Presidents return to Chilkoot's

"The Presidents of the United States of America were back in town Jan. 27 playing to a sold-out crowd at Chilkoot Charlie’s. Spirits were high and dollar beers had everyone in a good social mood. Promoting its new album “Love Everybody” and parading its usual PUSA antics, the band had everybody in the crowd loving them.

The Presidents took the stage at around 10:30 p.m. and played for nearly two hours. Playing all of its classic hits such as “Lump,” “Peaches,” “Dune Buggy” and “Body,” it had the crowd singing along to every song in unison. Along with its old hits, the band also jammed out roughly half of its new album, to a delighted audience.

Any Presidents fan in attendance could tell you that not only was the show two hours of solid music, but it was a comedy act as well. Front man Chris Ballew provided spontaneous moments of absolute hilarity. Ballew is like that crazy bald uncle you wish you had. At one point in the show, he stopped playing in the middle of a song and stared at the audience with one of his signature weird looks.

“I’ve been a fan since sixth grade; it was a blast,” said Natalie Semmens, a senior in the nursing program at UAA.

Toward the end of its set, Ballew and drummer Jason Finn switched instruments and played the last of the show before the encore. The Presidents have long been known for its unique instruments. Instead of regular guitars, the band has the guitbass and the basitar. The guitbass is a regular electric guitar with only two bass strings on it and the basitar is the opposite. This is how PUSA gets its well-known sound, and it always leaves those in the audience asking what kind of instrument it is that band members are playing.

While some in attendance listened on from various parts of Koot’s while playing pool or sitting at the bar, the majority of the people in the bar packed into the main room to take part in the show.

“Everybody was soaking wet with sweat, it was really hot,” said audience member Joe Kluberton. Despite the heat and cramped, shoulder-to-shoulder space, fans jumped, danced and shook their fists to every song.

The Presidents have been loyal to Alaska fans, returning to play in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau at least two times each year for the last few years.

“Alaskan people are great. We have the best shows of our lives up here,” Ballew said.

When the show was done, the band hung around and signed autographs for about of 20 minutes and even danced with members of the audience. It had to jet soon after though, since its flight to Juneau left just hours later.

“I was really impressed. They were really great in person,” said Ivan Chickigak-Steadman. Who would have thought that an almost-40-year-old balding guy and his two wacky friends could put out such popular, yet juvenile music? We haven’t seen the last of the Presidents in Alaska, and that’s a good thing." - lint Helander

Review:

While football-throwing, frisbee-catching and beer-drinking might've best characterized a sun-soaked Great Lawn Saturday afternoon, the annual SpringFest-which featured an eclectic lineup of national acts and campus bands-delighted a mid-sized crowd in what was perhaps students' last chance to enjoy the outdoors before the onslaught of finals arrives.

Campus band The Edition played a very deft set in the early afternoon. Their songs-often lounge-derived blues music with noodling solos and long keyboard grooves-worked well as a background quilt to all the revelries going on under the sun.

Influential West Coast hip-hop ensemble The Pharcyde came next. Although old by rap standards, they energized the small crowd and kept the afternoon's mood relaxed, reflecting the sunny weather. The group consistently interacted with their audience, leading call-and-response chants and bringing fans onstage.

Much to the fans' delight, the group played a slightly extended set; although they attempted to end the show several times after reminding the crowd that they were only the opening act, they acquiesced to the audience and played several extra songs.

Dedicating their set to the late comedian Mitch Hedberg, venerable yuksters The Presidents of the United States of America headlined the afternoon. They seemed removed from a bygone era-a time when most Brandeis students were still in elementary school, and when having your song covered by "Weird Al" Yankovic was a sign of overwhelming commercial success.

Amazingly, during the Presidents' hour-and-then-some-long set, most of the crowd was seen singing along to all the older songs. The rockers were as energetic in concert today as they sounded on the post-grunge, pop-punk inspired tunes of their first two platinum-selling albums. From bunny-jumping on stage during "Dune Buggy" to expressing approval for Ollie the Owl, The Presidents seemed at home playing in front of the Shapiro Campus Center, even treating fans to cheery, off-kilter between-song banter and odd jokes about squirrels and raspberries.

The set's highlights included most of the classic songs from their first album, including "Kitty," "Lump" and the now-classic "Peaches." The Presidents knew how to order their set list, spreading fan-favorites among old album tracks, new singles and covers. An expansive medley of classic covers included Joan Jett's "Heartbreaker," The Car's "Good Times Roll," Oasis' "Wonderwall" and The Ramones' "I Wanna be Sedated," finally concluding with their hit rendition of The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star." The Presidents might not be a band who can play "Free Bird"-especially seeing how there are only five strings between "gitbassist" Dave Dederer and "bassitarist" Chris Ballew-but their upbeat, fun set kept the crowd engaged, proving to be a surprisingly nice conclusion to a beautiful day on Shapiro Lawn.

