Biography

Punk rock supergroup that exclusively performs cover songs, formed in 1995 by musicians on the Fat Wreck Chords roster. They reinterpret popular songs in a punk rock style, often working in musical interpretations of existing punk songs. Each of their albums has a different musical theme. The bulk of their output has been on Fat Wreck Chords, with some singles and EPs released on other independent labels.
The band was formed by bassist "Fat Mike" Burkett (NOFX), guitarists Joey Cape (Lagwagon) and Chris Shiflett (then of No Use For A Name, using the alias "Jake Jackson"), drummer Dave Raun (then of Rich Kids On LSD, soon to join Lagwagon), and singer Spike Slawson (who worked in the Fat Wreck Chords warehouse and later joined Swingin' Utters).
Due to the members' other commitments, many fill-in musicians have performed with Me First And The Gimme Gimmes on tour. Examples include Brian Baker, Schiflett's brother Scott Shiflett, Eric Melvin, Adam Stern, Mark Mortensen, Grant McIntire, Barry Dalive, Warren Fitzgerald, Lindsay McDougall, Chris Cheney, Stacey Dee, Andrew Pinching, John Wickersham, John Reis and Jake Kiley. Since 2014, Burkett has seldom performed live with the group; Jay Bentley and C.J. Ramone have often served as touring bassists in his stead. In 2019, Chris Shiflett stated that he was no longer involved with the group.
