Jay Lane Biography
Jay Lane is one of the most popular and richest Drummer who was born on December 5, 1964 in San Francisco, California, United States. Drummer who has played with the alternative rock band Primus and RatDog, as well as Alphabet Soup and Furthur.
He used to perform with Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir.
In 1982, Lane played with Dave Shul in the band Ice Age. In 1983, he joined Bay Area ska punk band The Uptones when their saxophonist left, prompting drummer Dave Ellis to switch instruments. They released an album, K.U.S.A., before Lane left in 1985 to join the Freaky Executives. After four years of gigging the Executives landed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records. It was during this time that Lane met Primus bassist Les Claypool in the bands’ shared rehearsal space, and the two became friends as Claypool volunteered to act as a roadie for the Freaky Executives.
In 1988, Lane had become so frustrated with Warner’s handling of the Executives’ contract that when Claypool asked him to recommend a replacement for Primus’ recently departed drummer Tim “Curveball” Wright, Lane accepted the position himself. Claypool, Lane, and guitarist Todd Huth played together as Primus for about eight months, and recorded a demo tape named Sausage. At the end of 1988, the Freaky Executives’ deal looked to be taking a turn for the better, and as Claypool was ready for Primus to start touring, Lane decided he no longer had time for both projects and chose to leave Primus, and also left the Freaky Executives after their record deal was shelved.
He had two children with his wife Aida.
