Evidently the remote town of 'Wadeye' deep in the northern Australian outback has aboriginal 'metal gangs' such as the Slayer mob and the Megadeth mob.

This is a pretty cool documentary about a couple of whites from S. Australia who drive to the village and try and meet the gangs.

Watch as they get in with the 'Slayer mob' , eat some kangaroo roadkill and get scared away from the river by the marauding 'Evanescence mob' before heading to a metal disco in a shack.

my wife & i watched this a few weeks back, very interesting + if not a bit sad when u see the isolation, standard of living, & average age of mortality.

very wise to have chosen an anthropological viewpoint in the film, paralleling between traditional dance & the modern mutation of such. myself, i'm in the Venom gang...sometimes the Maddona gang too. ;) - Mon, 4 Jan 2010 4:09pm
