2013!
Here we are, 2013 came in with a literal bang with us doing our first New Years Eve show ever and ending two decades of being a band. Last year we celebrated all year long, I mean 20 years of being a band is something to celebrate and I'm betting most of us wish we hadn't celebrated so hard. It's that time of the year to check in with everyone, Start some new projects, and end some of the ones we started. I was thinking about getting a lot of lest years live photos together from various photographers and maybe doing a small photo book or maybe doing a picture a day for a year for LTJ. So many good things to do and start. If you want to chime in on anything you can always reach out via email info@lessthanjake.com or twitter or Facebook. I respond to every email sent.
Thank for 2012 now let's start 2013!

and now a word from Buddy!
Well, I can't believe it; another year has come and gone when I, yet again, feel like it just started, but here we are diving headlong into the year 2013!! The President is just getting sworn in as I write this and somehow we already have so much on the horizon. We're playing the Florida State Fair in Tampa on Valentine's Day, going on a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas put on by the band "311" to kick off the month of March, and making our way in a van to play South by Southwest in Austin, TX with some shows on the way there and on the way back. Then we're going to fly over to Europe in April for a nice 10 day jaunt to play a few festivals including Groezrock in Belgium and round it out with some club shows while we're over there. But let's not put the cart before the horse. We've already begun writing some songs for what is to be a new record sometime this year. We're in the baby stages of writing so far, but I'm already excited about the 10 songs we have started, lots o' catchy melodies and guitar riffs, and some great lyrical starts. And JR and I are about to go work on some horn parts right after I finish this coffee. So, as you can see, the plan for this year is as always: busy busy busy!! Let the games begin!!!!

We recently announced a show in Orlando on Saturday, August 11 as part of our 20th Anniversary tour. Continuing a year-long celebration of two decades as a band, this Orlando date will be accompanied by a one-time-only limited poster show at The Beacham Theater. Tickets are available now at:
http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/127535
The Orlando show is part of a weekend of Florida dates for the band. We will play in Jacksonville on Friday, August 10. Two back-to-back performances in the band's hometown of Gainesville at the end of the month will cap a busy August for Less Than Jake, during which they will hop over to the UK to play the Reading and Leeds festivals. All of the band's tour dates can be seen below.
"Less Than Jake has always prided itself on thinking forward in terms of merchandise," drummer Vinnie Fiorello says. "From vinyl toys to Evo Kid piggy banks to cheese- and birthday cake-shaped records, we've always tried to give our fans as many unique products as possible to capture the material part of being a fan. Doing the poster show is an extension of our collective thought. It's special to us to be able to do something like this for our 20th anniversary."
The poster show will feature 20 different limited-edition screenprinted pieces of art celebrating Less Than Jake, an event made possible by Orlando natives Charlie Bender and Brad Palkevich. Bender and Palkevich own Enemy Ink, an arts- and music-focused custom screenprinting shop in Orlando, and they also head up local punk rock band The Attack. Bender sings and Palkevich plays guitar.
Enemy Ink and Less Than Jake have invited a variety of artists to the poster show. "From influential designers such as Horsebites, who has helped bring notoriety and an identifiable tone to much of the Florida music and print worlds, to artists like Joe Simko, who has contributed to ska and punk by creating artwork for The Vans Warped Tour on several occasions, we have a great group of artists gathered for this event," Palkevich says.
All of the 20 different designs will be hand-signed and numbered by the artists that created them. The posters will be limited to only 30 units of each design available at the Orlando event. Fans will be able to purchase posters beginning at the 6 p.m. door time and continuing throughout the night. Additional limited quantities of the posters will be available online for fans of the band who want to own a part of Less Than Jake history but don't live in Florida.
