Biography of Nirvana
While it seemed an incredible stroke of good luck that this Washington trio became the first underground grunge band to break through the underground to mainstream acceptance, the self-inflicted, gun-blasted brain of Kurt Cobain less than three years after their initial success, suggests that even if you get what you want, you might find out it's more than you need.
Forming in Aberdeen, Wash., in the mid-'80s with Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, Nirvana played slightly above average riff-rock that bonded a select group of misfits in the great Northwest. By the time of their first album, Bleach, Cobain sounded torn between the angry teenage angst of his upbringing and the pretty pop melodies of his even earlier childhood of listening to the Beatles. Their timing was impeccable. Picking up drummer Dave Grohl from Washington D.C.'s Scream, the band went in the studio with producer Butch Vig to record Nevermind. Vig disciplined the band and gave them what became the industry standard for alternative releases. After the meteoric success of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," the album's first single, Cobain began having second thoughts about pop stardom. He had grown up in a world of Sonic Youth and the Melvins, bands that accrued respect, not massive royalty statements. He rejected the adulation as the album's four videos received endless rotation on MTV.
In Utero came as expected. A rougher production, courtesy of Chicago knob-twiddler Steve Albini, the album's singles were remixed by Scott Litt to slightly prettify what was essentially a basement production. The album's pledge to punk ethos gained the band considerable credibility even as it hurt the songs. Cobain grew frustrated with his role and alluded to an undissolvable case of writer's block. They taped an episode of MTV's MTV Unplugged In New York, which, though unspectacular, has in light of Cobain's suicide become a much heralded acoustic performance.
