did they break up again? please tell me they didn't!

the reason i ask is because i used to check ticketmaster.com for them (back when "Freaked Out and Small" came out) and it would have a listing for them but no dates scheduled. now there's just no listing for them, and i've come to find out that that's what they do when a band breaks up. so does anybody know anything?

it's interesting that they broke up a while back but got back together recently and released "Freaked Out and Small" but never did tour. i'm really worried.

i've seen my absolute favorites bands live (Ben Folds, They Might Be Giants, and Primus), but in order for me to really die happy i have to see them too.

I'm the same! I was crazy about them just before I got crazy about BFF!! I bet they'll never tour Australia again though, I can't even find Freaked Out and Small here.

Have you checked sites?

unfortunately there's really no good POTUSA sites... let alone up-to-date ones. the only break-up info i can find is that of their first.

i would like Chris's email address. that would be cool. and if they did break up, i'd track him down and make him do a concert for me.

As far as I know right now, they are still together.. Chris has been working extensively on the giraffes, though.

love,
Leia

you had your dry cleaning and I think you were dreaming.

no katefolds, it sure doesn't. it sounds like Chris has a solo career though. that's cool. i knew he and Tad were doing things, but i'll have to see what can find on just Ballew.

OK speaking of the Presidents this has been bothering me for a while now. Leia, the quote in your auto-sig is wrong...it is "You had your dry cleaning and I think you're dreamy." PUSA is one of my favorite bands (and at one point they were my favorite band) so you're going to have to trust me on this one...or you could just go look on any PUSA lyric page. Peace, Andy.

thanks for the tip mr. lightfoot.

I usually just write out whatever I think it sounds like and whatever makes sense... I was close though...

Leia
