About the film: Widely regarded as one of the essential documents of the late-1970s and early-1980s New Music scene, URGH! A MUSIC WAR has rarely been shown theatrically since its original release. The legendary 1981 concert film captures 34 bands in performance, from well-known acts such as The Police, Devo, X, Joan Jett, XTC, The Go-Go’s, and Gary Numan, to underground pioneers including Dead Kennedys, Magazine, The Cramps, Pere Ubu, Au Pairs, and Klaus Nomi. Shot and recorded with unusual clarity for its era, the film allows each band to perform in its own authentic style.
