They were performing at Orchard Road, Singapore. But, there was no Krist Novo or Dave Grohl, and certainly no Kurt Cobain! I could not believe what I was hearing. Nirvana, live in Singapore. It was a local band busking for the Singapore Children Cancer Foundation. They were very good.
Their repertoire consisted of their original compositions and songs by Nirvana. The lead vocalist and gutarist sounded alot like Cobain, with his strong husky voice. From far, you would probably had thought that someone was playing Nirvana cd really loud. They played songs from Bleach, In Utero and Nevermind. A free Nirvana gig, on the streets of Singapore. How cool is that?
Unfortunately, I think the Nirvana is lost in the current generation, as few stopped by to listen and the audience were mostly subdued.
Balik kampong lah Superband, Singapore's true super bands are out there on the streets, and for a good cause. =p
