NOFX to Detail Chaotic History in New Documentary ’40 Years of F-ckin’ Up’
NOFX are about to get inside your head — all over again. The punk band have announced the release of a feature length documentary, titled 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up, that will detail their storied history as drug-addled teen punks-turned-icons.
On Friday, founding member Fat Mike revealed that 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up is in post production while at The Punk Rock Museum’s NOFX exhibition. “Most people wouldn’t be OK with releasing a film that shows footage of getting whipped in their dungeon, or their drug use for the past 20 years, or dressing up like a rubber cheap whore, or the ambulance ride when they were naked while puking and shitting blood… I’m not like most people,” Fat Mike said in a statement.
In the official trailer for the documentary, Fat Mike is seen doing all of those crazy things, but the doc’s focus is all-encompassing. Directed by James Buddy Day, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up features interviews with fellow NOFX band members guitarist Eric Melvin, lead guitarist Aaron ‘El Hefe’ Abeyta, and drummer Erik Sandin. All three band members will serve as executive producers along with Gary Ousdahl, James Buddy Day, Cisco Adler, and Jon Nadeau for Pyramid Productions.
The documentary will also yield new NOFX music, which can only be heard by attending a showing of the film. Sneak peek screenings will be offered in Austin, Texas from March 15 to March 16 at Brushy Street Commons. After that, 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up will be screened at curated theaters worldwide, starting in April. Tickets will be available starting Feb. 20.
“Working with Fat Mike, the band, and the entire NOFX crew has been like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” Buddy Day said in a statement. “This is the punkest band ever — and their story is exactly as insane as you’d expect: hilarious, painful, reckless, and deeply human,” he said, adding, “Digging through decades of footage, I saw things I’ll never unsee — but that honesty is what makes this film essential.”
