Four Foot Shack

Here’s Les Claypool’s latest incarnation: he and M.I.R.V. guitarist Bryan Kehoe playing stripped down, zany wacky bizarre treatments of Primus stuff and a handful of kickass covers, all with a bass, a guitar, and a stompboard w/ tambourine. It doesn’t stray far from the Primus we all know, but the sound’s obviously a bit different. Some funkiness, a bit of psychedelia trance, some odd country flair, with fantastic jammy phrases. This stuff KILLS!!!! FCC’s #2, #12.
