Synopsis
They've played together for the last 35 years and are London, Ontario's biggest claim to artistic fame since Guy Lombardo. By day the band members, now in their sixties, work as teachers, artists, and in medicine - some are now retired. But almost every Monday night, the Nihilist Spasm Band, an international phenomenon after successful tours in Japan and the United States, make "noise," a brand of music freely improvised using homemade instruments not tuned to any scale.
