Staying on the topic of cover songs, I thought I'd share Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, a punk rock "super group" that only puts out cover records. The band consists of:
Spike Slawson (of Swingin' Utters and Re-Volts)- vocals
"Fat" Mike Burkett (of NOFX)- bass
Chris Shiflett (of Foo Fighters)- guitar
Joey Cape (of Lagwagon)- guitar
Dave Raun (of Lagwagon)- drums
A typical Gimmes album has a theme like
Love Their Country or
Have a Drag which include country songs and showtunes, respectively. At their live shows they typically dress in costumes that relate to the theme.
