History
Origins
Before Less Than Jake, Vocalist and guitarist Chris Demakes and drummer Vinnie Fiorello led a local band named Good Grief with bassist Shaun Grief while attending high school in Port Charlotte, Florida. A guitarist is a Musician who plays the Guitar. Guitarists may perform solo pieces or play with ensembles and bands of a wide variety of genres A drummer is a Musician who plays a Drum or drums particularly a Drum kit ("drum set" or "trap set" Marching percussion A bass player (bassist is a Musician who plays a Double bass, Bass guitar, keyboard bass or wind Port Charlotte is a Census-designated place (CDP in Charlotte County, Florida, United States. Good Grief broke up when Chris moved north to attend the University of Florida at Gainesville, Florida. The University of Florida ( Florida or UF) is a public land-grant, sea-grant, space-grant major Research Gainesville is the largest City in and County seat of Alachua County, Florida, United States. On July 13th, 1992, what would become Less Than Jake was born. While Shaun moved to New York City (he would later return as the band's roadie), Chris and Vinnie started writing songs on the weekends before Vinnie joined Chris at the University of Florida. [1] When Vinnie arrived, the two decided they needed a bass player. But first, they wanted a name. Says Fiorello,
- "We decided before we tried to get a bass player we'd zero in on a name for the "band" - to either (A) - make it seem like we had our shit together or (B) - make ourselves feel better. I think it was (B) or maybe it was just so I could write it over and over again on notebook paper during my anthropology class. "[2]
They decided to name the band after the dog Vinnie's family had owned while growing up in New Jersey. An 80lbs. pit bull, the pet was treated far more generously by his parents than, indeed, Vinnie himself was. With its own spot on the couch and takeout food ordered specifically to feed it, most everything else in the house was dubbed as being "less than Jake. "[3] Jake is also a term often used to describe something as good. After practicting with a different bass player for a couple of weeks, the band met Roger Manganelli, a guitarist who also attended the University of Florida. After Roger practiced with the band on guitar for a few hours, the band kicked the bass player out and asked Roger to play the bass with them. Citing influence from Snuff, the band decided they wanted to add a horn section. Snuff is a type of smokeless Tobacco. There are several types used in different ways but traditionally it means Dry/European nasal snuff which is inhaled In 1993, the group added their first horn player, Jessica Mills, and releasd their first 7" record, Smoke Spot, hand pressing all 300 records themselves. In a Symphony orchestra the horn section is the group of musicians who play the horn (sometimes referred to as the French horn a brass instrument descended Soon after, trombone player Buddy Schaub joined the band. The trombone is a Musical instrument in the brass family Like all brass instruments it is a lip-reed Aerophone: sound is produced when the player’s Over the first few years, the band put out their first EP, Better Class Of Losers, made compilation appearances, and released several vinyl records (featuring songs that would later appear on Losers, Kings, and Things We Don't Understand compilation, before Mike Park agreed to release the band's debut album on Dill Records. Losers Kings and Things We Don't Understand is a compilation album by Less Than Jake, released on No Idea Records in 1995 Right before the band's first U. S. tour in June 1995 with Skankin' Pickle, Schaub had already made plans to travel to Europe with his friends. Skankin' Pickle was a San Jose California based Ska punk sextet during the late 1980s and early 1990s The band found a temporary replacement in saxophonist Derron Nuhfer, who filled in for Schaub during his absence. The saxophone (commonly referred to simply as sax) is a conical- bored transposing Musical instrument considered a member of the Woodwind After speculation that Derron would (and then wouldn't) join the band, Derron became a permanent member in August 1995.

Laverne & Shirley was a popular American television Situation comedy that ran on ABC from 1976 to 1983 The title of the album stemmed from Roger and Vinnie's unexplained fondness for PEZ candy, clearly apparent in their reportedly sizable Pez dispenser collections. PEZ is the brand name of an Austrian candy the pocket mechanical dispensers for such candy and an abbreviation of PEZ Candy Inc The name is partly a homage to their obsession and partly a parody of the way in which many bands are described as [something]-core.
