Les Claypool is in Toronto this evening as part of the current Primus tour. While these shows will wrap up on December 9 at the Mesa Amphitheatre in Phoenix, Claypool is not done for the year. On December 31 he will host Les Claypool’s New Year’s Eve Hatters Ball which will take place in Santa Rosa, CA at the Grace Pavilion in Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Also confirmed to join Claypool and His Fancy Band is the New Orleans Social Club (which, to remind you, features

George Porter, Jr., Leo Nocentelli, Ivan Neville, Henry Butler and Raymond Weber). The nights activities also will include the Most Original Hat Contest along with the usual high grade midnight antics.
