Entertain Us : The rise of Nirvana EPUB

Nirvana are one of the most influential bands in rock history, and even now, nearly 20 years after Kurt Cobains death, the reverence in which they are held is undiminished.

Books have been written about Nirvana before, but they tend to concentrate on the bands superstar period and Kurt Cobains demise, while skating over the early years. In Entertain Us, Gillian Gaar redresses the balance by examining in forensic detail the bands rise to fame, and their first album, Bleach.

Seattle native Gaar was one of the first journalists to write about Nirvana, and she covered the bands career closely, offering her a unique perspective to write this book. Drawing on extensive interviews with the key characters in the storyincluding bassist Krist Novoselic, drummer Chad Channing, and producers Jack Endino and Butch Vigthe book charts the bands formation and early years as well as their role at the center of the grunge gold rush.

By critiquing every song the band recorded in this period, tracing influences and unpicking complex relationships between band members, associates, and record labels, Gaar gets to the heart of a compelling story.
