Description
What began in the backrooms of Wellingtons punk rock underground, with Jon Toogood, Tom Larkin, Phil Knight and Karl Kippenberger coming together to form a kickass band, would see Shihad transplanted to Germany, Australia and eventually, the musical Mecca of the U.S..
Encountering every obstacle in the rock book: drug abuse, tragic bereavement, alcoholism, fames distortions, relationships imploding under the pressure of constant absence, total breakdowns the band would beat all of it, playing up to 150 show a year and becoming the focus of a major label bidding war.
A wild ride from anonymity to being the next It band and into the present day, Shihad: Beautiful Machine is an unflinching look at the elusive reality of a true rock dream.
