As is the case with rock stars who die young, Kurt Cobain has served as a muse for other musicians and artists. The Seattle Art Museum has a special exhibit called "Kurt". And an exhibition about Nirvana is set to open in Seattle. It's called Nirvana: Taking Punk To The Masses and will be housed at the Experience Music project from April 16, 2011 until April 22, 2013. Don't miss it for you lovers of the grunge scene that was born in Seattle with Cobain and his band!
The collection will feature a number of rare artefacts, including one of Kurt Cobain's never-before-exhibited paintings from high school, handwritten lyrics of the songs "Spank Thru" and "Floyd The Barber", plus pieces of the first guitar the frontman ever destroyed onstage.
Nirvana's origins are rooted in the Melvins' entourage: Kurt Cobain (vocals and guitar, Osborne's school-mate), and Chris Novoselic (bass), two Aberdeen fans of the Masters of Doom, adopted the punk mystique and started playing in private. A few months later, Cobain wrote a bunch of songs with Croven. As for Novoselic, he let them talk him into forming a professional group, Nirvana, with Chad Charming on drums.
The band performed its first live shows playing with instruments borrowed from the Melvins. Seattle became a gold mine with Nirvana!
