• Oysterhead is one of the more curious supergroups ever assembled. It's comprised of Trey Anastasio from Phish, Les Claypool from Primus, and Stewart Copeland of The Police. There's not much overlap in the Venn diagram from those bands, but when they toured, they had no trouble selling out theaters.
• The first time the three played together, they never intended to develop into a band. The three musicians collaborated for a performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in May 2000, intending for it to be a one-off performance. However, the performance was so dynamic that the three agreed that further collaboration was in order. This culminated in studio sessions for the band's only album, 2001's The Grand Pecking Order, as well as a subsequent North American tour.
• The band reunited in 2006 for a two-hour set at Bonnaroo, and again in 2020 for several more shows.
• Steward Copeland said an interview with Jam Base that the band considered "setlists are for wimps" to be a sort of motto. Reflecting this, the band would simply walk on stage and play whichever songs they felt like playing, all the while varying the music with jazz-like improvisation.
• Oysterhead often integrated cover songs into their live setlists. These included Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and The Animals' "The House Of The Rising Sun."
