Biography:
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!
This is the acoustic version of Sleep it Off (a criminally underrated LJT
b-side), I've designed this tab to be played with open chords wherever
possible (F# and C# being the exceptions). To see how this is played do your
homework and seek out the live acoustic version of this track, which I seem
to remember being a free download at some point. Enjoy!
