LESS THAN JAKE IN CONCERT:
There are those who say that ska is dead, and then there are those who have been to a Less Than Jake show recently. The ska punk favorites prove the genre is alive and kicking every time they take the stage, flooring fans with high-octane performances of their melodic, brass-heavy tunes. From the charging drums and distorted guitars of "She's Gonna Break Soon" to the horn-filled chorus of "All My Best Friends Are Metalheads", Less Than Jake deliver a skank-worthy concert experience that's sure to satisfy diehard fans and newbies alike.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Less Than Jake formed in Gainesville, FL in 1992 and quickly built a local following with their fast-paced live shows and early seven-inch singles. They released their debut album Pezcore in 1995, then signed with Capitol Records the following year for their sophomore album Losing Streak. The record charted in the UK and was an underground hit in the US, leading to shows with Guttermouth and The Descendents as well as a stint on the 1997 Vans Warped Tour. The band's success continued in 1998 with their third album Hello Rockview, which scored them a Top 40 hit on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart with the song "History of a Boring Town". Since then the band has released five more acclaimed albums including 2003's wildly popular Anthem, which they supported on tour with Fall Out Boy and another stretch on the Vans Warped Tour. In 2013 the band released their eighth album See the Light, a stellar collection of upbeat ska punk tunes that has ticket buyers eagerly awaiting their upcoming tour dates, looking for a repeat of venues sold out to capacity, like House of Blues (San Diego), from the band's previous run.
The energy and the band was incredible. Great show as always. The venue was cramped. 1300 people in a building meant for 500. Way too packed. Would have been nice if they reserved some space for the old punk rockers that want to enjoy the music without the mosh pit.
Was an absolute amazing show. Great line up Great energy from all the bands. I’ve seen them all but the raging Nathan’s before a lonnng time ago and they all still rock it like they were in their twenties still. Hope to maybe see some of them again with NOFX this summer!?! Also had to add: it was awesome how half the audience (including ourselves) was popping Advil and talking about how it was past their bedtime. Hahahah
Less Than Jake put on an amazing show in Toronto!! I’m so glad I made the trip from Buffalo, NY.
constant slam dancing, crowd surfing, skanking, a fat dude got up on stage to dance with them...overall I say it was worth seeing
LTJ was awesome! The vibe at the show was so good! The opening bands were good and brought good energy, but Less Than Jake knocked it out of the park with their legendary stage presence, packed with good vibes, jokes, audience and security guard participation. Do not miss LTJ if you get an opportunity to see them!
Thank goodness for the band. Great music great show wish the sound in certain areas of the venue were better but all round awesome experience!!
Saw them less than a year ago perform Hello Rockview in it's entirely and this time was somehow better, maybe it because it was a slightly smaller venue that Irving Plaza, may it was the openers really brought, whatever it was, this was great show, I'm glad I got to hear this album at least one more time live.
I took my son and his first to their first show. We had an amazing experience. Can't wait to go back.
Great show! Band sounded awesome. Venue had delicious food. The VIP experience was well worth the money. Will be seeing Less Than Jake again next time they come to town!
One of the most fun shows I’ve ever been to! 5 stars
