Me First + The Gimme Gimmes: Two NZ Shows (Oct, 2017)

me-first-and-the-gimme-gimmesThe great punk supergroup Me First + The Gimme Gimmes (featuring Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape on the rhythm guitar, Australian rock legend, Lindsay “The Doctor” McDougall of Frenzal Rhomb on lead guitar, Lagwagon drummer and Fat Wreck utility superhero Dave Raun on the skins, with bass duties occupied by Bad Religion’s Jay Bentley, and rounded out by incomparable crooner Spike Slawson) touch down for two shows in New Zealand in October.

They’re kings of the novelty-cover – it’s a good-fun party-time, they’ll tackle just about any genre going and speed it up, strip it back and deliver it as a new anthem.

Performing all their best hits – and therefore so many hits from so many styles and other artists – it’ll be a singalong extravaganza.

Saturday, October 14, San Fran, Wellington (R18)
Sunday, October 15, Kings Arms, Auckland (R18)

Early Bird Pre-Sale, Wednesday, May 24 – 9am see here

Tickets on sale, Friday, May 26, 9am, via www.selecttouring.com.au
