--- Reihe bunkerfrequenzen ---


Was sollen wir sagen?! Freudentränen sprudeln, die Hände sind jetzt bereits schweißnass vor Erwartung. Die wirklich legendäre NIHILIST SPASM BAND aus Kanada beehrt den Kulturbunker Mülheim. NSB gelten zurecht als die Erfinder der freien Noisemusik. Seit den Anfängen schuf das Kollektiv Geräusche und Musik mit allen erdenklichen Mitteln: Schlagzeug, Haushaltsgeräte, Betonmischer, Bohrmaschinen, Saxophone, Gitarren und vieles mehr. Aus Jazz wurde Noise aus Noise die Befreiung von allen Konventionen und kommerziellen Zwängen. Der totale Freakout ist garantiert! Die Reihe "bunkerfrequenzen" wird vom Kulturamt der Stadt Köln unterstützt.

THE NIHILIST SPASM BAND, CURRENT PERSONNEL


John B. Boyle was born in London, Ontario and currently lives in Peterborough. Boyle taught elementary school in St. Catharines, Ontario from 1962 til 1968, and has been a full time professional artist ever since. His paintings and painted constructions have been exhibited in major galleries across Canada and around the world, and they can be seen in most large collections across the country, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Confederation Arts Centre. In 1995 his first novel, No Angel Came, was published by Tellem Press. In the NSB he plays electric kazoo with digital delay and ring modulator, thumb piano and percussion. Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader has called him "something of an Ayleresque virtuoso" of the kazoo. In 2001 and 2004 he had solo exhibitions at Fukugan Gallery, Osaka and performed with Jojo Hiroshige, Masahiko Ohno, Aya Ohnishi, and other leading Japanese noise and electronic musicians. He and Art Pratten performed with various artists in Tokyo at Uplink Factory in 2003 in conjunction with the Japanese premierre of the film "What About Me: The Rise of the Nihilist Spasm Band".
John Clement was born in Toronto and currently lives in London, Ontario, where he works as a family physician. For many years he has had a passion for fast and powerful motorcycles and from time to time has been a serious motorcycle racer. In the NSB he plays electric guitars he has built or modified, and percussion.
William A. Exley was born in London, Ontario and lived for many years in Elmira, Ontario, where he was a much loved secondary school English teacher and department head. He has recently retired and moved back to London. Exley is an orator and performer of note in the London area where he is famous for his speeches at the annual picnic of the Nihilist Party of Canada. In the NSB he is the vocalist and also plays theremin and various found instruments, including his wife Norma's cooking pot with marbles, pop cans and tricycle parts. "His voice," says Robin Edgerton in Time Out New York, "has one of the richest timbres ever given to a human being".
Murray Favro was born in Huntsville, Ontario, and now lives in London, Ontario, where he works as one of Canada's leading sculptors. His works have been shown in major galleries across Canada, in the United States, Cuba, and in several countries in Europe, and he was the 1996 winner of the prestigious Gershon Iskowitz prize for outstanding achievement as a visual artist. Exhibitions are in preparation in both France and Spain. Favro has designed and built many guitars which are prized by collectors as both art objects and outstanding musical instruments. In the NSB he concentrates on playing guitar with occasional forrays into percussion. In 1997 he contributed solo guitar material to an Alchemy guitar compilation disc.
Art Pratten was born and continues to reside in London, Ontario. For many years he worked as an artist/designer and in numerous related capacities at the London Free Press. He is now retired. In the NSB he originally played kazoos of his own design and construction, but within a short time began to invent, build and play a succession of beautifully crafted and much prized violin-like instruments played with the bow under the name Pratt-a-various. He has also built and played guitars, a "water pipe" electronic wind instrument of his own invention, and at least one dulcimer-like instrument that is played with mallets.
