The Au Pairs - Come Again (Urgh! A Music War)

[@CHIRPYCHALLONER]

my dear ursula.sometimes it is best to leave things as they are.what we achieved burnt us out as we put our all into this band and it took it's toll(for rock'n'roll).Please continue to get a vibe off the few recordings we did and i hope you have a fulfilling life.many thanks and don't sell out.cheers Pete Hammond

[@jamesbelljr7987]

A great song from one of the best rock documentaries ever made..Urgh! A Music War introduced me to a bunch of bands

[@moss1310]

This film was BRILLIANT! A true document of the importance of post-punk music. The Au pairs were one of the highlights!

[@UnderStoryProd]

This from what has to be one of the most under rated films of all time.

[@gary_payton]

I don't know about underrated. It pops up on knowledgeable critics lists all the time. However it is largely unknown these days by the public. Honestly a preservation company like Criterion needs to put out a definitive restored b ray version.

[@gogoyubari366]

What makes you believe it's underrated?

[@wolfey7]

I love Urgh! What cutting edge bands!

[@HermanWaldorf]

best rock documentary ever.

[@Sjaak]

Thanks for sharing.. One of the best bands of the 80's

[@Hollywoodin2001b]

I am of the approximate age group of these bands and audiences. I'm watching the movie for the first time right now! I bought the vinyl double LP at the time. So raw, no polish, just like a gig would be.

[@1x1x1x1]

god, i miss the edginess and rawness of energy of the music of the late 70's.

[@1111makala]

Love Jane Munro's bass playing. Great song.

[@OGBrawlerina]

Loved this album and this song! And the 80s!!!!!!!

[@Vaga365]

Love Urgh!!! I wish there were more than 9,770 viewings...Tell your friends! :)

[@sam3479]

Paul foad is my guitar teacher. A true ledgend!

[@TRAM22]

This from what has to be one of the most under rated bands of all time

[@djkohoficial]

1981, the last great year for post-punk...

[@kiosk7658]

i dont believe it

[@veerchasm1]

I forgot that they were in this movie. So great!

[@ianpeacock386]

Saw them at the Warehouse in Liverpool some time in the early 80s. Quite simply the best gig I've ever been to.

[@albertricks4365]

Good camera work in presenting the band's catchy song. Looks like Andy Partridge from his early days with XTC moving around up there.

[@MartinBlack]

Awesome, saw them a lot back in the 80s, top band.

[@MarkkuKoljonenwTinja]

UP! 😍😎Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku 🌹

[@ianmacnormandy]

Takes you back, saw them so many times, signature band for us!

[@cgothik]

One of the best tunes from Urgh...Thanks for this post!

[@gary_payton]

I'm rediscovering this film in 2021. It's been 3 decades since I last watched it. This is the reason for youtube, not cat videos.

[@vaspers]

I remember when I first heard this band on an Atlanta radio station around 1979 or `980. so great a band!!!!!

[@msr714]

Frickin' brilliant.

[@RS7GHOST]

if you had Paul Foad as a guitar teacher past or present like it

[@Marblewing]

Fantastic! I saw the Au Pairs in London in about 1982. The best gig I ever saw. Great, great live band. I met Paul once through Alex Knight and told him so but i don't know if he believed me. More footage please if anyone's got any!

[@efegonava3929]

I love the energy in this performance.

[@mostroXXI]

A must, a classic... original & different.....

[@haroldrozema5336]

saw them in rotterdam and eindhoven; magnificent!!

[@replicas79]

brilliant!!

[@hissykittie68]

this song kicks ass...it's been at least twenty years since I've heard this!

[@orangehatcontemporary2649]

AU Pairs were fantastic, saw them a lot back in the day. Have a ticket signed by Jane somewhere - also served Paul at Edgbaston DHSS a couple of times in the mid 80's - we had a good chat about bands! :-)

[@tonka316]

he worked at my college teaching guitar hes a right laugh talks about all these people hes met all the time

[@HasanSayyid13]

Same. Just started learning with him and he's great !

[@NewWaver80014]

And let's not forget Jane Munro on bass. She never got quite the recognition Lesley did, in my opinion. This is great!!!

[@SamuelPony]

I'm so glad you put as much as you did into it. Great vibe, and thanks for the great music.

[@Marblewing]

I think it also needs to be said what a great bass player Jane Munro was - such a massive part of the Au Pairs sound, and totally tight always.....

[@mandrian8707]

I saw them in Brixton in 1982. AWSOME !

[@toonmunger]

Good post, one of my fave Au Pairs tunes. Never saw them live but it must have been great. They sound excellent.

[@mekkab]

Nice! Got a Gang of Four vibe to it!

