Live solo concerts in clubs in Southern Ontario.
New material is well received. The CD
Blind Windows is
finally released. Blind
Windows is a collection of all instrumental music textured with early
analog synths and Nash's distinctive electric mandolin and violin riffs. The
CD was distributed throughout the world and reached #3 on the Canadian Indie
Charts.
Nash is at a crossroads. Does he play rock clubs, and try to compete with
the latest haircut of the day, or does he emphasize his artistic, more
esoteric side?
At Stratengers, anything is possible, so the Lounge Lizard Nash was
born.
More lizard than lounge. Playing mainly instrumental music at a quieter
volume, the music is hardly mellow, combining the yin and yang of a Buddhist
serial killer. The newest evolution is that of video. Big screen and totally
wake. Gone are the days of rock and roll lighting. Now you can experience
the Nash Video Extravaganza. The visual world according to Nash.

| 1998 | |
Nash decides to emphasize the artistic side of his vast visual and musical
repertoire. Nash The Lounge Lizard makes his debut at Stratengers on Fri. and
Sat. Jan 30 and 31. Due to it's electronic nature, the music's volume is
totally controlled, so even Thrash can sound pleasant to the ear. The three
sets are a combination of two sets of Instrumental Zen Music and one set of
Nash Thrash. Blind
Windows becomes a major part of the live presentation. Much of the
material is demonstrated in the sound and painting presentation of
Bombardiers. With a variety of new material, Nash takes
on all challenges.
