Urgh! A Music War, the pioneering punk concert classic, returns to LA! Hollywood Entertainment proudly presents this unmissable cavalcade of counterculture with legendary musicians too numerous to list in full!
A raucous and rarely-screened record of the state of punk, post-punk, new wave, reggae, and ska, Urgh! A Music War is one of the great documents of live music. It is a uniquely breathless rush of back-to-back live performances featuring raw and righteous takes from Devo, X, XTC, Au Pairs, The Cramps, The Go-Go’s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Dead Kennedys, Pere Ubu, Athletico Spizz 80, Gary Numan, Klaus Nomi, Gang of Four, Chelsea, and many, MANY more…
Several of the film’s most memorable performances were filmed over two nights at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and one night at the Whiskey a Go Go in August 1980 along with sets from San Diego, New York City, Frejus, Paris, Portsmouth, and London.
