Announced on FatWreck.com, Fat Wreck Chords will be releasing a new Fat Mike album stating, 'that Fatty has joined forces with his friend Baz The Frenchman to create an extraordinary project: Fat Mike Gets Strung Out. This album takes NOFX’s beloved tunes and transforms them into classical masterpieces.' The album will be available Friday, September 15th, but you can hear the first song, “Fuck Day Six,” when you tune into Racketeer Radio KFQX as well as these digital platforms. Pre-order the album, and grab a bundle item while you can. For all digital folks out there, this pre-save link is for you.
Check out what Fat Mike had to say about the project below.
"Why make a strings album? It’s not because I always like to push my limits. It’s because I wanted to hear what my songs sound like without guitar chords and those pesky vocals and backup vocals. I wanted to hear every note in its purest form. I wanted a sad song to sound sad even though there are no words. I wanted to make something I thought my parents would play at a dinner party….well, if they were alive. I wanted to make something that would be liked by more than just punk fans. But mostly, I just wanted to have fun making an album I had never made before… And guess what? Baz and I are almost done with the next album. Fun!"
Along with the announcement comes the release of "Fuck Day Six," and the album also includes the previously released "I'm A Rat," which comes with a video of Fat Mike stage-bantering before the string ensemble begins.
NOFX will be in Tacoma on the 22nd & 23rd of this month on thier 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs Per Day 2023 TOUR
