Primus have just released their new EP, "A Handful Of Nuggs", which features a collaboration with Les Claypool and a cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" with Puddles Pity Party. The EP also includes a live recording of "Duchess And The Proverbial Mind Spread" and a new track, "The Ol' Grizz", which will be part of their upcoming tenth studio album. This release marks a significant moment for the band, as they have recently recruited a new drummer and are preparing for a busy touring schedule in 2026. The EP's title is a nod to Claypool's passion for gold prospecting, and the band's upcoming tour, "Claypool Gold", will feature a number of special performances. In this article, I will explore the release of "A Handful Of Nuggs" and the band's upcoming plans, including their collaboration with Angine de Poitrine and their busy touring schedule. I will also offer my personal interpretation and commentary on the band's latest endeavors and their impact on the music industry.
