Is anyone as excited about going to a screening of URGH! A Music War tomorrow at the Anthology Film Archives as I am? It's at 7PM and 10PM. If you don't know about this movie and you like Punk and New Wave then you should really check it out. It's one of my favorite movies.

URGH! A MUSIC WAR
1981, 96 min.
While merely competent in a cinematic sense, from a musical and historical sense, URGH! A MUSIC WAR is an amazing document of its time. The film boasts a staggering 34 bands, some legendary (The Police, UB40, Joan Jett), some infamous (Gang of Four, XTC, The Dead Kennedys, X), and some ultimately lost to the void (Skafish, Chelsea, Invisible Sex). This film found legs through late night cable in the mid 80s and periodically resurfaces to find new fans. This is a rare theatrical screening that is mandatory viewing for any fan of punk, post-punk or new-wave music.
