About
PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONCERT:
In case the name left any shred of doubt, let's be clear: alt-rock outfit the Presidents of the United States of America are out to have fun. Rising to fame with hilariously quirky songs like "Kitty" and "Lump" from their self-titled 1995 debut, the band brought a welcome dose of Dada to the traditionally weighty alternative rock landscape, matching the playfulness of their music with their zany, energy-filled live shows. Hot on the heels of 2014's cheekily titled Kudos to You!, the band returns to the road for a tour that's sure to rock and amuse in equal measure.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in Seattle in 1993, the Presidents of the United States of America played local venues and hawked cassettes at bars before rising to overnight fame with their self-titled 1995 debut. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, the band's head-scratching lyrics and playful song structures, the album struck a major chord with audiences, going triple-platinum and spawning hit singles like "Peaches" and "Lump." 1996 sophomore album II was also a success, landing on charts around the world and scoring the band another hit with "Mach 5." After weathering several breakups and reunions in the '00s, the band returned in 2014 with a fan-funded new album Kudos to You!, hitting the road for a tour in support of the long-awaited release.

by Boweevil on 2/13/10Showbox at the Market - SeattleThe Presidents were awesome!! Cool to have the original guitarist back for a few songs. Would give 5 stars but.....we had to suffer through 3 hours of some of the worst opening bands I've ever heard.
