Last night, The Claypool Lennon Delirium made their live show debut at The Beacham in Orlando, FL. “I’m just excited about the bus,” said a cartoon version of guitarist Sean Lennon in a drawing on the setlist. The unlikely duo, comprised of the Beatles offspring and Primus bassist Les Claypool, have proved their psychedelic synchronicity in the release of their first record Monolith of Phobos, which came out a few days ago on Friday, June 3rd (read our review here).

Now, in their first ever live performance, which included ten of their twelve new songs, and some interesting, yet perhaps expected bust-out covers, proves even further how perfectly original these two are together. “I’m predicting that this show is going to be the greatest show of the entire tour,” Claypool explains toward the beginning of their dark room musical throwdown. Sprinkled throughout the set of Phobos were “Up On the Roof” by Colonel Les Claypool’s extinct Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, “Astronomy Domine” by Pink Floyd, “Tomorrow Never Knows” by The Beatles, and an encore of “Southbound Pachyderm” by Primus. The definitively psychedelic choices blended perfectly with the duo’s musicianship, as their collaborations are drenched in references about drug use and alternative mentalities.

Interestingly enough, the two hit it off when Lennon’s band, Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, opened for Primus on a number of tour dates last year and he sat in on “Southdown Pachyderm.” “I realized that this fella had some chops,” explained Claypool in a statement. “Primus was about to take some time off and I was gearing up a new project so I asked Sean if he’d like to come to Rancho Relaxo and see if we couldn’t get some interesting sounds on tape. Next thing I know he’s staying in my guesthouse over the holidays and we’re drinking vino, hunting mushrooms and throwing musical pasta at the walls.”
