LESS THAN JAKE
Performing in Montreal and Toronto
It’s been a wild and crazy ride for Gainesville’s Less Than Jake, who first met at the University Of Florida over a decade and a half ago. But instead of kicking their feet up and resting on their laurels, the ever-busy quintet have been working hard on the next chapter of Less Than Jake. Successfully extricating themselves from their major label contract (even though they still owed one more record to the label), they started their own label, Sleep It Off Records, and now are in the driver’s seat. “After a decade and a half of being in the band, we are now our own bosses for real and the excitement of that can peel paint off the walls,” says drummer Vinnie.
“People have a preconceived notion that Less Than Jake is a ska/punk band, that we’re wacky and silly, and that may be a certain side of ourselves live, but there’s also another side and that’s a beautiful thing about our band – it’s multi-headed,” he says proudly. “We can be different things at different times; we can be socially relevant and we can still be musically relevant 16 years after being together, still progressing musically, not only as players, but as far as musical direction. We can jump outside the box of what people expect, and now that we’re in control, what you’ll be getting is Less Than Jake -unfiltered and over-amplified.”
