Who Was Nash the Slash? For the uninitiated, Nash the Slash was a masked, violin-playing multi-instrumentalist who defied easy categorization. Taking his name from a character in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy film, he fused prog rock, punk, and psychedelia with techno and industrial sounds long before those genres were mainstream. He was a true musical pioneer, and this film finally gives him the spotlight he deserves.
