Me first and the gimmie gimmies

Last night I went to the me first and the gimmie gimmies show with none other than Joe of course.

We skipped the first opening band, and came late for the second. The crowd seemed to know the second, but in my old age I guess I dont know what these young kids are listening to anymore. Actually I was surprised anyone is picking up on new punk bands anymore, thats so last decade (or even the decade before).

Me first came out strong. Joe and I thought the lead singer spike looked like a skinny Elton John with his white suit and haircut, but later another band member (fat mike i think, i couldnt really see over the db infront of me) described his haircut as more of a lesbian hitler haircut. Someone in the crowed yelled "you suck" to which they responded "dude, we are me first and the gimmie gimmies, we are NO ONES favorite band, but how can you not like us? YOU suck". There was a lot more amusing conversation among the band between every song. They played a lot of the ones I love and a few I hadnt heard before (but just because i've been slacking on some of their cds). It was a very entertaining show and I'd definitely go see them again (although i hope they come on a weekend next time)
