It was a rainy day on Thursday, May 28, when Les Claypool came through Kansas City with his triad of musical misfits at Starlight Theater. The “Les is more” tour is a night of a combination of Claypool’s bands: Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and of course, Primus. Dubbed the Les Claypool Gold Tour, it was to be a night of multiple musicians joining forces to jam the night away.
