John the Fisherman Napa 7/4
From the balcony of my hotel room, peasants. 😉
Got bored and decided to make a “Logo” for Hoffer
I snapped a photo at one of the shows on their most recent tour with John’s kit reflecting in his glasses. I thought it was a neat concept for a logo. Here’s what I came up with.
Note: AI helped me execute the concept. I know that’ll bug some people but I can’t draw worth a damn.
If anyone from Primus or their management see this. Please make a deal with nugs.net. Thanks.

Claypool Gold posters--a sucky review.
Now that the dust is settling on the excellent Claypool Gold musical extravaganza, I would like to take the opportunity and evaluate the posters. Each city gets one, and some are better than others. Just a quick best/worst list.
Best
St. Louis--bugged out American Gothic! St. Lou has been getting some good posters in recent years. The wonkey catfish from '24 is a personal fave.
Peltham, TN--love the orange and light blue contrast.
North Charleston--Cage captures the essence of 'tool for hillbillies'. And a wonkey catfish always helps the cause.
Dillon, CO (first night I think)--A wonkey diamondback sturgeon!
Long Beach--the purple dragon is cool.
Honorable mention: Napa. I would love to have that on the wall.
Not Best
Phoenix-I just don't get it.
Portland, Maine--It just looks minor league.
Missoula, Montana--see minor league comment above.
Atlanta, GA--I can't figure out what I'm looking at. Its a no.
Reno, NV--The tour starts out with a clunker.
The wife and I attended the Irving, TX show, and I got one of the posters. I'd say it is a mid range poster for this tour. I like the orange accents.
Star Spangler Banner snippet from 4th of July Show
Anyone know if he still has that shirt?
High time I posted these. Custom frames for Claypool Gold VIP and Summer Of Green 2023 VIP posters.
Are we getting a new years eve show?
My body is ready. Just announce it already!
Photo of Les’s Neve/API preamps
I’ve seen a few people ask for photos of Claypool’s rig. This was shot last night at the July 4th Napa show. I couldn’t see his pedals but got a pretty clear view of the Neve/API preamps.
Asked politely and managed to get a setlist from Napa. What a great show.
Claypool Gold 2027: Sausage/Holy Mackerel/Primus
Sausage:
Les
Todd Huth
Jay Lane
Holy Mackerel:
Les
MIRV Haggard
Bob Cock (Adam Gates)
Bryan “Brain” Mantia
Primus:
Les
Larry “Ler” LaLonde
John “Hoffer” Hoffman
One can dream… Imagine the sit-ins during the Primus set? Still have Hoffman be the predominant drummer (because he’s absolutely killing it) but one Brown/Antipop song a set with Brain and one Naugahyde tune with Jayski per set, and then a massive encore with 3 drummers on stage. I personally thought that Holy Mackerel sounded great at the 2024 Claypool Gold shows.
Dillon CO
What a night, i took this from night one, who got the setlist from night 2, opening with too many puppies is WILD work
