Biography
The origins of the band can be traced back to the 2002 Bonaroo Festival in Manchester, TN. Praxis (whose members included Worrell, Mantia and Buckethead) were scheduled to perform, but were standed when head honcho Bill Laswell didn't show up. Claypool, who was scheduled to play with his Frog Brigade later that day, ended up joining the trio for an impromptu, on-stage jam session. The show was a success. Despite originally being conceived as a one-off project, the "band" had created a buzz. After a successful mini-tour of the Bay Area (after after finishing other projects with artists such as Tom Waits), the quartet finally cut their first and, so far, only album, The Big Eyeball In The Sky.
