I shared a lot of rooms with [Nirvana drummer] Chad Channing, laughing all night about the stupidest stuff we could think of. And I’ll tell you one thing: Me and Chad came up with this story about selling kids for food. We were joking about it: ‘We came up with this really funny story last night, and it was about selling kids for food!’ And it’s probably because of us that line ended up in a Nirvana song.
ex-TAD drummer Steve Wiederhold recalls the 1989 Nirvana/TAD European tour, from Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge
Everybody Loves Our Town featured in the new issue of The Fader (plus: the story behind that super-rare Nirvana photo)
The August/September issue of The Fader, on newsstands now, has a three-page piece on Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge. Pick it up today!Some background on the super-rare photo of Nirvana above: It was taken by Alice Wheeler on Feb. 25, 1989 as part of a Belltown, Seattle, shoot for the Bleach album cover (Sub Pop ultimately used a live shot by Kurt Cobain’s then-girlfriend Tracy Marander). The image went undeveloped for 20 years, until Alice discovered it on an unlabeled partial roll of film at the bottom of a storage box.The Nirvana pic is one of many previously-unpublished grunge-era photos featured in Everybody Loves Our Town (out September 6 in the U.S. and September 8 in the U.K). See some more images on Facebook; and while you’re at it, please make sure to “like” the page.
