Primus vocalist/bassist Les Claypool will be issuing a new live EP from his Colonel Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade on May 22nd. This four-song effort will feature extended live performances of tracks taken from throughout Claypool‘s past solo output and pairings, including a live rendition of “D’s Diner” from his 2014 Duo de Twang project with Bryan Kehoe of M.I.R.V..
The featured recordings were captured during The Fearless Flying Frog Brigade‘s 2023 ‘Hunt For Green October Tour‘, with Claypool‘s bandmate in The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Sean Lennon, and more backing him at the time.
“Return Of The Live Frogs: Volume 1” track listing:
01 – “Up On The Roof“
02 – “Phantom Patriot“
03 – “D’s Diner“
04 – “Cosmic Highway“
Pre-orders are available now through clubbastardo.com. Claypool has a very ambitious run on the road ahead of him at the moment. With the third album from The Claypool Lennon Delirium, “The Great Parrot-Ox And The Golden Egg Of Empathy“, headed for a May 01st release, Claypool will be fronting Primus, his aforementioned venture with Sean Lennon, and the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade nightly on the ‘Claypool Gold‘ tour.
