Les Claypool goes on 'Whale' of a tour

Primus frontman/bassist Les Claypool is backing his recently released solo album, "Of Whales and Woe," with a summer run on the US club circuit, and will also slip one-off shows with Primus and long-dormant side project Oysterhead into the mix.

Briefly: Oysterhead, Lou Reed, Lollapalooza, Willie Nelson

Oysterhead--an occasional collaboration of ex-Phish frontman/guitarist Trey Anastasio, Primus bassist Les Claypool and ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeland--have joined the bill of this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

Review: Oysterhead in Berkeley, Calif.

BERKELEY, Calif.--The mother of all jam-band supergroups hit the Greek Theatre at the University of California, Berkeley on Friday night (10/26) with the subtlety of a fireworks show. Expectations were high and so were the scalpers' asking prices.

Interview: Stewart Copeland of Oysterhead

The Police broke up at the top of the mountain in 1985, but that didn't dissuade drummer Stewart Copeland from continuing a fruitful playing-composing career. Copeland left the rock world and focused his attention on orchestral maneuvers, scoring ballet ("King Lear"), television ("The Equalizer") and film ("Leopard Son," "Gridlock," "Rumblefish").

New Releases, Oct. 2: Elton John, Ja Rule, Garbage

plus: Billie Holiday, Oysterhead, Bela Fleck, Billy Joel, more.

Oysterhead plans fall album release and tour

Oysterhead--a jam-band supergroup of sorts that includes Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, Primus bassist Les Claypool and ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeland--will tour this fall to support its debut album.
