No tenía ni puñetera idea de que ésto existía!!!
Resulta que a principios de los 80 se hizo una película con diversas actuaciones de las bandas más representativas del momento, en una mezcla de New Wave, Punk Rock, Hardcore, Post Punk...Eran trozos de conciertos, que, sin ningún tipo de comentario, fueron filmados en Estados Unidos y en Inglaterra y montados en URGH! A MUSIC WAR.
Actuaciones memorables, desde The Cramps a Oingo Boingo, que dándome una vueltecita por youtube he ido videando poco a poco. La peli no se ha reeditado por mamonadas varias de derechos, así que sigue en VHS y en trocitos en el youtube, abajo os dejo un par de ellos. De la peli se sacó un album doble con las actuaciones en directo, aqui el enlace para descargar (ojo little talibans, es muy variado!) I SUPPLY THE COUNTRY...
Aqui un corta y pega del wikipedia:
Urgh! A Music War consists of a series of performances, without narration or explanatory text. All performances are live, recorded around 1980, mainly in England and the USA. Clips were also taken from a concert in Fréjus, Var, France with the Police, XTC, Skafish and UB40 among others.

To coincide with the film, A&M Records released a double-album soundtrack. The selection of songs was almost the same as the film, but there were a few minor changes and several acts featured in the film did not make it to the album (John Cooper Clarke, Chelsea, Surf Punks, Invisible Sex, Splodgenessabounds).

Urgh! A Music War acquired a cult following in the United States in the 1980s due to its frequent showings on USA Network. It was aired on VH1 Classic on October 30, 2006 as part of its Rock and Roll Picture series. The film has been released on videocassette but not on DVD. The film rights are currently owned by its original producer, Miles Copeland (founder of IRS Records), however the rights to distribute the film on electronic medium have been "lost" as a result of the collapse of the failed CED or SelectaVision video format. In order to promote the adoption of the format, RCA purchased exclusive rights to Urgh! such that it could not appear on any other media without re-negotiation. When Thomson acquired RCA, SelectaVision was a dead issue for them. It is rumored that three songs from each band were filmed and saved during the editing process, and that Copeland has these in storage. This means that, should the rights ever be resolved, there is the potential for a six-hour special edition, possibly containing over 100 songs.

Exhibition rights were retained by Copeland, and Urgh! has been shown on TV numerous times, including recent airings on VH1 and various cable-only channels. As the film prints aged and songs became damaged, airings were often edited to remove damaged songs. In some cases additional material not filmed for the movie was added to fill space. In particular, Night Flight aired a heavily augmented version of the movie spread out over an entire night on several occasions. This included additional material by Wall of Voodoo, The Cramps and Alleycats that were not filmed for the movie, as well as other bands that would have been popular at the time. Notably missing from almost all recent broadcasts is the Gary Numan song "Down in the Park". This clip was actually filmed by Derek Burbidge for the Gary Numan concert film Micromusic. Because Numan once again owns the rights to this footage, it is speculated that he has refused the broadcast rights to the clip.

Other portions of Urgh! appear elsewhere in film and video: The Klaus Nomi clip "Total Eclipse" appears in the 2004 documentary The Nomi Song, and details of its filming are discussed. The 1982 documentary The Police: Around The World was also filmed by Derek Burbidge and features footage used in Urgh! as well as other footage filmed at the same concert.

In addition to recent cable showings, some of the remaining intact prints of the movie have toured the country in recent years (one tour sponsored by the humor periodical The Onion), and video showings in clubs and film houses have sparked a resurgence of interest in the film.
