NOFX The NOFX frontman played a harrowing acoustic show in Texas as Cokie The Clown - and the video's not for the faint-hearted.

The show opened with Fat Mike pouring a load of tequila shots for the front row of the audience as he took to the stage on the final night of South By Southwest. He then necked a few himself; a detail which becomes more important later.

The frontman proceeded to tell a series of deeply shocking tales interspersed with acoustic performances that involved him witnessing a rape, stealing from the room of a friend who'd just committed suicide, euthanising his own mother and an anecdote involving a groupie "who wanted to be milked like a cow". Knowing NOFX, and Mike himself, there's no way of verifying these stories, but various web-based reports suggest they're probably true.

He finished his set by playing a video that of him urinating into the same tequila bottle he'd poured the shots from, just before he walked onstage. Yup, he fed the crowd his own piss.

Unofficial videos of the whole set are below. Pretty weird, right?
