Never known as a political rock band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters have jumped on the Hillary Rodham Clinton bandwagon, hoping that their song “Blue Sky” becomes an anthem for her presidential campaign.
The group tries to keep political issues out of its music because, as guitarist and vocalist Todd Park Mohr tells it, “politics is very polarizing.”
But because band members “are all Democratic folks leaning left of the dial” who are “excited about the prospect of Hillary being president,” they agreed when Clinton’s campaign asked them to perform at her stop on Denver’s Auraria campus.
As Mohr tells it, Tuesday’s rally marked the first big political gig for the Colorado-based group. He said he hopes for a “longer relationship” with Clinton, envisioning the group’s song “Blue Sky” as a possible campaign theme.
