Blow it…at Madison's Quinceañera! is the twelfth album by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, released in 2024 on the Fat Wreck Chords independent record label.[1]. The album is unusual for the band in that it has no overarching theme, but does feature a number of songs in Spanish. The album is a live recording at a real Quinceañera celebration on July 15, 2023 at the Soap Factory, San Diego[2]. The band performed as a surprise guest to an audience unfamiliar with their music, echoing their earlier concept from the 2004 live album Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah.[3]
