Two decades on from ruining Jonny’s Bar Mitzvah, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are heading Down Under to wreak havoc at another important milestone, the Quinceañera.
The Band of the Long Weekend Tour comes in support of the punk rock cover band’s 12th album, Blow it…at Madison’s Quinceañera!. Ushering new songs and old favourites 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: “I would like this to be considered indicative of what a live show by the Gimme Gimmes can be.”
“The only difference is that there would be people that wanted to hear us specifically and came to see us,” he said.
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.
As part of their nine-date Aussie tour they’ll be playing at the Torquay Hotel on Friday 8 November 2024 and the Forum on Saturday 9 November 2024. Tickets go on sale on Thursday 18 July.
