| Summary |
Thirty years ago The Angels were kings of the Australian rock scene. Eight and a half years ago lead singer Doc Neeson was involved in a horrific car accident and was forced to leave the band. One year ago he and the rest of the original members were talking through lawyers in a bitter legal battle over naming rights. And then Doc's manager David Edwards had an idea. Instead of tearing each other apart, why don't they just put the band back together again? That was the start of an uncertain journey as the five original members Doc Neeson, John and Rick Brewster, Chris Bailey and Buzz Bidstrup began to re-discover the magic which made the legend. The fly-on-the -wall documentary No Way, Get F*#ked, F*#k Off! tells the story of this iconic Australian band's uneasy reconciliation. The Angels wrote songs which became the soundtrack to a generation growing up in the golden years of pub rock and outdoor music festivals. This year marks the 30 years since Face To Face was released, an album that remained in the charts for an unprecedented two years. The first single Am I Ever Going to See Your Face Again? is the song which inspired the now legendary audience chant "No way, get fucked, fuck off!" No Way, Get F*#ked, F*#k Off! reveals never before seen video of the band's early days shot by lead guitarist Rick Brewster. Director Ben Ulm searched through hours of Hi-8 video to find candid backstage material from The Angels' heyday, as well as footage of performances by Moonshine Jug and String Band, the first band formed by Doc Neeson and the Brewster Brothers.Filmed over three months shooter/producer Stu McCarney and director Ben Ulm were give access to rehearsals, band meetings, backstage, dressing rooms and centre stage. The resulting documentary is a remarkably personal story full of raw emotion, great music and candid insights into a rock legend.No Way, Get F*#ked, F*#k Off! will screen on SBS as the reunited band prepare to embark on their Night Attack Tour. .
