Fat Mike - Gets Strung Out
NOFX’s Fat Mike has announced Fat Mike Gets Strung Out, an album of orchestral re-imaginings of NOFX songs made in collaboration with Baz The Frenchman.
Mike says:
“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!”
