August Screenings of 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up at the Punk Rock Museum!
’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, entirely on their own.
Join us every Friday in August for screenings of ’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’ at the museum. Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the screening begins at 7:30 pm.
Anyone who purchases a ticket to the screening will receive 25% off general admission to the museum at the door. Film tickets are available here!
Artifact of the month: 924 Gilman Street – Original Back Door
924 Gilman Street Original Back Door – Steel door covered in stickers and graffiti, late 1980s.
Donated by the volunteers of 924 Gilman Street. Founded as a nonprofit, all-ages, volunteer-run venue in Berkeley, California, 924 Gilman Street opened on December 31st, 1986, after years of organizing by Maximum Rocknroll founder Tim Yohannan, Victor Hayden, and a collective of dedicated volunteers.
Built on the DIY principles of inclusivity, community, and independence, Gilman became a safe space where punk bands and fans could connect outside the traditional music industry. As one of the longest-running independent music venues in the United States, it has played a defining role in punk history.
924 Gilman is best known as the launching pad for the 1990s punk revival, helping shape the careers of influential bands including Green Day, Operation Ivy, Rancid, AFI, and The Offspring.
