’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’ is Spinal Tap, but real. It’s a film about the infamous, fairly un-famous, and beloved punk rock band NOFX. This is the unbelievable story about how a group of untalented drug-addled teenage punks somehow became the most successful independent band in history. And they did it haphazardly all on their own.
“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
’40 Years of Fuckin Up’, is a film by NOFX, Directed by James Buddy Day (The Secrets We Bury, Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein, Thirst Trap: The Fame. The Fantasy. The Fallout., Fall River). Featuring Fat Mike, Aaron ‘El Hefe’ Abeyta, Eric Melvin and Erik Sandin. The film is Produced by Fat Mike. Executive Producers include: Fat Mike, Aaron ‘El Hefe’ Abeyta, Erik Sandin, Eric Melvin, Gary Ousdahl, James Buddy Day, Cisco Adler and Jon Nadeau for Pyramid Productions. Nathaniel Harper serves as the Director of Photography. Score by Fat Mike and Matt Nasir.
Quote from James Buddy Day: “Working with Fat Mike, the band and the entire NOFX crew has been like nothing I’ve ever experienced. This is the punkest band ever—and their story is exactly as insane as you’d expect: hilarious, painful, reckless, and deeply human. Digging through decades of footage, I saw things I’ll never unsee—but that honesty is what makes this film essential.”
40 Years of Fuckin Up’ will feature several unreleased songs from NOFX that can only be heard by attending a showing of the film.
