It made me have to think about what I’m doing to create rhythms using all this stuff." Promotion Putting all these things together, I just had all these different sounds to work with them. To tie in with the album's Wonka theme, Primus began selling exclusive chocolate "Primus Bars" at live performances. The varieties are named after Primus songs: " Mr. Krinkle Bars" and "Pork Soda Bars" (from Pork Soda), "Professor Nutbutter Bars" (from Tales from the Punchbowl), and "Bastard Bars". "The tour and the album are solely a marketing tool just so we can sell candy bars," jokes Claypool. "That's the whole impetus of this entire project. Because the fucking recording industry rolled over and let this Internet shit all over us. So we had to come up with another income stream, so we're making chocolate bars because you can’t digitize a chocolate bar - yet." On Hollywood, limited edition 'Pork Soda' bars were available. The last live performance of the album, September 19, 2015, was a live Pay-Per-View event on Īll tracks are written by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley, arranged by Les Claypool (bass), Larry LaLonde (guitar), Tim "Herb" Alexander (percussion). In early 2015, Primus' official website announced Primus and the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble Deluxe Edition to be released on April 28, 2015.

The highlight was the pair of Oompa Loompas with oversized heads that marched in from each side of the stage and bobbed in unison during the multiple “Oompa” songs during the second half of the set.

The first set was a who’s who of Primus favorites, including opener “Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers,” a jammed out “Frizzle Fry,” and weather appropriate “My Name Is Mud.” As always, Mr Claypool included a bit of banter between a few songs, noting how lucky we are to have Red Rocks in our back yards, and wondering out loud whether he should play an upbeat song to warm the crowd up or something more trippy on account of Colorado’s legal weed status, before ripping into “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” to close out the set.

Fired up fans packed into Red Rocks and stayed through consistent heavy rain that fell throughout the night, with a nearly full house until the last notes of the encore closing “Here Come The Bastards.” There was also a 100% chance that this would be a weird show, even for Primus. That was the chance of rain at Red Rocks last Thursday for the closing night of Primus’ first round of Wonka tour dates. Now they’ve taken the whole thing out on the road, performing the album in it’s entirety along with a full set of original Primus songs each night.ġ00%. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Primus is the band that did it, releasing Primus & The Chocolate Factory with The Fungi Ensemble last October.
