In the Dutchess County Spotlight

Primus and the Mid-Hudson Civic Center announce the first-ever traveling 3D-enhanced live musical performance coming to the Civic Center this Friday, October 12, 2012 at 8pm. This groundbreaking tour provides a one-of-a-kind psychedelic experience, further enhanced by the fact that every show also features Quad Surround Sound. Primus teamed with 3D Live from Burbank, CA to create original 3D content for this tour. Audience members are given 3D glasses in order to fully experience a visual and audio performance like no other.

Primus' latest album, Green Naugahyde, was produced and engineered by Les Claypool in his personal studio, Rancho Relaxo, in Northern California, and features Claypool, long-time guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Jay Lane. Lane was in an early lineup of the band, and was also in Sausage, a 1994 reunion of the 1988 Primus lineup.

Green Naugahyde expands on Primus' incomparable sound and also sees them bringing it into the next millennium. It is a cerebral and complex album that, like all of the band's output, is teeming with the band's signature blend of whimsy and underlying darkness. For the past 27 years, Primus have followed in the footsteps of boundary-pushing artists like Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to create some of the most original and inventive music in existence.

Green Naugahyde is a Primus record with all of the magic and mystery that phrase entails-and while no one can say for sure what the future will hold in store for the band, the most important thing is that the album exists and will inevitably hold its own in the band's impressive cannon of music.

Tickets are $39.50, general admission, and are on sale at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center's Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, and www.ticketmaster.com . For information contact the Civic Center or visit www.midhudsonciviccenter.org
