Catch Les Claypools Duo De Twang this Saturday (6/7) at the Great American Music Hall! Les Claypool has an amazing eye for weirdness. His band Primus has made a decades-long career out of defying every possible genre classification, wearing monkey masks onstage, and naming their albums things like Pork Soda and Sailing the Seas of Cheese. Now Claypool is going the opposite direction, creating the most minimalist, deconstructed music possible, with one vocal, one bass, one guitar, and one makeshift percussion tool — but dont worry, its still bizarre. In his Duo De Twang, which was originally organized as a one-off for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, Claypool teams up with longtime buddy and collaborator Bryan Kehoe to play originals and tasty twang covers (including the Bee Gees and Alice in Chains). The show promises down-to-earth, intimate weirdness, plus seriously incredible musicianship. - Haley Zaremba / San Francisco Bay Guardian
