wasn\'t Mr Bungle a primus offshoot? I know they were funky. I had a friend 15 years ago who was briefly in one of those bands...Primus always sounded like Les Claypool was throwing his bass down the stairs to me.. but what do I know?

to be honest, things seems to going v well for me at the mo!!!
lost my job at the summer... was a crap job, working in a music store.... nothing to do with what i went to colleg for (engineering), took it as a stop gap, and some how got stuck there for almost 5 years... was fun at first, not so much after...
now am a carpenter....lol, still nothing to do with what i went to college for, doing loft conversions, seesm all good fun, and like working hard... pays pretty good, and will only go up the longer i have been there...
might be getting sent to college once a week after xmas!
have meta really nice woman... only been together about 2 months, but knew her in school, though hadnt seen her for ages... and bumped into her out during the summer, went out a few times with her a afew of her mates (some i knew) and one night , stuff happend!!
only lil prob is the place im living,
not to bad, was living witha mate, but he decided to buya house... so i had to move out, and was during the time i didnt have a job for about 2 months, so hard to look for new place... its coming up to xmas now, so maybe after ill move ou somewhere, but gotta find someone to move with, once i geta bit of a payrise, gonna start thinking about buying a house and all that
sorry if that makes no sense, or is way more than you wanted to know... but eh.... what you gonna do

Claypool has a couple other bands that you might like.
One is called "Sausage" I think.

Have you tried Primus? It is my understanding, that nothing sounds more like Primus.

Look for some bands and albums featuring Bootsy Collins. I recommend this album to start with:
Eventually Les Claypool recorded an album with some of the musicians from Praxis, and it\'s very good:

Man, are they ever young in that video. Awesome band, and incredible over-driven bass tone.
