While trawling through some early camera tapes for Doug Aubrey's
Victim of Geography, we came across some archive of Sarajevo's
answer to the Sex Pistols, Sikter playing
live in Mostar in the summer of 1996. So the legend goes
the gig was cut short by Croatian forces on the opposite side
of the bridge, who threatened to launch a mortar barrage if
the band completed their set. See what you make of these shell
shocked rockers yourself by clicking here.
