Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (MFGG or the Gimmes) is a punk rock super group and cover band formed in San Francisco in 1995. The band includes Spike Slawson, CJ Ramone, Joey Cape, Pinch, and John Reis, with past members Dave Raun, Chris Shiflett, and Fat Mike. Known for their rapid-fire punk renditions of a wide range of songs, the Gimmes released their first single in 1995 and their best-selling album, “Have a Ball,” in 1997. Each album has a unique theme, covering genres from show tunes to country and western.
They’re inventive ways of re-working classic songs and making them tongue- in cheek- entertainment is both unique and a lot of fun. It’s a fast paced, in your face show that is no- stop laughs. Not taking themselves too seriously – or the audience too seriously for that matter, they put on a fantastic show.
