In 1982, the world first saw and heard Urgh! A Music War, which was a culmination of planning and filming in 1980, capturing an incredible point in time for music! Spurred on by the Copeland brothers, Derek Burbidge, Michael White and Lyndall Hobbs organized the bands with tour plans, and cool venues in multiple cities.

The format was one band, then another, and another, battle of the bands-style! The list of the bands is astounding!

Looking back, not only were the bands amazing, but the film and audio quality, especially for 1980, was spectacular!
