About the Nihilist Spasm Band
This is the short story:
The NSB was formed in 1965 by a group of people who enjoyed music and wanted to play in a band. There was no desire to learn to play traditional instruments so kazoos were bought and assorted noise makers modified or built from scratch. The band started playing regularly every Monday night in 1966 and has just carried on .The personal has stayed the same. John Boyle (artist) kazoo and drums, John Clement (MD) guitar and drums, Bill Exley (geezer/latinist) vocals, Murray Favro (artist) guitar, and Art Pratten (pensioner/gentleman of leisure) Pratt-a-various and Waterpipe and Aya Ohnishi (permanent guest artist) kazoo and drums.
Greg Curnoe (artist) kazoo and drums (deceased), Hugh McIntyre (curmudgeon/polymath) bass (deceased) and Archie Leitch (permanently retired) play less often.
The band currently plays most every Monday night at Forest City Gallery in London Ontario Canada. The atmosphere is informal. We play for our own enjoyment but an audience is welcome.

Dance Moves of the Near Future
By NAC Member Tim Conley
Book Launch – Friday 19 June 7PM at NAC
Emily Schultz calls Tim Conley’s new short story collection, Dance Moves of the Near Future, “strange and wonderful,” and places Conley’s prose “someplace between Bender and Barthelme … exhibiting humour, imagination, and total command.” We couldn’t agree more, and might add Kafka and George Saunders to the list — these are fable-like, often darkly hilarious stories that work in the sweet spot between carefully observed realism and absurd satire.
Join host Adam Seelig to celebrate the launch of Dance Moves of the Near Future with readings by Tim Conley and Louis Cabri (Posh Lust, 2014). There will be free food, plenty of books and booze for sale, and good times all around.
