C2B3 is a rock supergroup featuring guitarist Buckethead, bassist Les Claypool of Primus, and drummer Bryan Mantia. The style and sound of the band is a unique, somewhat bizarre mix between Anastasio's jam band style, the bass-oriented funk metal music of Claypool.

[edit] Biography
C2B3 was formed for what was originally intended to be Les Claypool's other group Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade in front of tens of thousands of fans. At the same time, the experimental and influential band Praxis were asked to perform at the festival. Unfortunately, when Praxis mastermind Bill Laswell was unavailable, he essentially stranded the group's other members - drummer Bryan Mantia, guitarist Buckethead, and keyboard legend Bernie Worrell.
The band started off named Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains however word spread quickly about the band and it took off, and they booked other tours. They later changed the name to C2B3.
