Nirvana "Nevermind" 30th Anniversary Tribute

On 24 September 1991, Nirvana released their second studio album, and the first to feature Dave Grohl “Nevermind”, which would go on to rock the world.

Frances Farmers Revenge (featuring members of Stacked Actors & Mashing Potatoes) make their live debut to pay homage to Nirvana with a 30th Anniversary Tribute to their seminal album “Nevermind” at Amplifier Bar in Perth on Saturday 4 September 2021.

Joining in on the celebrations for one of alternative rock’s all-time great albums will be Alice In a Nutshell and INNCNT Criminals performing the best of Alice In Chains and Silverchair.

Nirvana are one of the biggest and most influential bands in music history. Formed in Seattle in 1987, they pretty much single-handedly catapulted alternative music into the mainstream when their second album, Nevermind, took the music industry by surprise and turned popular culture on its head on its release in 1991. Their mix of dirgey, down-tuned rock’n’roll, punk rock spirit and abstract lyrics originally captured the imagination of the increasingly disaffected Generation X youth, but continues to shape and inform rock music today.

Nirvana’s 1991 album Nevermind is a masterpiece that transcended music, becoming a zeitgeist cultural phenomenon, sending shockwaves across the globe in the process. Every aspect of the pioneering record was unprecedented, all the way from the challenging themes that the band tackle on the LP to what might be the most controversial facet of the record; the album sleeve. (Joe Taysom, Far Out Magazine UK)

“It was a record that people could put on and for 45 minutes could… work it out. Whatever they were pissed off about, they could scream along to it; if they were sad, maybe they could be uplifted… it really did strike a chord with people. I don’t know why and I don’t know what that chord was… It’s like sitting on a surfboard and wondering what propels that board. Well, it’s the wave. But what makes the wave? It’s gravity and the Earth’s rotation… But as far as you know, you get on this board and it takes you to the shore.” (Dave Grohl December 1993 issue 262 of Rhythm Magazine)
