Les Claypool, the Primus frontman, is coming to Seattle with a new tour, the Oddity Faire: A Mutated Mini Fest.
It looks like the show’s lineup doesn’t quite live up to its intriguing name. Other dates feature groups like Devotchka, a band that just played Seattle on New Year’s Eve. According to the Showbox SoDo, however, the Seattle stop only feature’s two other acts, Saul Williams and the Yard Dogs Road Show.
Granted, Williams has some hype behind him.
In 2007, he released a concept album, “The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust.” The album, produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, blended hip-hop with industrial rock. Some loved the album, but it was it a tough listen. The album didn’t find a home on a major label, so Reznor and Williams self-released the sucker, to middling commercial success.
Anyway, read on for presale info to Claypool’s show, along with a handful of other indie rock concerts making their way to Seattle.
