Description

Hardcover, 207 pages, First Edition, 2013. This photo journal and grunge rock micro-history offers a unique inside look at a pivotal eight-day period in Nirvana's touring life. In the final days of 1989, the band's fortunes were on the line as they navigated a grueling European tour and a crucial showcase in London. The result is a powerful and revealing story of the band's breakthrough, as captured through the lens of photography. On November 27, 1989, Nirvana took to the stage at the Astoria Theatre, delivering a heart-pounding performance that would change the course of their career. The London music press was won over, proclaiming the band "Sub Pop's answer to the Beatles." This book tells the story of that breakthrough, and the events that led up to it.
