"The Clintons: Montana Party Rock"
Vote again now that you've had a chance to listen to Have Another!
POLL: How many Clintons shows have you seen?
How do you describe The Clintons to your friends?
We're dying to know.
This has got to be the most elusive piece of information to us. We're actually IN the band so we just don't know how to describe ourselves. Do you throw out the names of other bands who you think we sound like? If so, what bands? Help us out and tell us how you do it.
I love their lyrics because they make me laugh and make me happy! There style if fun and humorous and full of engery! I have too many favorites to name! Everyone in Seattle loves them and I am making everyone I know that works at Sellen Construction (Seattle) listen to them. We're coming to see you for Halloween in Billings w/a pack of Seattle folks! Wooo hooo!!!!

Remember when you first got your your drivers license and took the car out by yourself? You controlled the radio dial and only had to listen to songs you liked for the first time ever. The Clinton's are that experience everyday.
Posted May 23, 2008
I tell them that yall play music that makes you happy. And out of the tons of live shows I've been to, you guys are my favorite! And after I play your music for them, they're always hooked! Plus...you're all dead sexy to look at.

This is what I say: Dude, the Clintons are amazing . . If they did shows in California *cough* Santa Cruz *cough* I'd go in a heartbeat. Other than that, they're kind of totally awesomeriffic, I randomly searched for words in a song and their song came up, I downloaded it (yee itunes) and got addicted to the Clintons. Screw Cowbell, More Clintons!!!
Posted March 14, 2008
Mix some rock n roll with country, add some blues and a dash of everything else. Bake for a few yrs and you got the Clintons. If their music doesn't grab u at first, go see a live show. Their personalities and energy will draw you in and never let you go..not that you would want it to!
Posted March 13, 2008
Having more or less grown up with the Clintons' sound, they have grown in ways none of the diehards could've predicted. From Dave Mathew's influences in the early songs, to John Mayer/BNL, to Blackhawk and Rascal Flatts, you never quite know what to expect. I can guarantee, their style is influenced by all of the above, but still is truly their own. They've had five year olds to 70 clapping their hands and stomping their feet at the shows I've seen. The joy in their music is absolutely infectious. You want jazz influences? Just listen to the chords. You want lyrics to tickle your funny bone? Just listen. Do you want country with rock flavor? Just listen. You want funk and groove? Just listen. You want commentary on society? Just listen. You want pin your ears back and let it fly rock? Yep, just listen. They are one of the best "undiscovered" bands in the west. You gotta here, 'em!!
Posted March 13, 2008
I say to people, "Little bit of this and that no matter what kind of music you like they have a song that you will like, but you have to go to a show, you will be hooked!"
Posted March 13, 2008
well i'm saying that is a ska/rock/country band that are down to earth. they started in mt and so far i've heard people in seattle/ L.A. listening to them so they've gotta be damned good! and they only way they'd be better is if they played in more places that allowed minors... aka me!!! The best band i've heard in a long time FER SURE!
Posted March 13, 2008
i think eminem said it best...
Take some BIG and some PAC
And you mix them up in a pot
Sprinkle a little bit Yellow Top
What the fuck do you got?
You got the realest and illest killers

Posted March 11, 2008
I tell them The Clintons sound like God came down and graced the stage with his musical talent in the form of classic rock/country goodness. =D
Posted March 10, 2008
I say you sound like Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand from Salt Lake City, and then people ask who they sound like, and I say the Clintons, and then I burn them a mix CD.
Posted March 09, 2008
I describe ya'll as Country rock with some bad ass lierics! I cant compare you guys to any one else. You have a original sound. Loved the acoustic set, Ya hit that lika bong! Keep up the good work and I'll keep buying.

WIED
Montana's premier rock band!'Nuff said! Posted March 07, 2008 |
Ummm, I just tell them that the band is pretty much fantastic....or something of the such. Then I duck tape them down (with duck tape of many colors!) and force them to listen to Free Ride, Abercrombie, Sleep Like You, Baltimore, and a bit of old skool...Cat in the Hat. Then I just let the crazy virus of the Clintonation do its work. Plain and simple.
Posted March 07, 2008
A badass band from Montana that dips a little bit into every genre ever.
Posted March 07, 2008
It is rare when music can transport you to a place of euphoric bliss. Relaxed, yet energetic. John (Lead Singer) and I have been close friends since we were 18. Levi and I knew each other through college, and I met Josh when the band started in 2000. A.J. is the only member I don't know as well. These four guys make music for every occasion. When I talk about the Clintons.........I just tell people that their lives will forever be changed through a
"Clintons Experience." And live is the best way to be part of it.
On a side note: Keep writing John. You make a difference.

Not Fighters
The John Mayer-esque "Time of Day" is a summertime love song that puts listeners on the front porch with their significant other during a breezy summer day, wind chimes and all. On the other side of the emotional spectrum, "Sleep Like You" is a touching, beautifully tragic breakup ballad that has the potential to get you all choked up while remembering details of your last relationship. And seemingly out of nowhere, the synthesized and funky production of the band's good-times ode to childhood escapism as an adult, "Grant Wants to be a Pirate," will inspire you to leave the real world for a fantastic life on the Seven Seas.
Keeping their core audience in mind, the band included a brand new version of their seven-year-old, previously unreleased fan favorite, "Leave Me Alone". The song, which has been a staple at live shows for years, has a hugely explosive anthem-like chorus that ends with "I'll be back home/writing another song/about how you let me down/when you were high". As you can see, the band isn't afraid of edgy lyrics by any means.
The record is riddled with tasty chops from some very accomplished and talented musicians including their friends Tony Furtado on banjo and slide guitar, Rick Winking from Montana Rose on lead guitar, Scott Morales on clav and organ, and a vocal cameo from the sultry Paige Rasmussen.

