Frontman Les Claypool commented:

“Hitting the road this summer with Hoffer at the helm! This fiery, cheerful, octopus-like drummer from Shreveport, Louisiana has breathed a very potent breath of freshness into this band we all call Primus.

While splitting the drum duties of his first gig with the mighty Danny Carey down in the Dominican Republic, John ‘Hoffer’ Hoffman has launched himself into the Primus world with all guns-a-blazin’.

Fresh from their next jaunt around the states with ‘Sessanta Part 2′ this spring, Hoffer, Ler, and The Ol’ Colonel will be playing some full-length Primus sets at choice venues across the U.S., dipping into material (mainly at the request of Hoffer) that have not been performed in a many years.

Come see why this amazing fellow was able to rise above over 6100 applicants to win the Interstellar Drum Derby and become the latest, and possibly the greatest, drummer to sit on the Primus drum throne. ONWARD AND UPWARD!!”
