We are gathered here today in the majestic halls of old to honor an album called “Frizzle Fry.” That’s right fans, despite being plagued by insecurity, and having minds numbed by too many puppies, our overaged hosts will attempt to analyze Primus’ 1990 debut studio album. We dig into a band that truly defies the laws of tradition in their sound and approach, and yet still managed to become shockingly popular throughout the 90s. Join us as we call old Swamp up on the telephone and sift through their difficult to pin down music—borrowing liberally from 70s funk, prog rock, and metal—and discuss how their unique eclecticism was embraced by jam band stans while also influencing an array of alternative and metal bands of the late 90s/2000s. We also talk about how their ability to appeal to diverse music communities can create interesting sonic bedfellows. Finally, listen along to find out if Joe can suppress his exuberance for Primus and successfully eat a carrot. But be warned, this episode is a crusade only of the brave.
Be sure to support the artists by purchasing "Frizzle Fry" on iTunes or wherever you get your music.
