What is a second generation nihilist?
Owen Curnoe, Galen Curnoe, Warren Pratten and I have have worked together in music and video for many years and we all have Dads that have all worked together for many years in
THE NIHILIST SPASM BAND
back row - Greg Curnoe, Bill Exley, Murray Favro John Boyle
front row - John Clement, Art Pratten, Hugh McIntyre
Since 1965 there have been 50 annual NIHILIST PICNICS.
Growing up the offspring of THE NIHILIST SPASM BAND we would play and compete together in competitions such as the tug of nor. As we have grown older some of us are friends and some of us have worked together artistically.
Second generation nihilists have all grown up listening to our Dads make very loud music. It’s familiar and normal.