Strange Day in Mexico [Explicit]
The Clintons' third full length release, Strange Day in Mexico, is certainly the best selling effort up until this point. On SDIM you'll find the obvious favorites "Come With Me" and " Sex On The Radio" which were played heavily on Bozeman's Clear Channel station, KISS FM, purely from listener requests. Besides John's knack for writing feel good ballads, you'll find the anthem for students everywhere, "College Daze", where McLellan revisits the blurry days and drunken nights of being in college. Strange Day In Mexico, produced by drummer Levi Kujala, ends with quite possibly the hookiest blue grass tune ever written. Although "Abercrombie Jeans" is quite a left field addition to the record, it's humor and energy couldn't describe the nature of The Clintons any better!

Ep (Demo) [Explicit]
This five-song demo ep was initially recorded with the intention of working on song ideas. It actually turned out to be good enough to release and has since been a favorite of die hard Clintons fans because of its raw sound and great songs.

Who Invited Roger
Who Invited Roger was produced by critically acclaimed and award winning producer Ken Mary, who has been involved with more than 30 albums selling 5 million copies worldwide. You'll find radio-ready pop-rock tunes that capture the quirkier side of The Clintons. The song "Baltimore" received several months of radio play on Phoenix's infamous The Edge 103.9. WIR is probably most noted for "Fan of the Bean," a song written about John's battle with caffeine addiction that eventually landed him in treatment. Well, he didn't actually go through treatment, but the song was so convincing that it's been #1 on the ska charts of garageband.com for well over a year.

Kinky
Kinky remains a classic with songs like the light-hearted groove rockers like "Little Miss Perfect," so-funky-it-hurts tunes like "Excuse to Jam," and the harmony-happy title track, "Kinky," written about having the hots for an airline attendant, all of which remain staples to every live show. If you're a new fan, Kinky will give you a surprising and possibly entertaining glimpse into how The Clintons got their start.

Levi's Blog
The Clintons Drummer Speaks.
Levi James Kujala, a.k.a. "Kweejis Philbin" or "Steve McKweej," has grown greatly since the band's conception in 2000. He went from being a scrawny, bleach-blonde city boy who played drums for the sole purpose of wooing females to being a slightly less scrawny, European Mohawk-sporting businessman and musician who plays and writes Clintons' music not for fame or fortune, but for the sake of making music.
What brought about those changes, one might ask? For one, Levi's voice got deeper and he started shaving two to three times a week. Secondly, he helped change The Clintons' image from an average, immature, practice-at-our-parents'house garage band to a talented, albeit,still immature, group of eager musicians trying to make a legitimate living doing what they love-making music-for the people they love-you.

Singer, song writing, and blog writer, yo
John Mclellan hails from Casper, Wyoming, a little town just north of Denver, Colorado (225.3 miles, to be exact). The lead singer and principal songwriter of the group, John wears an inexpensive pair of rose-colored aviator sunglasses that allow him to perceive the world in musical and poetic terms and bestow him with the ability to make a catchy song out of any everyday and/or awkward situation. Personally, John embodies the archetypal 'dude in a band': he wears his hair various different forms of unkempt; never leaves home without his black, size 12 Chuck Taylor sneakers; owns several pairs of tattered, ill-fitting jeans; and always has his acoustic guitar within a 100-yard radius. While some aspiring musicians join bands to evade the dreaded 'real world' of 9-5 jobs and mortgage payments, John sees no difference between the two -- music is his real world.

This Bass player has a brain.
A pop-culture enthusiast and sci-fi/fantasy addict, A.J. "The Hammer" Miller seems to have landed right into his dream life of being in a band and dominating the Tuesday Night Trivia parties at his childhood friend, Jimmy Bailey's house. He was first in line to get the final installment of Harry Potter at Barnes & Noble in Billings, Montana and is famous for buying a plane ticket to Hollywood where he cased Universal Studios for 16 days, kidnapped writer J.J. Abrams and held him captive until he told A.J. who was in the coffin on last season's finale of LOST. He was always a quiet, well-mannered, and innocent young fellow while growing up in downtown Billings, Montana. Not much has changed since then, other than a fresh B.A. degree from the University of Montana, a new found interest in girls (one in particular), and a payload of new bass gear.

Percussion, abidition, and capitalized blogs
If the folks at Webster's were to ask The Clintons for a definition of "abidition," odds are the band would merely send them a picture of Josh "THE DAWG" Keehr, sporting a trucker hat, a vague shirt with a name tag that wasn't his, and a Minnesota-brewed beer. Ever since he was a pup growing up in Hutchinson, Minnesota, Josh has been able to make friends like rabbits make offspring. This intense, party-machine percussionist still abides by the generous Midwestern mentality; he is always willing to go out of his way to make sure his guests are comfortable, well-fed, and have a beer in their hand (warning: applies to children). On any given night, when the other band members are dragging ass after a show, you can always count on THE DAWG to be active, excited and eager to, as he puts it, "TIE ONE ON."
