Why Iggy Pop commemorated Canadian electronic music pioneer Nash the Slash in a song

from Q with Tom Power

Canadian electronic music pioneer Nash the Slash toured with the likes of Iggy Pop and Gary Numan. But he didn’t make the same splash at home. Nash the Slash was the stage name of Toronto musician Jeff Plewman, who quietly died in 2014. But his artistry is coming back into the light with a new documentary, Nash the Slash Rises Again! The doc’s director Tim Kowalski joins Garvia Bailey in the Q studio to talk about how Nash the Slash broke out of Toronto’s alternative scene in the ’70s to tour internationally, open for The Police and other big acts.
