After a three-year hiatus, bassist/singer Les Claypool and guitarist Larry LaLonde regrouped last fall with original drummer Tim Alexander – who left in 1996 – for a new EP/DVD and tour. Each show featured an opening set of assorted songs from the band’s repertoire followed by a full performance of the band’s 1991 album Sailing The Seas Of Cheese.

Word is, the upcoming shows will follow the same format. In addition, Primus will continue to make each performance available for purchase within 48 hours on www.primuslive.com.

Dates for the new leg run from February 24 in Kansas City through March 13, when the tour will wrap at Washington, D.C.’s DAR Constitution Hall.
