Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band formed in 1992 in Gainesville, USA. Their current line-up consists of Chris DeMakes (vocals, guitar), Roger Lima (vocals, bass), Matt Yonker (drums), Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone).
The band's name derives from a bird Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Song: 9th at Pine Band: Less than Jake Album: Losing Streak (1997) Words written by Vinnie, music by Roger, Chris and LTJ Transcribed by Luke Knox ([email protected])
I couldn't find the tabs for this song anywhere, so I figured it out myself. It sounds right to me, but try it for yourself.
Intro: A#A#G#D#D#F E--6---6-----4-----3--3---1- B--6---6-----4-----4--4---1- G--7---7-----5-----3--3---2- D--8---8-----6-----0--0---3- A--------------------------- E--------------------------- Play this 4x, then: G#G#G#G#D#D#D#D#
Verse progression: (repeated again and again): A#G# Which will it be? D#A# sympathy or apathy. . .
(you get the idea.) Chorus is just the intro chords.
Lyrics: (at the request of OLGA) Which will it be? Sympathy or apathy? Which part of the human condition will I believe? Tried then it's tested, I've just decided, I failed is it the crowd, or the way this is going down?
When it all came down, on that saturday night, should I choose a side at 9th at Pine? Can we stil say, we're civilized, watched some kid go down at 9th at Pine.
Is being human watching all this without a sound? Tried then it's tested, I've just decided, I failed Is it the crowd, or the way this is going down?
Well, that didn't take long! I hope this helps you. E-mail me with any comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks.
