Gimmes in Australia by DAVE
After a day of cancellation issues on getting hear we finally make it. First show in Brizzy (Brisbane) was little shaky ,but a good time never the less There was about 1400 peeps and they were great. The jet lag started kickin in about midway through the set. i had gone to bed at 1am and woke up around 5:30am wide awake so i knew it was gonna get intersesting later. kent jamison and i went out and played 18 holes of golf that day as well so i was really asking to come crashing down at some point. Next we flew to Sydney had our 2nd show of the tour and it was a big improvement from the the previous night. Even the stage banter got a little better which is hard to believe i know,but it did. Tonight i s 2nd Sydney show and its a over 18 show so its gonna a be a Party for sure. Stay tuned.

later

The Gimmes are headed to Australia in January…without FAT MIKE (boo) but with MELVIN (yeah)! Here's a photo and statement from the band…

Fat Mike can't/won't go to Australia and New Zealand with the Gimmes in January because he misses his daughter too much and NOFX has gotten themselves so busy making their documentary, that he has been, and will continue to be, on the road part of each and every month next year. Fortunately Eric Melvin has no kids; he had such a good time covering for Mike in Europe last summer and the Gimmes had such a good time having him along, that he has agreed to do it again this January. So if any of you Aussies or Kiwis are pissed, fine… don't come, but please keep in mind:

a) Melvin does not talk as much so you get "more covers, less babble"
b) It was pretty much this or nothing

Fake Jackson will continue to cover for his brother Jake Jackson who we all know is very busy touring with his "side project".

PS: Cash will go on sale Tuesday, Nov. 6th at 11 AM PST

The new Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Dolly 7" comes out on Tuesday, Oct. 16th. FAT will also be putting up the first installment of the Fat Classic Colored Vinyl Series, Lagwagon's 1992 debut LP Duh. Both records will go on sale at 11AM PST. Note: If you order Lagwagon any time BEFORE 11AM on Tuesday, Oct. 16th, YOU WILL GET BLACK VINYL AND NOT COLORED VINYL so please wait.
 
 
Monday night's Gimmes show in Hollywood was a great turnout including Joel McHale from E! Entertainment's, The Soup, who seems to be a big Gimmes fan and would like the band to be on the program.  We had some technical difficulties with Scott's guitar amp due to an excited fan stampeding the stage and stomping all over everything then as soon as we got that in order, Mike's amp decided to act up.  Other than that the show was a typical Gimmes show with bad jokes and uncomfortable situations.  In other words it was great.  Thanks to everyone who came out and hope to see ya soon.

Atención vaqueros!!! Me First and the Gimme Gimmes just finished a successful European tour but the boot-scootin' boogie doesn't have to end. The Gimmes are about to hogtie your ears with an upcoming series of country 7" records to be released in the next couple of months. The Square Dance Series will feature 5 limited edition 7" records that you won't be able to quit! We are even going to make 1,000 of these little doggies on SQUARE SHAPED VINYL and this special version will only be available through Fat's mailorder store! Each release will feature one song from their latest record Love Their Country and one brand new, unreleased b-side. We're going to start it off with Dolly and it will feature the songs "Jolene" (album version) and "I Will Always Love You" (unreleased).

ALL CD's on sale over at Fat Wreck, Go get some!

Spring Has Sprung! 4 fer 3 Pre-Easter/Passover CD Blowout!


What do rabbits shooting unhatched chicken babies out of their asses, Jewish people and bloody doorknobs have in common? They are all things you see while on acid? Wait a second, it means SPRING IS HERE!!! In honor of the maladjusted child between winter and summer we decided to have a BIG SALE in our web store. From March 22nd to April 20th we are offering a "4 cds for the price of 3" promotion. Just throw 4 cds into your shopping cart and you will get one of them for FREE when you go to check out. This is way better than someone hiding chemically dyed embryos from you in some cruel, genetic scavenger hunt. I know that "Spring Forward, Fall Back" sounds like the name of a crappy hardcore record but we wanted to do something nice for all of you on this promising equinox. Ass, grass or Passover, you get a cd for free!"





*LIMITED COLORED VINYL

Also, it's your lucky day because we had a pretty significant warehouse find and no I don't mean the 15 or so half drank, diet cokes, sparkling waters and various tapioca ball drinks that Floyd leaves around like a squirrel hording nuts.  Enough about Floyd's nuts though because after we found some copies of Strung Out's
An American Paradox on blue vinyl (these are sold out now, sorry), we also found copies of these records on colored vinyl.  Order up buttercup!

Current mood:  drunk
Wrangler butts drive us nuts!!! Check out what you get (while supplies last) when you pre-order the new Me First and the Gimme Gimmes record Love Their Country from our webstore before it comes out on October 17th. We went ahead and put a delicious wild berry wine cooler in it for your viewing pleasure because this is actually what you would drink 3/4's of and then hurl in your Chevy side-step. It's wet AND it's dry. I think you'd better tell all your cowboy friends you drank 14 Buds instead of what your aunt drinks to "unwind" up at the lake so they won't brand you behind the barn. This thing will keep your hands warm and your tasty beverage cold while you are tippin' cows at midnight. Listen to Ghost Riders In The Sky and enjoy your new coozie.

And that's not all! If you pre-order from Interpunk you will get your very own collector set of Gimmes buttons (while supplies last).

But why pay when you can get it for free over at Punknews.org? New Me First and some hay? Too good to be true!
