Primus will hit the road on August 28, where they'll be playing Rush's 1977 album A Farewell To Kings in full. To make sure he's really got the bass parts right, Les Claypool has been seemingly taking lessons from Rush bassist Geddy Lee. Or as Claypool puts it, "learning from the master."
The tour will be opened by The Sword, Battles, and Black Mountain depending on which date you go to.
