Spike Slawson is the front man for the supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, the world's greatest cover band. The band is headed to Houston this week with tour mates Flogging Molly, Violent Femmes and THICK. Slawson talked tour, boleros, quinceañeras and how cover songs can close the generation gap with us, all ahead of the band's stop at Bayou Music Center.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' high priest Spike Slawson delivered a sermon on the goodness of the humble cover song last night to the faithful at Houston's House of Blues. Joined onstage by some very famous and skilled disciples of the art form, the band rolled for 90 minutes and had the audience drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
