Video Captures Early Nirvana Rehearsal From 1988


It’s a rare thing to catch a band before they were famous – especially when the band is Nirvana and they’re still at the ‘playing at their parents’ house’ phase of their career.

A two-part video floating around YouTube shows a very young Nirvana rehearsing above a hair salon owned by bassist Krist Novoselic’s mom.

The footage was filmed by Novoselic’s younger brother Robert, and features original drummer Chad Channing, not Dave Grohl.

They play a few tunes that show up on the band’s debut album Bleach, as well as a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”.
