NOFX Birmingham (live shoot)
Phew, this gig was a rollercoaster of fun. i got my pass sorted ages ago via my PR contacts and all was sweet. Untill the night of the gig when i had to prove who i was, then prove i had got a pass, print out the e-mails from the PR rep and still argue to get in. Though all this i missed all the bands but NOFX. But to be honest i did not really care, aslong as i got to shoot Fat Mike and Company all would be groovy.
The set list was a great mix of new and old, with my all time fave song, ” bottles to the ground” getting a play. Very very good set, very very good band.
NOFX (pronounced “no ef-ex”) are punk rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1983. The original lineup included singer/bassist Fat Mike, drummer Erik Sandin, and guitarist Eric Melvin. Since 1991, the lineup has remained the same, with El Hefe playing guitar and trumpet. They have released 10 full-length studio albums, 15 EPs, and many 7” singles. The group has sold over 6 million records worldwide, making them one of the most successful independent acts of all time.
NoFx have some became one of the most loved and inspiring bands not only in punk rock but as a band inside the ugly music buisness.
