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.
