Members Of Nirvana
Kurt Cobain and Krist (then Chris) Novoselic met in 1985 and formed Fecal
Matter, whom may have some demo tapes floating around. After their first
drummer left (Aaron Burkhart), two unknown drummers and temporary Dale
Crover of the Melvins took the spot for a couple months before Chad
Channing took the drums. They hired guitarist Jason Everman to do live
work (although he is listed on the Bleach
credits, he had no contribution
in making the record), but he soon left to join Soundgarden. Soon Chad
Channing left, leaving the drummer spot open to temporaries Dan Peters of
Mudhoney and Dale Crover. They soon hired Dave Grohl of the Scream, and
switched labels from Sub Pop to DGC (Geffen).
There have been 2 other bands called Nirvana, one was a group from the early
sixties who had one minor hit, and the other is a Christian band from the early
80's who tried to sue them.
