Nuclear Waste

Herbs , Music Video – 1985

Add to watch list

Herbs released this ‘no nukes’ single the same year Prime Minister David Lange smelt uranium while debating nuclear weapons at the Oxford Union. The video mixes on-the-beach Pasifika dancing with shots of the band performing at Western Springs, and protests against US nuclear warships and submarines visiting Kiwi waters. DIY visual effects show the band looming over Mt Eden Prison, with nuclear explosions punctuating the laid-back reggae beat. The music video was directed by Geoff Murphy (Goodbye Pork Pie) and Merata Mita (Patu!), and was partly shot in their Auckland garage.
