“Primus will take to the road on 9/14 for 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 – including a complete performance of Frizze Fry on September 16th.” -FromLesClaypool.com
