What About Me: The Rise of the Nihilist Spasm
Band
London, Ontario’s Nihilist Spasm Band has been producing its own particular brand of noise since 1966, and its members are the first to express surprise that they are becoming international figures. Zev Asher’s loving documentary portrait of the band captures the defiant wit and the ageless passion of a group of iconoclastic reprobates and the subversive noise-music hey love so much.
