Krist Novoselic : Cobain Convincing Novoselic to form a band with him, and Down The Invitation !!

Описание: Former Nirvana bassist Chris Novoselic is one of rock's most politically minded musicians. Born Krist Anthony Novoselic on May 16, 1965 in Los Angeles to Croatian immigrants, Novoselic and his family remained in California until 1979, when they moved to the tiny logging town of Aberdeen washington. Novoselic had changed the spelling of his first name to Chris, although he would go back and forth between the spellings throughout the years. Feeling self conscious and like an outsider among his new schoolmates, Novoselic discovered such classic rockers as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Black Sabbath, as well as such new wave bands as Devo. But it wasn't until a yearlong trip to his parent's native country of Croatia in 1980 that he discovered punk rock, When he reluctantly returned to the US a year later, Novoselic saved up enough money to buy a guitar, and learned by playing along to blues records. Novoselic's younger brother Robert, brought home a new friend one day Kurt Cobain, who was impressed with the fact that Novoselic was a punk fan. The two had several mutual friends including the members of a burgeoning local band named the Melvins, and began hanging out shortly thereafter. During his senior year of high school, Novoselic had surgery done on his jaw, fixing his underbite. Cobain tried convincing Novoselic to form a band with him, and after turning down the invitation numerous times, he finally agreed. The duo went through a series of names until settling on Nirvana. The new group specialized in stripped down punk rock, and was a complete reaction against all the horrible glam metal that had been glutting the charts and the airwaves for years, taking a pro feminist stance amidst the overabundance of testosterone heavy macho rock. Their debut release for Sub Pop in 1989's Bleach, established an underground following with the college rock crowd, and shortly after the release of 1991's Nevermind, the trio's popularity exploded as they spearheaded the whole Seattle movement. But after only two more releases, Nirvana would abruptly come to an end with Cobain's tragic suicide in April of 1994.
