Joining them on this Australian tour, the punk-rock supergroup will consist of C.J. Ramone (The Ramones) on bass, John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt) on guitar and Andrew ‘Pinch’ Pinching (The Damned) on drums, as well as the usual suspects – Spike Slawson (Swingin’ Utters), Fat Mike (NOFX) Joey Cape (Lagwagon), former member Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) and Dave Raun (Lagwagon).
When duty calls for one of the Gimmes to perform with their other band, rest assured a travelling Gimme will step in. John Reis, guitarist and lead vocals for Rocket from the Crypt or Jonny “2 Bags” Wickersham from Social Distortion will be filling in. CJ Ramone from The Ramones may sub for Fat Mike.
Most recently we saw the UK import, Pinch from The Damned, on the skins. You never know what star-studded lineup you will get at a Gimmes show, but you know it will not disappoint – so be ready to see their Seppo faces again.
After seven studio albums, a live record and too many singles to count, they’ve tackled just about every genre under the sun. Be it Motown, country, show tunes, Japanese pop (sung in Japanese), the seasoned punk rock pros have triumphed on every occasion in a way only the Gimmes could.
