Fat Mike and Eric Melvin of legendary punk rock band NOFX entertained the crowd at Occupy Los Angeles on Sunday. The two were joined by Johnny of Old Man Markley another Fat Wreck Chords band. This was a free show that almost didn't happen when some speed metal band decided last minute to compete for attention. Luckily that didn't last long and the NOFX members were given their chance.
It was an amazing set which included a song written by Mike specifically for the Occupy Movement. Its a catchy tune which the crowd insisted they play twice. Not many bands could get away with that. This was urban camping at it's best with no real stage just a small crowded concrete area surrounded by tents. Tomorrow police are expected to close down the park and force everyone to leave. That's why today's free concert was appreciated so much by all in attendance.
