  • L'uomo: Interview with Fat Mike
    Leggi l'articolo su beautynews L'Uomo: interview with Fat Mike Skateboarding is now a global phenomenon. But skate punk is still very much a California thing. And one of the friendliest, most talkative representatives of that movement is surely Fat Mike, the lead singer and bassist of NOFX. Formed in 1983 by a group of Los Angeles skaters linked to the classic skateboarding magazine Thrasher, over the years NOFX has tirelessly toured the world and recorded many outstanding albums – including Punk in Drublic, Heavy Petting Zoo and White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean – which have sold over eight million copies. Fat Mike also created Fat Wreck Chords, one of America’s most successful indie record labels. Back in 2004 he was the man behind punkvoter.com, which he launched to mobilise young people against then President George W. Bush. In early 2021, NOFX released their new album called Single Album. Fat Mike now has a 16-year-old daughter, but he still swears and has spiked blue hair, likes to wear dresses on weekends, and states his political views even if the conversation isn’t about politics. Punk forever. I read that you’re super busy producing bands and even doing a musical. What else do you have going on these days? It’s been a crazy fucking year! Covid didn’t slow me down at all! I just figured, I can’t play, so I write every day. I have 40 new songs I’m working on. I’ve been sober for a few months and I try to exercise every day.

It includes work about the changing structures of the media, focusing particularly on work about the political and economic forces and social relations which shape and are shaped by media institutions, struc- tural changes in policy formation and enforcement, technological transfor- mations in the means of communication, and the relationships of all these to public and private cultures worldwide. Historical research about the media and intellectual histories pertaining to media research and theory are partic- ularly welcome. Emphasizing the role of social and political theory for in- forming and shaping research about communications media, Critical Media Studies addresses the politics of media institutions at national, subnational, and transnational levels.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 07.02.2020 Punk in Drublic Festival in Der
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 07.02.2020 Punk in Drublic Festival in der Hamburger Sporthalle Punk und Bier haben schon immer zusammengehört. Auch die Straight-Edge- Bewegung konnte diese Verbindung nicht ernsthaft gefährden, und nicht wenige Hardcore- Stücke thematisieren sie. Dass 1994 NoFX mit dem Album „Punk In Drublic“ einen Meilenstein des Genres veröffentlicht haben, ist nur beispielhaft zu nennen. Heutzutage ist Punk vielleicht nicht mehr das, was er mal war, hat sich verändert und sich neuen Richtungen geöffnet. Dem qualitativen Genuss zum Beispiel. Passenderweise hat Fat Mike, Sänger und Bassist von NoFX, ein kleines Festival ins Leben gerufen, das Craft Beer und Musik aufs Schönste kombiniert und es passenderweise „Punk in Drublic“ genannt. In diesem Jahr kommt die Veranstaltung erstmals nach Europa und Deutschland und verspricht auch hierzulande einen Tag zwischen Craft-Beer-Tasting mit regionalen, nationalen und internationalen Gersten-Getränken und jeder Menge Punkmusik. Nebenbei gibt es so illustre Attraktionen wie das Unglücksrad („Wheel of Misfortune“), bei dem es einmal Auspeitschen, Stiefellecken oder zumindest ein schales, warmes Bier zu gewinnen gibt. Ein Badminton-Court wird ebenfalls versprochen. Wer an dieser Stelle noch nicht vollständig überzeugt ist, den sollte wenigstens das Line-up dazu bringen, am 17. Mai in die Hamburger Sporthalle zu kommen. Neben den Legenden NoFX werden Frank Turner und seine Sleeping Souls, die Punkrock-Allstar-Cover-Könige Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, die beiden kalifornischen Skatepunk-Combos Pulley und Face to Face, die Kanadier von Comeback Kid und die Texaner von Days N’ Daze auf der Bühne stehen.
