Not to be confused i love pusa the President of the United States of America. American alternative rock power trio band. The band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1993, and disbanded in 2016. Ballew had previously been in a punk band called Egg, who wrote many songs that would later be turned into PUSA songs.

The Presidents recorded a ten-song cassette, Froggystyle, in early 1994 in one day at Laundry Room Studios. The band sold the cassette at shows in 1994. Finn also sold the cassette from behind the bar of Seattle’s Comet Tavern, where he tended bar. A follow-up album, II, received similar praise, but did not match the commercial success that the Presidents’ debut album had, though it was still certified gold in the US. Throughout 1995, 1996 and 1997, the band made worldwide tours to support their first two albums. In 1996, MTV aired a previously recorded live concert of the band from Mount Rushmore for Presidents Day. They were introduced with: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Presidents of the United States.

The band broke up in January 2000 as Ballew quit to spend more time with his young family and explore other musical terrain. Pure Frosting, a final album composed of new songs, covers, and demos, was released in 1998. The CD also contained videos for “Lump,” “Peaches,” “Mach 5,” and “Dune Buggy. Pure Frosting featured two songs that had previously been used in a movie and as a television show theme. The Presidents also wrote the theme song for the 1998 TV movie My Date with the President’s Daughter. They also performed a cover of the George of the Jungle theme song for the 1997 movie of the same name. The Presidents also collaborated with Sir Mix-A-Lot as Subset, a short-lived rock and hip-hop band.
