Findings

When Description Source
2018 Fat Mike and Eric Melvin joked about the 2017 Route 91 mass shooting, including saying that at least the victims were country fans rather than punk fans. NOFX subsequently apologized, explicitly calling the remarks shameful and insensitive. They lost sponsorship and festival support as a result. Source
2010 Fat Mike secretly urinated into a bottle of tequila and served it to audience members during a Cokie the Clown performance, revealing the prank afterward. The incident was investigated by Austin health authorities. Source
2004 Fat Mike founded PunkVoter to mobilize young people to vote, particularly ahead of the 2004 election. NOFX participated directly in the associated campaign, and the Rock Against Bush compilations and tour helped fund voter-registration and political outreach. Source
2004 Fat Mike organized Rock Against Bush, producing two compilation albums and a nationwide tour intended to mobilize opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War. Source
