Nirvana
Nirvana was an American rock band formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl,
who joined the band in 1990. Despite releasing only three full-length
studio albums in their seven-year career, Nirvana has come to be
regarded as one of the most influential and important rock bands of the
modern era. Though the band dissolved in 1994 after the death of
frontman Kurt Cobain, their music continues to maintain a popular
following and to inspire and influence modern rock and roll culture.