Review:

t is difficult to believe just how packed the Spring & Airbrake was for the recent Presidents of the USA show in Belfast. It seemed that no matter who I spoke to in the weeks approaching the gig, the response was the same – ‘Who? Oh yeah, those guys who did that song ‘Peaches’. Yeah, I remember them – didn’t they split up?’… Indeed, they did, but now they’re back together with a brand new album, the excellent ‘Love Everybody’ and it seems that the fan base they established a decade ago, through quirky pop-punk tracks like ‘Lump’, ‘Dune Buggy’, and, of course, ‘Peaches’ haven’t deserted them…

The crowd at the gig were all pretty excited and support band Gimik perhaps, therefore, didn’t quite get the attention they were expecting. The local lads, who recently supported Natasha Bedingfield at the Waterfront Hall, were probably a little too mainstream for the large proportion of the audience at the Presidents gig, but that didn’t stop them pulling out all the stops to get a reaction.

Gimik are certainly infectious, playing an insanely upbeat blend of poppy punk that brings to mind the likes of Bowling For Soup. Their track ’25 Years’, which has been receiving almost indecent amounts of airplay on local radio, was obviously the most well received track during their short set, but they just might have managed to win over a few more converts. Although, clearly not that many, if the number of young ladies in the loos whingeing about how shit the support act was in between re-applying lip-gloss was anything to go by…

However, it’s the Presidents that everyone at the gig was here for and the anticipation was reaching fever pitch as the band bounded onto the stage. They may have split up in 1997 and only recently reformed, but they looked and sounded like they’ve never been away! Bursting into a triumphant version of their Buggles cover, ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’, the Spring & Airbrake virtually exploded into one mad pogoing mass in response. It’s easy to see why the band have reformed – they certainly seem to have a real love, a real passion for playing live and it makes them an exciting live act to view.

Seemingly the only band to come out of Seattle in the Nineties that didn’t sound like they hated themselves and wanted to die, it seemed unfair that the Presidents’ mid-Nineties fame was so fleeting. One mega-selling debut album, containing all the hits, followed a year later by an equally as good, but not nearly as appreciated, follow-up and shortly after that they were gone…

However, the Spring & Airbrake set was a timely reminder of just how good this little band is. Sure, it’s the hits that really get the crowd going – ‘Lump’ has the crowd almost out-singing vocalist Chris Ballew, ‘Dune Buggy’ receives almost as manic a reception and set closer ‘Peaches’ almost raises the roof – but this is an extremely comprehensive set, which includes memorable gems from the first album, such as ‘Back Porch’ and ‘Naked & Famous’, under-rated treasures from ‘II’, such as ‘Froggie’ and ‘Tiki God’, which makes an appearance during the encore and the brilliant ‘Mobile Home’, from the B-sides album, ‘Pure Frosting’. It’s a set-list, which would make a fan-boys eye gleam with joy…

However, the Presidents aren’t just back to play the hits, They’ve got a new album to plug, after all, and the material from ‘Love Everybody’ can more than hold its own against the classic material. The hugely infectious ‘Some Postman’ is on a par with those classic hits, Ballew ensured that ‘Zero Friction’ stuck firmly in the brain by leading the crowd in a sing-a-long chorus and the lazy grooves of ‘Munky River’ and the impossibly cute country style of ‘Jennifer’s Jacket’, which kicked off the encore, shows that the President’s haven’t lost their knack for crafting a quirky tunes.

So, it’s good to have the Presidents back… and judging by the smiles on the faces of those leaving the Spring & Airbrake after the gig, I’m not the only one who thinks that way. They’re the perfect remedy when you’re taking life too damn seriously… Hail to the chiefs indeed…

Review:

"I rolled up to the gig in Liverpool waiting to be impressed. Was I? Damn straight I was, the band opened up with Video Killed The Video Star and laid waste to a Liverpool crowd that was not as many as I expected. They played quite a few tracks from the latest album including my current fave Zero Friction. They play 21 songs in all and at one point they get the whole crowd to take a step back and all sit down! Not just a few, but every single person in the room sitting on the floor, it was quite a sight! They also threw in a rip roaring cover of MC5’s ‘Kick Out The Jams’, a live fave of the band forever. In the middle they slip into Lulu’s ‘Shout’, it’s plain to see that they are having the times of their lives, and are like the cliché says ‘tighter than a ducks arse.’ They inject a humour and fun to the show that has you reeling in the years and smiling like the Joker in Batman 1, combined with some great songs. Alongside the Flaming Lips, Everclear and Weezer, the Presidents are the most fun you can have with your clothes on - miss them and miss out." Jj – 2005.
