Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (often shortened to MFGG or the Gimmes) are a punk rock supergroup and cover band that formed in San Francisco in 1995. The band's lineup consists of Spike Slawson, Fat Mike, Joey Cape, and Dave Raun. Chris Shiflett is a former member.

The Gimmes work exclusively as a cover band. They specialize in rapid-fire punk interpretations of a wide range of songs, often with a humorous edge.

The band is named after a children's book of the same name by Gerald G. Jampolsky and Diane V. Cirincione.

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
Me First And The Gimme Gimmes have a strong interest in Australia as a band. While being no strangers to Australian soil, both with this band and their other projects, the band also released an EP of covers by tracks from Australian bands back in 2011. We caught up with the band's guitarist Joey Cape just before their recent tour.
