{{Main|Oysterhead}}
In April 2000, Claypool collaborated with [[Trey Anastasio]] (of [[Phish]]) and [[Stewart Copeland]] (of [[the Police]]) to form a [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] called [[Oysterhead]]. Claypool and Anastasio had been looking for an opportunity to collaborate. Each had a mutual interest in playing with Copeland who had been a rock idol of their teen years. Plus, Claypool and Copeland already had an established friendship. Oysterhead were originally intended as a one time performance during [[New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival|Jazz Fest]] in [[New Orleans]]. Though timid of the band's sudden and surprising popularity they decided to record and tour.<ref name="frogs&oysters">{{Cite web|url=http://www.jambase.com/Articles/859/FROGS-and-OYSTERS-A-LES-CLAYPOOL-INTERVIEW|title=FROGS-and-OYSTERS-A-LES-CLAYPOOL-INTERVIEW|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151022065910/http://www.jambase.com/Articles/859/FROGS-and-OYSTERS-A-LES-CLAYPOOL-INTERVIEW|archive-date=October 22, 2015|date=January 26, 2001|access-date=December 25, 2017|author=Mike Powers|publisher=jambase.com}}</ref> They released one studio album, ''[[The Grand Pecking Order]]'', and toured before disbanding in 2001. They re-united in 2006, at the [[Bonnaroo Music Festival]]. In 2016 Les tried to reunite the group, but ended up releasing an album with [[The Claypool Lennon Delirium]]. Fortunately they re-united once again in 2020 for two shows at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, with the rest of their tour cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
