Nevermind: A Tribute To Nirvana

Nirvana was a great band. That is hard to argue. However, after the as sadly as famous death of Kurt Cobain -he commmitted suicide in 1994- all the Nirvana fans were like orphans... Musically speaking, of course. But that was not the end of Nirvana.

A lot of young fans who were good at playing music created some tribute bands, some of them very famous. We can find Nearvana, a word-joke band from Los Angeles, California, or Nevermind, from Chicago, both in the United States. They basically perform Nirvana songs live in concerts and pubs, although they don't release any original disc. They are completely devoted to their rock idols.

The tribute band I'm going to talk about is Nearvana. To compare both the original band and the tribute band, you have two videos of the bands:





As you can see, the clothing style and appearance of both bands is so similar, and the music imitation done by the tribute band is nearly perfect. Their nationality is also from the U.S. (although the original band was born in Seattle, and the tribute band is from Los Angeles).

We can find some curiosities as the fact that the singer isn't left-handed (as Kurt Cobain used to be) but right-handed. And because of that, his guitar can't be exactly as Kurt's... But it really doesn't matter for most people who hear them, doesn't it?

May the grunge never die!

Good and lively writing style. I've enjoyed your article and the videos but it's a bit short. I missed some other information like band members, instruments,etc.
