Fat Wreck Chords has posted a video from Fat Mike of NOFX regarding the singer’s now infamous SXSW performance as Cokie The Clown. The clip reveals that Mike did not, in fact, serve members of his audience shots of Patron Anejo tequila which had been watered down with his urine. Footage from a second camera reveals the bottles were switched before the singer took the stage.
