This is a true insider's commentary on one of rock's most influential bands, with a Foreword by Benjamin Myers (The Offing, Gallows Pole). Everett True is responsible for bringing Nirvana, Hole, Pavement, Soundgarden and a host of other bands to public attention. He introduced Kurt to Courtney, performed on stage with Nirvana on numerous occasions and famously pushed Kurt onto the stage of the Reading Festival in 1992 in a wheelchair. This is the true story written by the only journalist allowed into the Cobain house immediately after Kurt's death. True reveals the details of what the legendary band was really like, what happened to Cobain in Olympia and Seattle, how Kurt first met Courtney, and gives the lowdown on the scenes, the seminars, the live dates, the friends and the drug dealers surrounding the grunge explosion. Nirvana continues to exert an enormous power on popular music as new generations discover the poignancy in their music.
Everett True is an English music journalist and musician. He became interested in rock music after hearing The Residents, and formed a band with school friends. He has written and recorded as The Legend!
"This is the book anyone touched by Nirvana has been waiting to read" Mojo "A more vivid account from an insider's perspective than anything else yet published about this extraordinary band" Guardian "It was Everett who brought the label men scurrying to Seattle with their cheque books after writing excitedly in Melody Maker about the city's independent rock scene in 1989" Carol Clerk, Uncut
