Aya Ohnishi (a Japanese fan who organized NSB tours of Japan) joined the band on drums starting in 1999.
The Nihilist Spasm Band was formed in 1965, bringing together a group of individuals who frequented Greg Curnoe's art studio on King Street in London.
The band secured a Monday night residency at the York Hotel, performing as a noise experiment in exchange for free drinks.
That residency eventually moved to another bar (Victoria Tavern) and later, the band was given a permanent space at the Forest City Gallery (opened in 1973).
[6] The Nihilist Spasm Band has performed in France on several occasions, in addition to shows in England, Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic and two different tours of Japan (1996 and 2016).
It marked the occasion with a series of live appearances with American jazz musician Joe McPhee in London, Guelph and Toronto.
Drawing from the inspiration of finding a copy of the Nihilist Spasm Band's first L.P. No Canada in the pile of 1970's ephemera in his family's basement; the documentary explores the legacy of the NSB as Canadian noise music pioneers.
