Robert told Cobain that it was his older brother, who listened to punk rock. Cobain eventually befriended the elder Novoselic, as the pair ended up sharing similar musical tastes, including a fondness for local band Melvins. The two had several mutual friends and began hanging out shortly thereafter. At one point, Cobain gave Novoselic a demo tape of his former band Fecal Matter , and asked him to form a band together.
After several months, Novoselic finally listened to the tape, liked it, and agreed to start a band with Cobain. Cobain and Novoselic's first band lasted barely a few weeks before it disbanded, leaving the pair to move on. Inspired, Cobain and Novoselic started a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band, in which Cobain played drums and Novoselic sang and played guitar.
That band was short-lived as well. Some months later, Cobain and Novoselic met drummer Aaron Burckhard. While the new band never used the name, it was the first incarnation of Nirvana. The trio recorded their debut album Bleach , released in Channing left the band in and was briefly replaced by Crover and Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters.
Later in , Melvins' singer-guitarist Buzz Osborne encouraged Novoselic and Cobain to check out a punk band called Scream. The pair were impressed by their drummer, Dave Grohl. A few weeks later, Scream disbanded, and Grohl placed a call to Osborne for advice. Grohl passed the audition and joined Nirvana. A few months later, in the spring of , the band recorded their major label debut, Nevermind , which launched the band as a worldwide phenomenon with their hit single " Smells Like Teen Spirit ".
Nirvana ended abruptly in April following Cobain's death. For most of the rest of that year, Novoselic retreated from the spotlight. Of course the Grange Party does not actually exist, with Novoselic aiming to protest against what he sees as a political loop hole.
Of course there is no such thing as a Grange Party. The way I is implemented is confusing voters. The election is due to take place later this year.

I played just rock bass, without any kind of funk in it. Asked how Novoselic got into bass in the first place, he embarks on a nostalgic train of thought which will leave students of alternative music speechless.
We were playing in a trio so I had a lot of latitude, but I tried to keep it nailed down: I let the drummer and the guitar player go off while I kept it tethered to the ground. He was kind enough to let me borrow it, and then we found this drummer Aaron Burckhard, and we were among a group of youngsters who would hang out with the Melvins drummer Dale Crover.
They were very disciplined and would play every day for hours. We were working and I bought a bass amp, so I had my own setup, and I just fell into this Ibanez.
Did Novoselic ever throw in a few complex fills to push the songs along? A lot of it was just scales, though. It depended on what was going on in the band. We would have these rehearsals and just make up songs. The songs that were after Nevermind and before In Utero… we would pull those songs out so fast, and Kurt would make up a vocal, and so many of those things were lost.
We were just making stuff up because we really liked playing together. Never mind the legal details that few understand — Trump said he would stop the violence and this speaks to many. While it appears Novoselic set his Facebook profile to private, where the message was originally posted, screengrabs have been circulating on Twitter. There is a lot of work to do.
Nirvana became an international sensation at the head of the grunge scene in the early s but split following the suicide of frontman Kurt Cobain in
