Fresh off their Asian tour, Melbourne’s Backyard Surgeons have posted the trailer for their punk rock documentary, “No Anaesthetic”. Watch the trailer here. The band took Qiao Li on tour to document their travels in a part of the world many bands avoid. This is what he had to say about the film:
“Melbourne punk-rock five-piece Backyard Surgeons decided in 2010 that with no money, no label and no help they wanted to go on a road trip tour through post-communist China and South-East Asia. 31 days, 18 shows, 14 cities, 4 countries, 1 band. They walked, they ran, they drank, they fell, they fought, they swore, they laughed, they sang, they dreamt, they reflected, they learnt. They had the time of their lives. What started out as a DIY touring holiday became much, much and I was there to catch it all on camera. No managers, no money, no limits, no regrets. NO ANAESTHETIC.”
