The Presidents - Chris Ballew, Dave Dederer and Jason Finn (who recently left his other band, Love Battery, to devote full time to the Presidents' ticket) - are currently big-time, label-signing darlings, one of the most talked-about and highly desired bands out of Seatown. But the gang o' three, whose songs usually have something to do with amphibians or sex - or amphibians having sex - have for the moment sidestepped the biggies and are putting out the new record on Northwest-based PopLlama. |

Body " So we finally get Neil Patrick Harris over there. Chris asked if he would come up on stage and teach us some anatomy and Neil declined. After the rest of us went in, Neil went back to Chris and asked if he could get
the other three people in. Chris wrote him a note that said, "Let this nice young man and his friends in!" So the rest of the crew got in. Rest of the setlist remains a mystery. |

1995-05-12 | Moe's, Seattle, WA |
Setlist With Laundry, Superdeluxe Review: Live at Moe's Rockin' Cafe One thing that you can always expect to have at a Presidents show is fun. Crazy, sweaty, intoxicated fun. The music is upbeat, the band is rowdy and there's always the opportunity to dance to those kinda funky pop songs that are currently winning fans over by the hundreds here in Seattle. This particular gig was opened by Laundry, a free jazz wanna-be outfit that featured standup bass, drums and electric guitar. All three guys being decked out in matching lounge jackets didn't really help the situation much, as the performance and songwriting left quite a bit to be desired. In between songs it was difficult to hear even a smattering of applause. Superdeluxe reversed the gears and pulled the crowd in with their retro chic fashion sense and sweetsexy vocals. Thick guitar sounds filtered into sugary pop progressions for much of the set while vocal harmonies occasionally appeared in the spaces. With enough stage patter to rival your favorite Vegas act, Superdeluxe kept the crowd swinging during their hour long set that included "She Came On", "Half Asleep" and "Suitcases". As bubbles wafted through the air, Christmas lights beamed, and illuminated raspberries fell to the floor, Superdeluxe got the crowd hot and sweaty for the headlining act. When President Chris Ballew took the stage, instead of launching into the smashing set that has become their reputation, he introduced guitarist Chris Atella. Clad in a dark overcoat, Atella worked his electric guitar at a superhuman level of speed and technical precision for a devastating five minute solo. Returning to the stage with the rest of his band (including drummer Jason Finn in a stunning house dress), Ballew joked about his own guitar playing inadequacies. The crowd didn't seem to care much what Ballew thought, as the room started shaking to the sounds of "We're Not Gonna Make It", the self depreciating rock 'n' roll anthem the band covered on their self titled debut album on Pop Llama Records. Without a break in the action The Presidents fired through a good number of songs from the record including, "Boll Weevil", "Bug City", "Dune Buggy" (they like to play all the bug songs in a row), "Body", and their rather critical tribute to the local basketball team, the Supersonics. Although the whole set was chalk full of hyperactive stage antics (leaps, bounds, wild gesticulations, etc.), highlights might have been the Dave Dederer/ Chris Ballew guitar cross, or maybe the high fives, of maybe Ballew's vocalized air guitar solo. Of course, the crowd always loves going back in time for the Buggles early eighties hit, "Video Killed the Radio Star". As Dederer told the audience that the set was drawing to a close, the room suddenly filled with hundreds of cat sounds. This is the ritual mating call for "Kitty", the opening track on the album. Although the Presidents chose not to play that song, they ended with "Peaches", before retiring to the backstage for about two seconds to grab fresh drinks. Upon their return, the crowd jolted with energy to Ballew's whiny suggestion that they 'rawck till dawn'. A rowdy version of "Kick Out the Jams" followed before an unprecedented party spontaneously set the room buzzing with joy. As the Presidents rocked through "Naked and Famous", an overzealous fan stripped to the skin and danced on stage for several moments before a security guy chased him behind the drum risers. Of course, there could be no better ending to a rock show, save Ballew's suggestion that we all get naked and shower together. |

Setlist
Review: The Crocodile Cafe hasn't seen a bash like the one last Monday in a year or two of Mondays. You couldn't make a move without stepping on a star. In fact, it was pretty hard to move at all. Things were nicely cozy. For live entertainment, besides celebrity-ogling, the Croc presented the Presidents of the United States of America, who, as lead singer Chris Ballew put it, "vomited out a short set"; the psychedelic, surf-instrumental wonderment of the Thurston (Sonic Youth) Moore Trio; and Guided By Voices, who were guided by voices all their own. |

table of some radio station somewhere in the US (yes, we actually set up our amps and tiny promo gig drum kit on top of a board room table when we met with one of the few stations not playing "Lump" in late summer 1995...and
the program director and DJs came in to meet us and we stood up on the table and played a few songs)...probably some other crazy places I can't think of right now...this was all in August (US) and September (Europe) of 1995. - Dave Dederer Press: "The band played more than 50 shows during the three-week, 15 market promotional tour, including performances on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Calif., Pink's hot dog stand in Hollywood, Calif., and Washington Square Park in New York, which was just one of the band's five gigs in the Big Apple that day. |

I don't recall anything about Supergrass that night (I will see them open for Foo Fighters tomorrow night). But P.U.S.A. ruled the stage. One was sick, so they were just with two.

"Over at Moe's, co-owner Jerry Everard calls the Seattle club scene "amazing. It can go in any direction, big or small, high-tech or otherwise." Moe's put its New Year's show with the Presidents of the United States of America on the Internet, and Everard says that by the end of February, all of Moe's shows will be on the Net with audio and video feeds. "The technology allows us all kinds of possibilities. And when you're going out to that many people, the size of the club becomes academic." - Seattletimes.com
Press: "The chart-busting Presidents of the United States of America will be playing New Year's Eve at Moe's, joined by the Posies and Super Deluxe. Tickets are available by lottery only. Entry forms are available only at Moe's, now through Dec. 17. The drawing will be held Dec. 18 and winners will be notified. Tickets cost $18. Good luck." "The most anticipated, but almost impossible to see, show is the Presidents of the United States of America, the Posies and Super Deluxe at Moe's. The lottery for attendance has already come and gone and the lucky winners have been notified. More than 900 fans entered. But there might be another way to see the Presidents and more. MTV is doing part of its New Year's Eve Countdown in Seattle with the Presidential Ones. " "The Moe show was also broadcast live in New York over WNEW-FM. In addition, the Presidents have been voted best new artist of the year by Album Network. And a video for their next single, "Peaches," has been directed by Roman Coppola, who also directed the MTV "Buzz Clip" for "Lump." The Presidents launch their first major American tour next month."
