Chicago-based Nirvana tribute Smells Like Nirvana returns with their Make Canada Grunge Again Tour featuring guests Dead Original•
Come celebrate the legendary sounds of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain with national tribute act Smells Like Nirvana as they perform songs from Nevermind, In Utero, Bleach, and more (b-sides/rare songs). Smells Like Nirvana is composed of seasoned pros and die-hard-fans of Nirvana fronted by Paul Wandtke (ex Trivium, Dead Original), with drummer Joe Babiak (ex touring w/Michael Angelo Batio, Altitudes & Attitude, Cage 9) and bassist Michael Petrasek (Bedlem). Their live tribute to Nirvana is a haunting episode of grunge filled angst playing songs from Nirvana’s albums Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero and MTV Unplugged as well as rare b-sides and more; played without click tracks or backing tracks, a trait that is rare in today’s contemporary musical landscape, a trait and philosophy that Nirvana lived by.
•
Dead Original is the Chicago-based trio started by singer/songwriter Paul Wandtke (ex-Trivium, Rock of Ages), with drummer Benny “Boomba” Piazza and Mike Petrasek on bass (Bedlem). Dead Original is a straight-ahead less-is-more rock project/band that's a blend of powerful grooves, grungey vibes, simple riffs and melodic hooks with lyrics for brooding souls.
