Nirvana Latest News

Death Cab for Cutie continued their ascension into the post-mainstream by opening for the ultimate band of all–the Seattle Mariners, a major league baseball team from the Seattle Area. This seems like it is just the next step in their ascension towards playing the Super Bowl with Vampire Weekend in 2k14 (after the Kings of Leon in 2k13). Do u know if Cool Dads are into baseball? Feel...
My Old Kentucky Blog had the opportunity to get a few minutes on the phone with Charles Cave, bassist of the hot London band White Lies. We learned right away that this band is busy. So busy, in fact, that on the day we talked to Cave, the members of White Lies were fielding questions from the press all the way up until the last moments before the band hit the stage. The trio’s debut...
How much would you pay for a seriously damaged guitar? A 100,000 dollars …. A smashed guitar that belonged to the late Kurt Cobain has sold for $100,000.

Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe...

Nirvana MP3s

Diminished Pitch Raindeer’s self-titled, debut EP could well be the best pop record of the year, and it’s made by a little known band based in Baltimore, USA.  Their synth explosions hit all the right notes and their drugged out guitar lines bubble just below the surface waiting to be transported to a world of weed-loving geeks and daisy hugging cyborgs. MGMT’s pop...
By my count, San Francisco slow-punk titans Flipper have reformed twice, once in 1993 at the behest of uber-fan Rick Rubin and again in 2005 to support the dying CBGB. Unlike CBs, the new Flipper flourished, and the quartet–joined in 2006 by Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic–just released a new studio album, Love, along with an accompanying live disc, Fight. Both are available...

 Radio Over Moscow- Battletech 7/10 This album doesn’t sound like any of the bands mentioned in the press release, well Gary Numan perhaps but definitely not Nirvana, The Beatles, Primal Scream or The Smashing Pumpkins.  Radio Over Moscow is the solo assignment of Aucklander Dan Satherley (KittyHawk, Vetox, Luna Spark) and Battletech is his first solo release. Bringing...
