Less Than Jake recently brought their all-ages show to Seattle’s renowned Showbox venue. The crowd was engaged in a frenzy of singing, dancing, moshing, and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Meanwhile co-lead singers Chris DeMakes and Roger Lima exhibited boundless energy which was perfectly matched by trombonist Buddy Schaub darting around the stage and hyping up the sold-out crowd. The band is presently on tour, commemorating the 25th Anniversary of their iconic 1988 pop-punk album titled Welcome to Rockview.
