypool on bass

good stuff for those afternoons when you got a bit of green to spend on some green if ya know what i mean
|

Primus Sucks! Oysterhead's pretty dope too.
Why hate on Ringo? he wasn't doing anything too impressive, but his kinda lazy fills fit the beatles music pretty well. I can't imagine anyone else drumming for them. Ringo's an inescapable piece of the beatles sound. |
||
Hey Guy whether you like them or not Primus DOES NOT SUCK it is a term of endearment to Les from the old days. That is the end of that discussion thread.
|
||
Hell Yeah!!!! Les Claypool and Steward Copeland, in the same band. Yes!!!! And Primus doesn't suck.
|
||
What are you talking about? Primus Sucks!
jshigginboth a m says: annoying and primus dont belong in the same sentence thats the stuff to trip to |
||
I love the fact you can tell which artist wrote each song. Never gets old. It's like The Beatles, you can tell when Paul wrote the song or if it was John. Every album you have the crap from Ringo
|
||
come on claypools so funky groovy that all bass players got respect for even if the style aint the same its about progresion
|
||
annoying and primus dont belong in the same sentence thats the stuff to trip to
|
||
Very true, doc.
Dr. Teeth and Electric Mayhem says: 02-02-2008 Wow, it's a little like Primus, but more annoying. |
||
yup... was at a show... Rochester I think... wore that T-shirt til' it was ventilated.
|
||
Nice - I never knew about this - thanks for, once again, bringing something new my way. PRIMUS ROCKS!!!
