This is a great but short gig by Primus alter ego Bob Cock & The Yellow Sock. Only from the warped twisted mind that is Les Claypool!
Bob Cock is played by Adam Gates who is a close friend and roadie of the band Primus. Adam often appeared as Bob Cock on stage with Primus in different costumes. A spin off band was formed called Bob Cock & The Yellow Sock with Gates handling the vocals. Bob Cock sometimes wouldn't show up to the gigs, aledgidly due to his party life style.
In the late 90's the Bob Cock character was "killed off" by Gates, the death suposedly from a rumored cocaine overdose and a bizarre gerbilling accident in Mexico. The character was later revived at a recent annual Primus New Years Eve Freak Out. The reappearance of Bob Cock was explained by saying he had faked his own death.
On the DVD that comes with the Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People EP there is a hidden portion that shows Bob Cock in heaven doing drugs with Jesus in front of a Britney Spears calender.
