Ah, nostalgia
The Angels are most often described as one of Australia's iconic rock and roll outfits; their high-energy shows in the late '70s and into the '80s could take a lukewarm audience and turn them into a screaming hyena pack. It was rock and roll, it was loud, and it was good.
The name of the doco is taken from a traditional audience response to a chorus line in one of the band's more famous songs: "Am I ever going to see your face again." Every time the band asked the question, the response roared back "No Way Get F*#ked F*#k Off!" Cathartic stuff for a teenager; but now almost an Australian cliché.
It's 30 years since the band played together; and here's a film about how a bunch of older rockers get back together and tour again. More wrinkles, more oxygen cylinders, more internal politics; and some brutal honesty. As a piece of film making it's not going to win awards, but as a trip down memory lane, it's worth the hour.
