The Presidents of the United States of America became a hit in the summer of 1995, when MTV and modern rock radio began airing “Lump” frequently.

“Lump,” followed by the radio hit “Kitty” in the fall and the radio/video hit “Peaches” in the spring of 1996, propelled the album to a surprise Top Ten double-platinum status. The band quickly capitalized on their sudden success by releasing their second album, The Presidents of the United States of America: II, in November of 1996.

In December of 1997, the Presidents called it quits after Chris Ballew left the band to spend more time with his family. A farewell concert followed in February 1998 and a rarities album, Pure Frosting, was released in March. Rumors of a possible reunion and collaboration with fellow Seattle resident Sir Mix-a-Lot (under the collective name Subset) floated around in 1999, but the project never materialized.

However, the band did reconvene in 2000 (without a rapper) under the officially shortened moniker the Presidents and released their third album, Freaked Out and Small. Another long hiatus preceded the release of Love Everybody in 2004.

That same year the band reissued their debut album on their own label in “Super Bonus Thrillpack” edition featuring a DVD. Late in 2007 the Presidents announced a new album,

These Are the Good Times People, would be delivered in the spring of 2008. Sporadic activity, including occasional one-off gigs, followed into the 2010s, although Ballew spent more time on his children’s music project, Caspar Babypants, before a sixth album, Kudos to You!, arrived in 2014.
