West coast punk activists NOFX are set to ignite Dublin"s Olympia Theatre this April. NOFX have sold over 6 million records worldwide making them one of the most important and influential independent bands on the planet. Tickets from "28.50 including booking fee on sale now through all Ticketmaster outlets nationwide. Over 14"s are welcome.
NOFX was formed in L.A. back in 1983 and since then the band have released 10 studio full lengths" about 6 EPs" and a metric ton of 7"s. They"ve sold 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 band has achieved more success independently" and no band has turned down major labels and MTV more often. Although they"re reluctant to admit it" they"re musically influenced by bands like Bad Religion" Misfits" RKL" etc. At least they were back in the day" now they do all the influencing. After years of working with mega"indie Epitaph" the band switched to Fat Mike"s own imprint. 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.
