... in your hands. I’ve had records my whole life, and now here was one that I was on! From his DaleCrover interview : KN Nirvana came out of a punk sensibility, and you were playing with the Melvins. DC Thanks to you. KN Oh, yes. Here’s my story. Mike Dillard had quit the Melvins. Buzz [Osborne] asked me if I knew any drummers. I took him to meet Aaron—this was before...
With new releases from Nirvana coming out this week, the only living member who participated both in Bleach and Live and Reading has been doing some interviews but as both interviewer and subject. In Seattle Weekly, bassist Krist Novoselic spoke to DaleCrover of Melvins who recorded the first demos for Bleach before Chad Channing recorded the drum tracks which finally appeared on the...
Novoselic When did you first become aware of this band, whatever we were called at the time? Crover You guys were playing for a while before I played. KN Yeah, we were playing with Aaron Burkhard. We played with Aaron at the Community...

Simply saying the names Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Al Cisneros (Om, Sleep), Wino (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Hidden Hand), and DaleCrover (Melvins) out loud adds inches to your beard.
