They were first formed at the first Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2002. Worrell, Brain and Buckethead were there to perform with Bill Laswell as Praxis. Laswell was not able to play at the concert, so Claypool introduced them to jam with him. From this point, they developed the concept of this supergroup. Their early concerts pushed the improvisational envelope by preparing no material and not rehearsing beforehand.
In 2004 the group recorded their only album "the big eyeball in the sky" and toured nationwide in support of the album.
The band briefly reunited without Brain at the 2006 Wakarusa Festival where, during Les Claypool's Fancy Band set, Bernie and Buckethead came onstage and played "the Big Eyeball in the Sky". Claypool dubbed this incarnation "Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Baldi", Baldi being Paulo Baldi who was a drummer for Cake and The Fancy Band.

As a 51yo it's great to see generations and races merging and tearing down beariers. And Buckethead smashes the whole idea of ego.

Music always does that from the beginning of the 20th century at least with blues jazz, etc..Louis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden top pros great friends in the same band in the 20's-30's on through the years. That was just one example of many.

This might be the show I went to. After I think the first or second song Les grabbed a mic and said "I hope you guys don't mind but were just gonna jam for about 3 hours". Maybe the greatest live show I've ever been to.

love how brain blows out the snares, pulls the drum off himself, improvs with no snare, then replaces the drum like nothing happened. all these dudes are badass!!
Michael Craig
I saw Rory Gallagher change a string on a guitar without stopping the song!!

A true supergroup of super talent - unmatched and unequaled.

Anyone notice how Brain's snare malfunctions in some respect like a quarter in, then he just improvises by using his mid tom as the snare. Even takes the snare off its stand mid jam, and the crowd doesn't know the difference. A true pro. They're all pros.

I've been watching this clip now and then for almost a decade, never noticed this! Real madmen!
