C4 & Dynamo Presents NOFX!

C4 & Dynamo Presents NOFX! New Zealand Tour 2007!

It’s been six long years since the “O.G’s” of the genre that has long since been watered down, packaged and sold to the masses – “Pop Punk”, toured the land of thelong white cloud, but ask anyone that’s seen NOFX – the wait will be well worth it...

Don’t know who NOFX are? Never heard of Fat Mike? Here’s some background: NOFX was formed 1983 and has since released 10 studio full lengths, about 6 EPs,and a metric ton of 7”s. They’ve somehow managed to sell over 6 million records worldwide, which is an unprecedented feat for an independent band. They’re true pioneers of the genre as they’ve toured all but one continent (no Antarctica yet, sorry).

No band has achieved more success independently, no band has turned down major labels and MTV more often.

After years of working with Epitaph records, the band switched to vocalist Fat Mike’sown imprint (Fat Wreck Chords). Thus began 2003’s “War On Errorism”, one of their most successful releases yet, and a record that catapulted the band into the mainstream of political press: Newsweek, CNN, NY Times, etc.

After that was yet another crackpot scheme: the band has been discussing playing 30 shows in 30 countries where they’ve never sold any records. The final frontiers of touring—from Bolivia to Burma—and they’re gonna capture it all on film. I wouldn’t expect that stuff to end up at Cannes. Sundance maybe? Who knows? .. what we DO know is that NOFX are stopping by for two shows in March! We also know that these shows are likely to sell out so the “kids” need to move fast or miss out!
