By Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna
Few bands have spawned so many myths and legends in such a short time, or so dramatically changed the face of the music industry as Nirvana. Stories of excess and abuse surrounded the band and Kurt Cobain’s tragic suicide seemed to justify the wildest rumors. But what were the events that led to Nirvana’s meteoric rise, extraordinary musical impact, and ultimate self-destruction?
Nirvana: The Day to Day Illustrated Journals is the most complete telling of their story, not only tracking all of the band’s tour dates, recording sessions, and release dates, but looking behind the scenes at after-show parties, the workings of their record label and management team and what life was like in those final months of Cobain’s life. Drawing on extensive research and over 50 interviews, every major incident, good or bad, every false rumor and every true rumor is chronicled in the words of those who were there. Illustrated throughout with stunning black & white and color photography, much of it taken by those close to the band, this book paints a fascinating picture of rock music’s biggest phenomenon of the 1990s.
