NOFX - Backstage Passport from Fat Wreck Chords is a documentary-style television series that first aired in 2008. The show is hosted by the members of the punk rock band, NOFX, including Fat Mike, Eric Melvin, El Hefe, and Erik Sandin. The premise of the show involves the band touring outside of the United States, and exposing themselves to different cultures, languages, and lifestyles. The band members embark on a journey to play shows in a number of countries, including Russia, Brazil, Japan, and South Africa, to name a few.

As the band travels to each location, they explore the city and immerse themselves in the local scene. They try the local cuisine, learn about the history and culture of the area, and even participate in some of the local traditions, such as Russian sauna or Japanese tea ceremony.

Throughout the series, there are a number of comedic moments as the band encounters language barriers, cultural differences, and technical difficulties during their performances. Despite these challenges, the band remains committed to putting on a good show for their fans, and their passion for music and punk rock shines through in each episode.

One aspect of the show that stands out is the intimate look at the behind-the-scenes aspects of touring. We see the logistics of what it takes to transport a band from one country to another, and the physical and emotional toll that touring can take on the members. There are moments where the band members express frustration with each other or with the tour, but they ultimately come together to make the most of the experience.

In addition to the band members, there are a number of other personalities that appear throughout the series. This includes local promoters, venue owners, and other musicians. Some of these individuals provide an insight into the local music scene, while others serve as comedic relief.

Overall, NOFX - Backstage Passport from Fat Wreck Chords is a fun and entertaining series that provides an inside look at the life of a punk rock band on tour. It's a must-watch for fans of NOFX or punk rock in general, but even those who are unfamiliar with the band may find themselves drawn in by the humor and the emotion of each episode.

The show's success has also led to the creation of a follow-up series, called NOFX - Backstage Passport 2, which continues to follow the band members as they tour around the world.

NOFX - Backstage Passport is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on April 1, 2008.
