Biography

Nirvana is an American band formed by Curt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in 1987, in Aberdeen, a small town in Washington. They recorded the debut album, Bleach, for as little as 606.17 USD and released it in spring 1989. Thanks to multiple concerts and promotion via college radio, Nirvana interested big recording companies. Many labels fought each other for the chance to sign a contract with the talented young musicians making an original sort of music. The victory belonged to DGC company. Dave Grohl, the drummer, was the last member to join the band and complete the lineup. In September 1991, after the European tour with Sonic Youth, Nirvana released their best album, Nevermind, one of the most outstanding pieces in the history of rock-music. Neither the label nor the musicians themselves expected this record to gain such stunning success.
