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.
