‘No War for Heavy Metal’ tour (abridged) – 1999.
Following the release of Viewfinder#2, Channel 4’s documentary series The Other Side decided it would be a good idea to give the VF crew the chance to film a weeklong tour video and air the thing on the channel some time deep in winter 1999.
With Alan Glass, John Cattle, Tom Moore and Kingy on organisation/documentation duties, and John Rattray, Flynn Trotman, Paul Carter, Frank Stephens, Dan Cates, Nick Zorlac, Joel and Seth Curtis, Mark Channer, Alan Rushbrooke, and Harry Bastard all in tow to handle the skateboarding, what resulted was effectively a groundbreaking 30 minute tour video come TV show where spitting on the bible, admiration of service station porn mags and Cates’ outlandish outfits were all projected directly into the front rooms of the unsuspecting nation. The full thing is online somewhere I’m sure, but for now, here’s the abridged version.
