BiographyLeslie Edward Claypool (born September 29, 1963) is an American rock musician. He is the founder, lead singer, bassist, and primary songwriter of the band Primus.

He also fronts the experimental rock projects Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and Les Claypool's Fancy Band. He has self-produced and engineered several solo releases from his own studio, Rancho Relaxo, in California. In 2006, he wrote and directed the mockumentary Electric Apricot and released his debut novel South of the Pumphouse. He formed musical duos Duo de Twang (with Bryan Kehoe) and The Claypool Lennon Delirium (with Sean Lennon). He has also appeared in the TV show South Park in the intro and theme song.
