Chris has been also really busy with his solo project called Caspar Babypants. There&#8217;s new Caspar Babypants album in every 9 months. Also he continues to play live shows often&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Back to PUSA (Presidents of the USA). First the band went to studio to record some old songs for the fans (b-sides), but later on they found the magic of making a new album, and It should be out this February! It&#8217;s been 6 years between their studio albums, and it&#8217;s the longest time in their career.<\/p>\n<p>Record comes out via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pledgemusic.com\/projects\/pusa\">PledgeMusic\u00a0<\/a> (similar to Kickstarter), where fans funds the album. There are some limited edition stuff you can purchase, but I think the prices are bit too high. (Same goes with other bands on that service). So, you can&#8217;t blame the band to be greedy.\u00a0 Buyers also get live album, which is a compilation from the live material from past 3 years or so. This is the first PUSA live album!<\/p>\n<p>I ordered the 2 CD package, which has the studio and live album. Also wanted to buy the vinyl version, but the price was too high.<\/p>\n<p>Release date: February 15, 2014<\/p>\n<p><b>2014 Tour Dates:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>2014 PUSAfest concerts:<\/p>\n<p>2014-02-14 &#8211; Crystal Ballroom, Portland, Oregon, USA<br \/>\n2014-02-15 &#8211; Showbox at the Market, Seattle, USA<br \/>\n2014-02-16 (early) &#8211; The Triple Door, Seattle, Washington, USA<br \/>\n2014-02-16 (late) &#8211; The Triple Door, Seattle, Washington, USA<\/p>\n<p>2014 European tour:<\/p>\n<p>2014-02-20 \u2013 Utrecht, Tivoli, Netherlands<br \/>\n2014-02-21 \u2013 Parkstad Limburg Theaters, Heerlen, Netherlands<br \/>\n2014-02-23 \u2013 Concorde 2, Brighton, East Sussex, UK<br \/>\n2014-02-24 \u2013 East Village Arts Club, Liverpool, UK<br \/>\n2014-02-25 \u2013 O2 Academy, Newcastle, UK<br \/>\n2014-02-27 \u2013 O2 Academy Leeds, Leeds, UK<br \/>\n2014-02-28 \u2013 Rock City, Nottingham, UK<br \/>\n2014-03-01 \u2013 O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London, UK<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pusabase.com\/2014.html\">More tour dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>2.
