Claypool Sets 2008 Tour

4/4 @ the wiltern - see you there!!!

word up! see ya at the ogden!

have seen skerik and dillon a few times together on stage.

great wierdness developed. toss in Les and it's a voltron of awesome wierdness!

they need a name on this...hmmmm.

The Flying Go-Go Taint would be great for al involved.

Where's the northeast love?

Did anyone who lives in Buffalo see the full page ad in Artvoice for Les playing at the Town Ballroom?

It appears we were tricked.

I guess thats okay, if I were him I wouldn't come to Buffalo in February either.

Maybe the lack of Northeast dates means summer in the Northeast, including a whole bunch of those New Jersey Festivals that seem to be springing up ...? Gathering too of course. But yea, where's the NYC and/or Boston gigs at least ...?

Mide D is the man!!

i'll be at chicago! can't wait to see this trio do its thing. it's been too long since i've seen les! would love to see if some guest musicians drop in to jam...

Originally, there was a Maryland Heights, Mo date posted on his website. Now that has been changed to Kansas City, Mo. This sucks! Looks like I will be making the trek up to Milwaukee and chicago.

dude cant wait to see les at lango, seen him last year at lango, at allgood, and echo project, sick is the only word to describe him.....cant wait!!!!

WHy did they cancel the NEW YORK SHOW?

I saw posted on jambase that he was coming to baltimore and now it's not on here anymore either

Feb 28>>Toads Place-Richmond, VA

bah, no MN love, at least not yet, 10klf??

yay for 2 NC dates! Good venues too...

I was just talking the other day about how I needed a little Les in my life, and he goes and schedules a little Colorado love. Awesome.

By the way, theres a few additional dates on les' website that are not posted in this story.

Thinking about going to one of the nc shows, but does everyone think he is gonna play the same set they've been playing for like the past 3 years. If so I dunno if it's worth it for me to go. btw les needs to bring on Primus!

once again, i hope this is only the initaial leg of the tour

alright TOMA way to keep things positive....

- see you guys in Diego/LA

very disappointing to see a lack in northeast love.

City Hall is the perfect place for a Les show in Music City. Jerry was a racecar driver, he drove to @#$ #$%@ fast!

Les, Come on man its called the North East and people who want to see your interesting style live there.

More Les! More Les! More Les!

hmmm.. sax, bass, and vibes??? what a strange trio!!!!

Someone please tell me why people avoid new england. When did boston become one of those "if we have time" cities?? Its in the to 5 biggest cities in the country and bands treat us like were in fucking siberia or something. Go fuck yourself les... Its time to have a huge fest in the nh... gathering isnt cutting it... i want something in limestone or VT or even in the crappy state of mass... Is our money no good??

bring that freaky love to baltimore/philly....better yet Harrisburg!

Just wait until he shows you the abilities of his newly modified bionic pinky. I'll be at the orange peel if my job allows me to keep the rest of my soul.

heck yeah johhny!

The Go-Go Flying Taint baby!

March 10th just added at the end of the tour as well (Monday, March 10th in Kansas City, MO

Skerik and Mike Dillon are geniuses. Dead Kenny G's was a helluva show

no philly shows, that sucks

he had a bunch of stops scheduled in the northeast buffalo was one as was cleveland, for some reason he cancelled all dates before feb 29th, les is a busy man ya know, but i mean a full page ad for his show got me a little excited, i even went super early to get tix, to find out the show was cancelled, at least i didnt but the tix then have to get my money back, thats ok, ill see him at langerado anyway!

anyone catch les claypool and the rat brigade at the vibes last summer, that was worth it right there to see claypool with bobby!!!!

touring as:

Flying Go-Go Taint (Syncopated Flying Go-Go also acceptable)

or

A Prime' Critters Jungle

Claypool is great with Primus or at festivals when he can be a special guest PERIOD He was OK with Oysterhead (more shock value than greatness.) I saw him at Stubb's in Austin last year and while the crowd seemed into it the show was not that good. At least he dropped Gabby La-La from this tour which could make a huge improvement. My thought is if Les is standing on the stage and is not gonna SLAP THAT BASS AROUND what's the point in spending $35??

being from ia, i can't expect les to drop this way; but i love him enough to make it to chicago or denver. see you all there. it's gonna be a great experience!

Will there be a drummer?

Mike D plays drums also.

The "trio" is someone's pipe dream speculation. Paulo Baldi is touring with Les as drummer.

Hmmm... Saw Les, Dillon, and Skerik @ the Echo Project in Oct and he named the band "The Fancy Trio". Dillon kicked ass on the drum kit. Should make for a good tour & studio album. I like "Critters Suck" for a pipe dream.

2 Colorado shows!!! w00000t!!!!!!

saw claypool at the orangepeel, nc., it was awesome. one of the best shows ive seen in a long time. 2 1/2 hour show. 2 encores. awesomeness, sore from dancing.
