It's crazy how if you ask most people on earth who and what Primus is, they'll tell you all about the South Park theme song, but ignore the eight albums of groundbreaking experimentation that Les Claypool and friends have thrown at us over the last quarter-century. Last year, the SF trio went to possibly the strangest place to date: an album covering the soundtrack to 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. On the 14-track album, the band reimagined the already creepy cinematic classic and took to darker, even-more-warped places. Based on previous live performances of this elaborate experiment, you should expect psychedelic staging, unnerving costumes and a magnificent attention to detail. Full disclosure: This might turn into one of the weirdest nights of your life. Rae Alexandra
