Sure, a new administration in the Washington, but that hasn’t affected The Presidents of the United States of America. After using 2008 to release their latest studio endeavor, These Are the Good Times People, the Seattle Rockers are still going at it in full force. In fact, even amidst an ongoing tour – though I don’t know many people would complain about performing in Hawaii – and some fun with the new president (see: “Moving In” below), the musical Presidents have still found some time to carve out three brand new digital EPs. Available exclusively through iTunes, Rot in the Sun, Ladybug, and Bad Times, the releases will each consist of a song from last year’ release, an exclusive B-Side and a new video.
Speaking of touring, the trio of Chris Ballew, Jason Finn, Andrew McKeag have also unveiled a number of new dates that them all across both Europe and the eastern portion of the United States for the better part of two months beginning in mid-March.
