Aside from that, you can typically find us at any one of the bars or pubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. With the obvious exception of Hemlock Tavern, Zeitgeist, Moby Dick’s, Kezar Pub, Mad Dog In The Fog, Yancy’s, and Lucky 13. Duh.

Oh we get demos. Shitloads of them. Mike thinks it would be lame not to accept demos, but then again, he doesn’t have to listen to the fuckin’ things. If you must send us a demo, here is some advice: work on your songs, practice, and play shows. It takes years of hard work to be a band that people care about, and once you’re there, labels will know about you. Another thing, talent is not a requirement for Fat bands, but partying skills are.

So yes, we accept demos. Send them all here:

Oooh, Charro. That would be nice. Fat Wreck Chords is an independently owned and operated record label founded by Fat Mike and his wife Erin. They still own it and they both still run the place.

Yes.

Some of our biggest records are: NOFX The War On Errorism, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Have A Ball, the Rock Against Bush comps, Lagwagon Hoss, Short Music For Short People, No Use For A Name Leche Con Carne, Hi-Standard Angry Fist, and of course we’ve sold a boatload of the Fat Music comps. Contrary to the experts on the internet, Fat’s never had any gold or platinum records.

Whoa man, easy! The answer to that question is YES, almost all of the shirts we sell are sweat-shop-free and American made. There are a certain small few items that have yet to switch over, but we’re getting there. The change came about when Chris Head of Anti-Flag suggested it to Fat Mike, and he was like, “Sure, dude.” I know what you’re thinking, “Chris Head actually speaks?” But that’s an altogether different FAQ.

Zinester, You are probably wondering if we can send you promos, place ads in your zine or on your website or hook you up with interviews. Well, probably, yeah. But see, we need to see your zine first so we can be assured that it's not some hyphy fan-mag/site. Please send us a copy or link and make sure to include your address, phone number, and e-mail. Here’s where you need to send it:

FAT WRECK CHORDS
2196 Palou Ave.
San Francisco, CA 94124
ATTN: VANESSA

Just an F.Y.I., Vanessa does publicity. We look forward to seeing your zine.

Sorry we do not permanently link to other sites, but you are more than welcome to link to us.

Please note that we do not book the shows. If you want to play with one of our bands please contact your local promoter.

American Apparel shirts tend to run a little small so if you do not want a tight fit I suggest maybe going a size up. However, some of the older designs aren’t on American Apparel. Sooo, if it’s too tight, just cut off the bottom and make a sweet half-shirt. Just kidding, if you ever don’t like the size just return it and we’ll get you a new one.

Yeah…crap, what did we do wrong? It’s me, not you, right? Just respond to the newsletter and tell our web genius (ie: lives with parents) that you want off the list.

All of our tour dates are listed in the tours section of our website. If you do not see your state or country listed it is because there are presently no Fat Wreck dates confirmed there. This info is updated daily so keep checking.

Please contact your local promoter(s) and tell them to book the bands you like. Better yet, start booking your own shows!

You have to contact the band’s booking agent. If you can’t find that info then send an e-mail to mailbag@fatwreck.com and we can forward it for you. Only serious requests with detailed information will be forwarded.

Heh,
Can you send us some free stuff?

FAT WRECK CHORDS

We look forward to receiving your free stuff. Thanks a lot!

The cost of shipping is determined by a shipping calculator that is built into the site. The cost is based on the total weight of all the items being purchased and the current postal rates (First Class for U.S. orders, Airmail for International orders). The total will be given to you after you enter your billing info, but before you make the final confirmation of your purchase, so that you have a chance to review it. Any other import taxes and fees that are imposed on international orders are completely dependent on the country that you are ordering from. If you are ordering from outside the U.S. the best way to find out if you will be charged any import fees is to contact your local postal service.
