Showcasing songs from throughout their career, up to and including their 2017 “Greatest-est Hits” album ‘Rake It In' last night, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes proved to a full house at Auckland's Powerstation that they are still a great covers band. Nay! The Greatest-est covers band today.

Some mimic Elvis, some have blinged-out suits that you’d catch your grandmother wearing at bingo night, and above all, they have some serious dance moves.

Why aren't there more super-groups these days, huh? Maybe it's because it's difficult to co-ordinate so many differing schedules…or egos? Perhaps in the currently dire geo-political state of the world, we've lost our sense of fun? Well it's ok, don't panic, that sense of fun has been found
