NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN! 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, covered his head in surgical bandages and performed an unearthly one-man-show surrounded by half a ton of electronic sound processors and a couple of tape recorders. It’s about artistic integrity, courage and the price-tag that comes with it. Iggy Pop called him “so unusual and brilliant”.
High technology meets the age of horror, surreal and demented… NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN!
