Is our headline a little too 'editorial' for its own good? We don't care! Today the awesome news that legendary drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander has returned to the Primus fold following the departure of Jay Lane was made. Les, Ler and Tim will head into the studio this November to begin work on the follow up to 2011's Green Naughayde. Tim will be returning to play New Years Eve at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Expect to see plenty more dates to follow in summer and fall of 2014. Tim last performed with Primus at the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco on August 23rd, 2008.
Rolling Stone broke the news of Tim's return to Primus earlier today. The article, which also includes an interview with Les on his fishing show with Dean Ween, Oysterhead and more, can be found here .
