A Fat Wreck is a documentary currently in production that focuses on Fat Wreck Chords, a San Francisco based independent punk label started in 1990 by Fat Mike (Mike Burkett) of NOFX and his wife at the time, Erin Burkett.
For better or worse, depending on who you ask, FAT Wreck Chords was a major player in the resurgence of punk rock in the early 90's with significant influence on the genre and and a very likely long lasting impact on the history of punk rock. This documentary aims to be the deepest look the outside world has been able to take on the unfolding of that history. The way it all came together told by the artists, recording engineers, and record label itself, as well as the impact they all had, as seen through the eyes of the fans, bands, writers, club owners, promoters, and everyone else influenced one way or another by this music. A FAT Wreck is the collaborative examination of the rise of a DIY scene, produced in the truest fashion of DIY, for a DIY audience.Guess what? The producers want your money to help pay for their food so they can finish the documentary. Sounds logical right? Donate here: .http://www.indiegogo.com/
