Col. Claypool’s Bucket Of Bernie Brains — bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Buckethead, drummer Brain and keyboardist Bernie Worrell — will release its debut album, “The Big Eyeball in the Sky,” Sept. 7 via Claypool’s Prawn Song imprint. Claypool describes the band as “a traveling, oversized sock-puppet show spawned by the characters of a Tobe Hooper film and scored by Danny Elfman on bad acid.”
“The majority of the lyrics on this record were written at the onset of the Iraq confrontation” Claypool says, “so it was very difficult not to be influenced by the frustration and confusion that was felt by myself and the people around me — though somewhat dark, I tried to cloak my angst, conveying thoughts through the eyes of colorful and satirical characters.”
CCBBB will embark on its first tour in October.
