Me First and the Gimme Gimmes/Masked Intruder/PEARS

Including members from different bands in the punk world (NOFX, Foo Fights, Bad Religion), punk supergroup Me First & The Gimme Gimmes have worked exclusively as a cover band for the last two decades. The band takes popular music and adds a punk formula, shortening the songs, adding solos and re-imagining vocals. Each of its albums focuses on a different theme, ranging from country to broadway musicals. Their latest album, Are We Not Men? We Are Diva! features a collection of covers originally performed by divas. At shows, they play a collection of their most famous covers; you’ll hear everything from songs by R. Kelly and Madonna to John Denver and Dolly Parton filtered through a punk lens. (Johnny Cook)
