Steve Hughes

Filmed at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Steve Hughes delivers a 1 and a half hour set of hard-edged comedy and truth-bombs to the Freedom Summits crowd. If you like your stand-up with a dose of heavy-hitting social commentary and delivered by a heavy metal dude, then this one's for you. Recently back in Australia after living in the UK, where he's tearing up stages and TV shows with his fearless, politically incorrect sets, Steve will bring his no holds bar style of comedy for a change of pace and energy to the Freedom Summits.

Since the late 1970's a thriving underground scene of extreme music has continued to evolve in Australia.

More than just the music, we meet the characters that make metal in Australia what it is today. From promoters, radio hosts and magazine editors, to band members and extreme fans, Metal Down Under introduces you to a world you either didn't want to know existed, or have been a part of all your life. Featuring over 40 exclusive interviews as well as rare archive footage and photographs from Metal for the Brain, Metal for Melbourne, The Big Day Out, SBS, music videos, live concerts and much more.
