Win tickets to Primus and the Chocolate Factory

      Although Primus originally formed in 1984, it was not until shortly before the end of the decade that the aforementioned classic line-up was solidified.

      With most hard rock/heavy metal acts at the time either neatly falling into either "thrash" or "glam" categories, Primus joined a variety of underground bands that refused to be pigeonholed (and by the early '90s, had fully infiltrated the mainstream)—merging metal, funk, alternative, punk, country, roots rock, and experimental music, along with Claypool's penchant for witty and often humorous storytelling lyrics.

      Building a large and loyal following first in and around San Francisco, Primus kicked things off with a string of releases that are now considered classic alt-rock titles—1989's Suck on This, 1990's Frizzle Fry, 1991's Sailing the Seas of Cheese, 1993's Pork Soda, and 1995's Tales from the Punchbowl
