ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES – ¡BLOW IT…AT MADISON’S QUINCEAÑERA!
Twenty years after Me First and the Gimme Gimmes ruined Johnny's Bar Mitzvah, punk rock's premier cover band is back to wreak havoc on another important coming of-age ceremony. This time, a Quinceañera and we are bringing this fiesta to the land of the long weekend.
Not exclusive to teen ears and audiences, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Blow it… At Madison’s Quinceañera all comes together to create a performance that rises (even as it's sinking) to the occasion. Ushering new songs and old favorites on the road, you don't have to be in on the joke to enjoy their album or their live shows.
Rapscallion crooner and front man, Spike Slawson said it best "I would like this to be considered indicative of what a live show by the Gimme Gimmes can be," he says. "The only difference is that there would be people that wanted to hear us specifically and came to see us. “
Accompanying the Gimmes are the mystifying, shocking, self-proclaimed “last punk band” Dwarves with their unapologetic, middle-finger attitude and thrash, ruffian performances we reckon you’ll have a good time.
Come crack open a couple cold ones and see Me First and The Gimme Gimmes at Forum Melbourne this November.
