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.
