Tickets – ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES Berlin
Informationen
For the uninitiated, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is THE punk super- group
and cover band extraordinaire of 2024. Consisting of punk legends, John Reis,
guitarist and lead vocals for Rocket from the Crypt, the celebrated scamp Joey
Cape from Lagwagon on guitar, Pinch from The Damned, on the skins. Add to
our crew Fat Mike, master bassist from NOFX and CJ Ramone from a little band
you may have heard of, The Ramones, rounded out by the incomparable
crooner, Spike Slawson.
When duty calls for one of the Gimmes to perform with their other band, rest
assured a traveling Gimme will step in. Jonny “2 Bags” Wickersham from Social
Distortion, Jay Bentley from Bad Religion or Stacey Dee from Bad Cop/Bad Cop
are known to fill in and on occasion, Jake Kiley, professional stoner and
recreational guitar player from Strung Out hops on tour too.
Together, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are an outfit that has always
operated more like a beer-hall Pussycat Dolls than a regular mortal band. In
2004, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes had the pleasure of ruining Johnny’s
Bar Mitzvah. They have since crashed another party and bring you Me First and
the Gimme Gimmes Blow It...at Madison's Quinceañera!
After 7 studio albums, 2 live records and too many singles to count, they’ve
tackled just about every genre under the sun. Be it Motown, Country, Show
Tunes, Japanese Pop (sung in Japanese!), these seasoned punk rock pros have
triumphed on every occasion in a way only the Gimmes could. With such an
extensive and wide-ranging catalog, where does one begin?... With a live show
of course! The powerhouse continues and they’ll be singing Corridos, Pop,
Country and Motown tune all year long, so don’t miss it!
