What Urgh! A Music War Is About
A concert film shot between August and October 1980 in clubs, theatres and halls across the United States, England and France, with thirty-six bands from the punk, new wave and post punk scene playing one after another. The Police, Devo, Dead Kennedys, XTC, The Cramps, Gary Numan, Klaus Nomi, Echo and the Bunnymen, UB40, Joan Jett, The Go-Go’s and Pere Ubu are among them; alongside the known names are groups almost nobody had heard of, including one that appears to have been filmed on its only public outing. Derek Burbidge directed, Michael White and Lyndall Hobbs produced. The film explains nothing and puts no interviews between the songs; it lines the performances up and leaves the energy of that year unbroken. The record gives the year as 1981 while its own summary says 1982, and the release dates do differ from country to country.
