I kept thinking the members of NSB were these obnoxious experimental KIDS...now they REALLY rule!!!!!!!!

[bioglitch]

They're actually from Elmira Ontario, a small town outside of Waterloo. Bill Exley was my English teacher.

[MarkFavro]

@bioglitch They are all from London Ontario. Bill Exley lived in Elmira for a time. He is now back in London Ontario.

Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[miraoister]

i'm a nihilist, but can you say "fu*k" on youtube? maybe your account will be closed by the powers of youtube?

[katselijahenkilo]

No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of.

[WHYNOTTTTTTyeah]

NOT AN ETHOS?!?!? Have you been awake for any part of the past 100 years?

[thirdshift47]

Never realized that they made/prepared all of their instruments.Just how many noise,noise rock,power electronics,industrial and free improv groups are indepted to these gentlemen?

[nojrevned]

when i was in college we had a band with a similar orientation. we were called "the Chairs". we used conventional instruments, but played complete free form noise. And like theses guys here, we had a lot of fun. I've seen the nihilst spasm band's first album in a collector's 'zine going for $900.00. Right on!

[vestalunch]

what the hell was that

i'm not saying that it's bad or anything but somebody please tell me what the hell is going on.

I don't understand japenese culture. Please help

[Jimbobbil]

The Nihilist Spasm Band are a Canadian "noise" band who've been around since 1966/67 or so, have released a few records and are stil active today. They've influenced a whole movement of Japanese "noise musicians" and are apparently a huge underground phenomenon there. It looks like they somehow got onto the show "Sekai no Ongaku" during a tour.

[Jimbobbil]

Afterwards they demonstrate the band's homemade instruments.

[mansony]

nihlizm is not about japon culture

[Maebashi]

Honto ni saiko desuyone!!!!!
