Pusabase.com domain turns 3 years old today (Site has been now online for 9 years on various places! Next year is Pusabase’s 10th and PUSA’s 20th anniversary!). Webmaster is also celebrating his birthday today.

I uploaded some “never-before-seen photos” of PUSA From:
1995-03-13 – Brownies, New York, NY
1995-03-17 – SXSW showcase – Steamboat, Austin, TX

Photos by Michael Watson. I did a photo restoration (color correction, scratches & dust removed etc.) to each photo as a favor, so I could use them on my site.

I’ve been busy with the Presidents of the USA tour specials. That’s why my Caspar Babypants “Hot Dog!” review is postponed. BUT I’ve been collecting some PUSA news while searching all the PUSA tour details, and here are the highlights:

Let’s start with some interviews: It’s Jason’s turn to answer all those questions. Looks like whenever they are in Europe, Jason is handling the press stuff.

“John Balfe talked to drummer Jason Finn about this, his impression of St. Patrick’s Day and if they ever plan to release another album.”

Read more: Interview with The Presidents of the United States of America


Another PUSA / Jason Finn interview:

“I chatted with drummer Jason Finn earlier today. The band is approaching the end of the tour and I caught him after a day off as they were on the road to Eindhoven (having already toured much of the UK). He was chowing down on a bowl of muesli as I chatted to him.

Read more: Interview : Presidents of the United States of America

Blog post about “Airports tuning their soundtracks:

“Sea-Tac’s new soundtrack also extends to the welcome and safety messages heard inside the airport, with many notable Northwest musicians, including Sir Mix-a-Lot and Chris Ballew, of the Presidents of the United States of America , voicing short announcements.”

Read more: Airports tuning up their soundtracks

Anyone heard the Chris Ballew one?

Some great photos of Caspar Babypants (Chris Ballew) I’ve found via Bing. Photos are from 2010, but I don’t think I have posted about this previously:

Comment:
“I was there and added the songs to a playlist on my iPod whilst dancing along
Finished with a Kick Out The Jams Reprise.
More Bad Times also had him pause to explain he was a frog and his ex was a supermodel so the relationship was doomed from the start, but he still wished there were “More Bad Times”.
Ladybug was dedicated to his wife that used to be his fiancée but is now his wife. Between Peaches and We Are Not… they had a pause as they said that would happen when you flip the vinyl over to the other side back in the day as their eponymous debut was released on vinyl.
The gig was great! ” – Ashley
