Release Notes:

Les Claypool, the funky weird-rock bass god of Primus, has a new solo album
called "Of Whales And Woe" arriving on May 30, 2006.

Though billed as a solo record, Claypool’s forthcoming disc will feature members
of the bassist's "Fancy Band," including Gabby La La, Mike Dillon and Skerik.
According to Claypool, the disc recalls his Holy Mackerel record, which found
the virtuoso performing on a number of different instruments. "It is a lot of
stuff that I’ve accumulated," Claypool tells Jambands.com. "Purple Onion was me
writing some songs and then bringing the band in to perform those songs. This
record is more of me banging on the drums, playing the bass, playing some guitar
and then bringing people like Mike and Skerik into to fulfill certain parts."
Several of Of Whales And Woe’s tracks will be familiar to fans of Claypool's
live show including "Phantom Patriot."
