The Presidents of the United States of America, who disbanded due to bassist/vocalist Chris Ballew's desire to spend time with his family, will play a grand finale at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on Jan. 31, 1998.|
Proceeds from the show will benefit The Chicken Soup Brigade, a Seattle-based AIDS charity.
And for those hoping for one last piece of the Presidents, your prayers may be answered. Columbia Records will be releasing a final album in 1998 containing b-sides, cover tunes, live tracks and songs previously available on seven-inch singles only.
The band has also contributed a cover of the
Buggles' history-making song, "Video Killed The
Radio Star," to the soundtrack for the upcoming Adam
Sandler flick, "The Wedding Singer." The Presidents will
also be featured in the video for the song. (Brandon Barber)
