Film : Nash the Slash Rises again

Hot Docs Cinema, Saturday, May 9 at 04:00 PM EDT

Nash the Slash Rises Again! uncovers the origin story of the sinister, masked 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, Nash fused prog rock, punk, classic rock, and psychedelia with techno and industrial - long before those genres even had names. The new film unwinds the bandages of a ground-breaking, mad musical scientist whose career decomposed before the world caught up.

Tickets: $15
Members: $10, $8, Free

NASH THE SLASH
Children Of The Night
1981 Canada pressing

An absolute icon and hero of the great white north, and an inspiration and legend to many Canadians.

Nash The Slash was a complete original, and made KILLER music.

A former member of the band FM, Nash famously allowed ZERO guitars on his solo albums (it says it right on the album jacket), and he once turned down Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour when he offered his services to play a solo on one of his records.

This motherfucker played with Gary Numan, Iggy Pop… all while looking like The Invisible Man wielding a violin.

A mixture of originals and oddly approached covers (Jan + Dean, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple), Children of The Night is wildly unique on all fronts.
