And you thought you were normal.

Nash the Slash Rises Again! Is a new film that uncovers the sinister Canadian electronic music innovator who took his name from the killer butler in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film. A classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist who burst onto Toronto's 1970s Queen West scene, he created music that was an unlikely combination of prog-rock, punk-rock, classic-rock, psychedelic with techno and industrial before they had names. 

The end result is an unearthly life drenched in film history enveloped in a wall of sound that would do Phil Spector justice, a career embodied in artistic integrity, courage and the price-tag that comes with it. Nash The Slash made sounds like nobody else. Iggy Pop called him “so unusual and brilliant”. He was precise and dark, some called him medieval. Lester Bangs of Rolling Stone wrote….“Nash the Slash is the kind of opening act that makes the headliner work that much harder.” 

FEATURING: IGGY POP, GARY NUMAN, GARY TOPP, VALERIE BUHAGIAR and DON MCKELLAR
