Me First and the Gimme Gimmes- Rake It In: The Greatestest Hits

Label: Fat Wreck Chords

Released 2017

For the uninitiated, ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES consist of LAGWAGON frontman JOEY CAPE on the guitar, Shiflett brother (and FOO FIGHTER) Chris Shiflett on the other guitar, LAGWAGON drummer and Fat Wreck utility superhero Dave Raun on the skins, and are rounded out by Fat Wreck-head-honcho/NOFX main-dude Fat Mike, and incomparable crooner Spike Slawson. Together, ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES— an outfit that has always operated more like a beer-hall Pussycat Dolls than a regular mortal band—contain so much hot air, so much pomp, so much attitude, that it’s a wonder that these guys can still manage to pull their five individual tour buses into the same parking lot, put their differences aside and belt out the ballads without clawing each other’s eyes out. But they do, for the love of the fans, the music, and of course, the applause.
