THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Presidents of the United States of America, sometimes referred to as PUSA, The Presidents or Pot USA, is a twice Grammy-nominated American alternative rock band. The band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1993. The three-piece group currently comprises Chris Ballew, Jason Finn and Andrew McKeag; Dave Dederer was a member of the band for 11 years before leaving in 2004. They have released six studio albums since forming in 1993. (More from Wikipedia)
Eventually the lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders, Mark Lindsay wanted more exposure, so they began to record under the ungainly name of Paul Revere and the Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay. (That is actually about as long as the Presidents of the United States of America, a name that was deliberately chosen because it was the longest name that the bandmembers could think of).
