From the USA, the number 1 Nirvana Tribute
+ support from Pet Ghosts
Drummer Steve Kilroy, a Boston native, met bassist/studio engineer Dave Eve in London while recording an album with 'Gods Little Joke' for Revolver Records UK. After the release of the record, ('A Moment of Clarity') Dave toured the States and the UK with the band. While on tour, they opened for 'Australian Nirvana' and shortly after that, Steve received a call from the singer and started touring with the group. Shortly after that, Dave jumped in. Both had been a part of 'Australian Nirvana' for the better part of the last 5 years, touring more than 7 European countries constantly before setting out on their own to find a new singer. This was a tough decision though as the success of 'Australian Nirvana' was substantial and they both knew that building on that success would require finding the ultimate Kurt, so to speak. Especially because at the groups inception, 'Kerrang' interviewed 'Chris Watts' and he 'reckons it was even better than Nirvana live'. That being the case, we knew we needed the best the world had to offer, and our patience paid off. ' It took nearly two years to find Nervana's new front-man 'Jonny O'Connor' in countless youtube searches, wading through the seemingly endless sea of disappointing Kurt wannabees. Some had the look but sounded nothing like Kurt and vice-verse. We also knew the guy would have to be young. Nirvana is about youth and angst and we wanted to give the fans what they really want to see and hear when they come to see a Nirvana tribute.
