Me First And The Gimme Gimmes are a Punk cover band formed in 1995 of members of various "new-school" Punk bands around at that time. Strictly playing covers, the band has released five full-length albums, each with a set theme. Among them have been 60s and 70s Pop, "showtunes" and R&B, all covered in a Punk/Pop-Punk style. The band is reknown for its fundamentally 'fun' nature, never taking themselves (too) seriously. Chris Shiflett, currently of Foo Fighters, is the most recognisable face in the band in the mainstream, but the line-up is really a Punk Rock all-star team.
The Gimme Gimmes are: Spike Slawson of the Swingin' Utters, Fat Mike of NOFX, Joey Cape and Dave Raun of Lagwagon, and Shiflett formerly of No Use For A Name. Work on a sixth album is well under way and the theme is said to be 'Western'. « hide |
