Ska punkers Less Than Jake assume positions in Dublin's Ambassador

Less Than Jake demonstrate why they're one of America's biggest cult acts when they headline Dublin's Ambassador Theatre on May 6.
Inveterate road warriors, the ska-punks have amassed a huge following with ditties like 'All My Friends Are Metalheads' and the KISS-goading 'Gainsville Rock City'.
Their dress sense may leave a lot to be desired but, by God, they don't half rock on stage.
