Primus brings New Year’s Eve weirdness to Fox Theater Oakland
Oakland gets a very Primus way to close out the year. The band takes over Fox Theater on Thursday, December 31, with the show set for 9 pm.
Fox Theater is a good room for a night like this. The place has that old Oakland grandeur, with tall ceilings, glowing details, and enough size to make the crowd feel big without losing the odd little moments happening on stage.
Primus fans already know the deal. Les Claypool and company bring crooked bass lines, strange stories, sharp musicianship, and a sense of humor that still feels built for a packed room. On New Year’s Eve, that should make for a fun mix of serious players and unserious behavior.
If you want a downtown Oakland night that is a little off center, this is a strong pick. Grab dinner nearby, walk over to Telegraph, and let Fox Theater handle the rest.
