PrimusWilly Wonka themed-tour, which supports their Wonka-themed album, swung through the NYC-area for a second time, hitting Long Island’s The Paramount in Huntington, NY on Saturday night (4/25). Billed as Primus and The Chocolate Factory featuring The Fungi Ensemble, the stage was made to look like Wonka’s “pure imagination” from the 1971 film classic (which clips from were projected behind the band), and there were appearances from some of the largest Oompa Loompas ever seen. In addition to originals, Primus also covered a few songs from the movie, including “Pure Imagination” and “I Want it Now.” The Wonka set was bookended by regular Primus sets featuring cuts from the last 25 years. Setlist and pictures are in this post.

Primus will be back this summer for their tour with Dinosaur Jr. More pics from Primus’ show at The Paramount, below…