[@emilon07]

Lesley woods from the aupairs is performing solo at rohypnol awarness benefit at the windmill brixton with Tasha Emilon band Angel in doc martens and Rita Lynch on FRIDAY 1st JUNE 2012

[@JimmiJC]

Yeah lol, Paul Foad is my guitar teacher... got him tomorrow. What a ledgend lol

[@LizHenry]

god i love the au pairs. also the rezillos

[@TheBirchwoodVampire]

same i have only been playing for 3 months and he is talking about doing my first grade that is how good a teacher he is

[@ElecTRadicaL420]

brilliant

[@JimmiJC]

Paul Foad, the chap on guitar is one hell of a guitar teacher now. He plays with Andy Hamilton with the bluenotes.

[@zedman1]

Thanks for the upload. Brought back so many good memories that I might jjust have to dig out the tape I made from a Marquee gig 1981? Think I saw them support the B52's a the Palais as well but I may be wrong. Still so very gorgeous....lesleywoodsdotcom

[@borealico]

amazing band! 5 stars!

[@salishseaartsfoundation]

I love this band too.

[@richardxs]

BEST POST-PUNK BAND...FOR SURE!

[@SamuelPony]

You're very welcome. I luckily ran across this movie. Someone was nice enough to digitize it. When you get a website sorted, let me know, as I would love to see it. This was always one of my favorites from Urgh.

[@chupacabra77]

I wish I could see them perform "It's Obvious." Its my favorite.

[@TheArtsBookstoregr]

Very Gooooood!

[@LaudCranium]

i saw them on same bill with girl school in london somewhere. paul was bleeding on his guitar. what a memory.

[@gazfunk]

That bass line.

[@cgothik]

love AU PAIRS!

[@used003]

love this band - wish there were more vids of them

[@baadpuddytat]

fucking brilliant--"playing with a different sex" is one of the great underappreciated albums of the early 80s.

[@bealaran]

I had the LP "Playing with a different sex". I loved it. Thanks!

[@frankblosse119]

The people who do don't know this was a punk rock concert in England one of the biggest ones they ever had in 1980 with Devo and a lot of bands you never even heard of that Kennedy's f****** la Paris just f****** crazy punk rock groups bro and reggae what a concert you had to be there I wasn't there but I seen the whole thing on film and it was amazing I was a punk rocker when I was a kid so I know all about punk rock dressed it and leopard f****** hair everything you name it I was punk but those days are over now

[@MickeyMo1961]

My favourite band from Uni (Leeds)

[@sbor2020]

The younger so called "post post punk" or "new" or "neo" post punk bands, or whatever they're termed, all name-check the great bands from the late 70s/ early 80s, like Gang of Four, Josef K and Fire Engines and even the Raincoats, but there is one AMAZING band that seems forever neglected - The Au Pairs were AMAZING.

[@edkollin]

The Live from Harrah's New York City DVD also has them doing an awesome version of this song from way back when.

[@Syntheatre]

Thank you for putting this here! I unfortunately only managed to lay hands on the Urgh! soundtrack album, and they're never going to air it here... Strange, though, that this is the only Au Pairs song on youtube. I love them.

[@catfira]

The bestt

[@UnderStoryProd]

@suspect485 Urgh! A Music War is a film from the early 80's that has some of the best punk and new wave bands in their prime plus a bunch of flat out bizarre acts that are beyond description. It's a must see movie in my book !

[@CHIRPYCHALLONER]

Hi there.Thanks for question.sorry for delay i was bieng held captive in a cornish fishing village(re.THE WICKER MAN).I am still trying to sort it out so at the moment i can't give you the info.The web address i wanted has already been taken.Will let you know as soon as it gets up and running.cheers Pete Hammond.

[@mascar33]

come again, whewwwwwwwww

[@baadpuddytat]

their best song--"playing with a different sex" is still a great album. wish someone would get the legal crap out of the way and release "urgh!" on cd and dvd.

[@earonfilm]

Yeah. What a great band. And I admire the bands that add their contribution to the music world and then get the fuck out. As much as I love this band I would not want to go to an Au Pairs reunion show. I already had that disappointment with Gang of Four a couple years back.

[@TheBirchwoodVampire]

paul foad = great teacher

[@triciabrown3035]

As I recall Mr. Foad was a member of a punk band, that was called "The most repulsive in Britain." I forget what they were called...

[@SamuelPony]

I know! The one on the cassette I had when I was a kid was introduced with, "This is a song about faking orgasms, it's called 'Come Again'."

Ms Woods is a lawyer these days, and not especially interested in reforming the band. It broke up under somewhat ambiguous financial circumstances.
