Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade

After over 20 years, Les Claypool has regrouped his Fearless Flying Frog for The Hunt for Green October Tour. Long considered to be one of the animated bassist’s most beloved bands, this incarnation of the ever-morphing act boasts longtime Frog Brigade members Skerik (saxophone) and Mike Dillon (percussion, vibraphone), as well as Sean Lennon (guitar), Harry Waters (keyboards) and Paulo Baldi (drums). The regrouping comes just over a decade after the Frog Brigade issued their lone album, Purple Onion, which Tom Waits heralded as one of his favorite records of all time.

Initially conceived during Claypool’s short break from Primus in the early 2000s, the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade quickly became known as one of the bassist’s most creative and improvisational outfits. Throughout their Summer of Green Tour, the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade will deliver a mix of original material and choice covers from throughout Claypool’s rich catalog. The group will also perform Pink Floyd’s 1977 psychedelic masterpiece, Animals—a staple on their original run—nightly.
