Nash The Slash, born Jeff Plewman on March 26, 1948, was a unique musician and artist who blended sound and vision for over thirty years. He first gained recognition with his live music presentations to silent films, notably performing to the surreal film "Un Chien Andalou" at the Roxy Theatre in Toronto. The name Nash The Slash originates from a character in Laurel and Hardy's 1927 film 'Do Detectives Think?'. He became well-known in the music scene through his work with a pop electronic group, co-writing hit songs like "Phasors on Stun" and "Just Like You." His contributions earned him a U-KNOW (later CASBY) award for best instrumental artist and a JUNO nomination for best new male vocalist. Nash gained international prominence by touring with artists such as Gary Numan and Iggy Pop, and he opened for The Who at C.N.E. Stadium in Toronto to an audience of 70,000, as well as for The Tubes at a sold-out Maple Leaf Gardens. He started his own independent label and was the first Canadian to use a drum machine on record, challenging the regulations of the Toronto Musician Association at the time. Throughout his career, Nash released numerous solo albums, with "Children of the Night" (1980) being one of his most recognized, featuring the hit single "Dead Man's Curve." Other notable works include "Decomposing," which was the first
