Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are a punk cover band composed of members of other well known bands such as Swingin’ Utters, NOFX, Foo Fighters, and Lagwagon, who all play in Me First and the Gimme Gimmes as their schedules permit. Their first live performance was on 4/20/1996 at the Chameleon Club in San Francisco.

The studio core comprises Spike Slawson on vocals, bassist Fat Mike, Joey Cape on guitar and backing vocals, Dave Raun on drums, and Chris Shiflett on guitar (his brother Scott of Face To Face/Viva Death fills in for Chris on tour). Touring members have included Brian Baker (Bad Religion/Minor Threat), Barry DaLive (Crosstops/RKL), Eric Melvin (NOFX), Matthew MacNasty (bagpipes player from the Real McKenzies), and Warren Fitzgerald (The Vandals).

Originally a themed 7” singles project, now each of their full length albums covers a different genre of music spanning the 50’s to the 90’s. Their first release in 1997 was entitled Have A Ball, followed by Are A Drag in 1999. In 2001 they released Blow In The Wind and two years later released Take A Break. Almost immediately after the release of Take a Break the released a live album Ruin Johnny’s Bar Mitzvah The genres they’ve butchered now include country, on Love Their Country featuring covers of songs made popular by The Dixie Chicks, Johnny Cash and others. Their most recent release is a collection of B-sides from their album Have a Ball, simply titled Have Another Ball.
