.Primus to Honor Rush on ‘Tribute to Kings’ Tour rushtheband
Rush’s influence on Primus is deep: The band’s 1989 debut release, the live “Suck on This” album, opens with a snippet of the Rush instrumental “YYZ” before shifting into Primus’ own “John the Fisherman.” Rush drummerOf the tour, Primus vocalist/bassist Les Claypool said, “A little over one year ago, [guitarist] Ler Lalonde and I started kicking the idea around of Primus performing a series of shows featuring an iconic Rush album from our youth.
“Geddy, Alex and Neil had been superheroes to Larry, Herb and I in our teens, so when we all became pals while touring together in the early ’90s, we were pretty delighted; partially because of the musical geek-out factor but mostly because the three guys whom we had admired so much from afar, turned out to be truly great, down-to-earth humans, and like us, a tad eccentric.
“The ‘Tribute to Kings’ tour will be just as it is implied, a respectful and loving tribute to three spectacular musicians, songwriters, legends and friends.” A Tribute to Kings kicks off in May and spans over 40 dates through August, including Bonnaroo Arts And Music Festival in Tennessee, New York City’s Beacon Theatre, LA’s Greek Theatre, and a Bay Area hometown show at Berkeley’s Greek Theater. Wolfmother will open the entire tour with additional support from The Sword and Battles.5/27 Houston, TX: Revention Music Center *^6/01 Asheville, NC: ExploreAsheville.
