Bass-master extraordinaire Les Claypool and his legendary prog band Primus, have just announced show dates for the 2nd Annual Oddity Faire kicking off September 14, 2010. Claypool stated in a 2009 a press release that Oddity Faire, “Dwelled outside the box and broke beyond the parameters set by the safe pallet of the mainstream…Having trod the stages of such events as Lollapalooza, Woodstock ’94, Reading, Bonnaroo, etc., I’ve come to realize that there really hasn’t been an event that truly represented the type of creative individual that I am kin to.”
Performers rotate by region as this multifaceted event progressives through the tour, so be sure to check the line-up for your specific date as no two shows will be exactly alike.
Confirmed Performers for Oddity Fair Include:
Primus
Mariachi el Bronx
Portugal The Man
Split Lip Rayfield
Official Press Release From Les Claypool
“Primus will take to the road this fall as part of the 2nd Annual Oddity Faire. The Oddity Faire is a freak show like no other and this year the tour starts off with a stop in Sacramento, and promises to get really strange with a special two night stand at the Club Nokia in downtown LA. The Oddity Faire will head up through the Northwest and come to Canada for the first time before returning to the states for some dates into October. Primus will be joined by some great bands such as Mariachi el Bronx, Portugal. The Man and Split Lip Rayfield. Keep an eye out for more dates to come and all the info on the Oddity Faire in your town.”
