Sausage is the original lineup of the California Bay Area group
Primus. Like
Primus, the group is led by bassist/vocalist
Les Claypool, yet his playing doesn't dominate the band like it does in
Primus. Instead, its more of a collective, with guitarist Todd Huth and drummer
Jay Lane providing a solid groove, not fractured rhythms. Huth,
Lane, and
Claypool formed
Primus in the late '80s, releasing a demo tape called Sausage.
Claypool remained with
Primus while
Lane wound up in the hip-hop/jazz collective Alphabet Soup and the jazz group, the
Charlie Hunter Trio; Huth became a member of Porch. In 1994, the group reunited under the name
Sausage, releasing
Riddles Are Abound Tonight, and went on a short tour. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
