Bassist Les Claypool hits the road on Wednesday in support of his latest album, Of Fungi and Foe, for a month-long tour that takes him across the country. Billed as the Oddity Faire, Claypool is heading on the road with a band featuring Mike Dillon [Percussion], Paulo Baldi [Drums] and Sam Bass [Cello] with additional support from Claypool friends’ Yard Dogs Road Show, Muytaytor, Saul Williams, Secret Chief 3, Devotchka as well as O’Death.

The Oddity Faire kicks off in San Diego on Wednesday before moving on to Las Vegas on Friday and the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday.
