Dunlop artists and avant-rockers Primus released Green Naugahyde (ATO Records/Prawn Song) this week, their first album in 11 years.

They’re kicking off the Green Naugahyde tour on September 23rd at the Orpheum in Boston, stopping off at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, California for a special Halloween weekend show October 29, and wrapping it all up at London’s Royal Albert Hall on April 4th and 5th.

We sat down with singer/bassist Les Claypool to talk about his background and Dunlop Bass Strings. Check it out below.

These San Francisco Bay Area boys show their Dunlop support by playing Dunlop Strings, MXR, Way Huge, and Crybaby pedals.
