Almost a year to the day of our first Less Than Jake show, my friends and I were travelling away from home to see the band again. For this year’s trip Phil’s Mum, Juanita and her partner kindly drove Jim, Phil and I to Plymouth. Ed, Greg and I believe Richard Wells (more on him soon)ContinueContinue reading “Saturday 22nd May 2004 – Less Than Jake w/ Capdown and The A.K.A’s at Plymouth Pavilions”

Tuesday 9th March 2004 – Reel Big Fish w/ Goldfinger, Zebrahead and The Matches at Southampton Guildhall
This was an absolutely massive bill at the time. I’m probably exaggerating but I’m pretty sure all of my friends went to this. It was my first time seeing Zebrahead, and the only time seeing them with original vocalist Justin Mauriello, who left the band in 2004. It was also my introduction to The Matches.ContinueContinue reading “Tuesday 9th March 2004 – Reel Big Fish w/ Goldfinger, Zebrahead and The Matches at Southampton Guildhall”
Sunday 25th January 2004 – Jesse James w/ My Dad Joe, Mr Miagi and None The Wiser at Mister Smiths, Bournemouth

Sunday 18th May 2003 – Less Than Jake w/ The Pietasters, Teen Idols and Allister at The Great Hall, Cardiff
I’d been to a couple of concerts and seen bands playing at events before this, but Sunday 18th May 2003 at The Great Hall in Cardiff was the first time I went to a show I’d booked to see, with musicians performing live. The headline band was Less Than Jake, a ska punk band from Gainesville,ContinueContinue reading “Sunday 18th May 2003 – Less Than Jake w/ The Pietasters, Teen Idols and Allister at The Great Hall, Cardiff”
