Less than Jake (USA) with support from The Bennies (AUST)

LESS THAN JAKE Announces Their First New Zealand Tour Since 2014!

The story of ska-rockin’ maestros Less Than Jake isn’t told in their sizable discography. It can’t be calculated by the amount of road miles they’ve logged. From sweaty club shows to uproarious festival dates to opening for America’s most beloved rock acts, these five lifers’ deeds are best measured in the smiles they’ve slapped on the faces of true believers and new listeners, alike.

Silver Linings is the name of the new Less Than Jake album, their first full-length for the Pure Noise label and the follow-up to 2013’s See The Light. It also doubles as a bunch of sonic diary pages and a mission statement that cements their conviction after two decades in this rock ‘n’ roll circus.

Indeed, LTJ—frontman/guitarist Chris DeMakes, bassist/vocalist Roger Lima, trombonist Buddy Schaub, saxophonist Peter “JR” Wasilewski and new drummer Matt Yonker—have escaped most (but not all) forms of ennui, depression and violence against screen-based objects to create an endorsement of humanity.

Whether you heard them on the PlayStation game ‘Street SK8ER’ or the Summer Driving Album ‘Busted’ that Universal NZ Released, classes of 1995-2000 it’s time to party!

Joining Less than Jake is Aussie’s Psychedelic reggae ska doom metal punk rock band The Bennies. Known for their high energy live shows. To date, the band have released four studio albums and two EP’s. The Bennies were last here in Auckland March last year and their kiwi fan base continues to grow!
