A photo journal and a grunge rock microhistory--an inside look into a crucial eight-day period in the overseas touring lives of Nirvana and two other Seattle bands, as seen through the eyes of Bruce Pavitt, co-founder of Sub Pop Records, the Seattle indie label behind all three bands. Thes dramatic eight days in November and December 1989 were a turning point for Nirvana, then a young band from rural Washington state. In this brief period, the band went from almost breaking up in Rome to the biggest and most important show of their young career. In London, LameFest UK featured Nirvana, Tad and headliners Mudhoney. Although Nirvana opened the show, their heart-pounding performance won over the crowd as well as the powerful British press, who went on to proclaim that Nirvana was, "Sub Pop's answer to The Beatles." It was then that the world's attention began to focus on the band that would become the biggest rock act of their generation.--From publisher description |
