After a successful set of shows marking the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain in 2014 Cork Alternative Rockers Paradox and Screenreader are back with a full set of Nirvana classics and more. Nirvana exploded into the mainstream in 1991 after the release of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' from their multi platinum album Nevermind. Ironically Nirvana kicked off their European Tour right here in Cork on August 20th 1991. The gig took place in Sir Henry's, a venue which closed its doors for the final time in 2003, and was headlined by Sonic Youth. Nirvana were virtually unknown at this point but it was only a matter of weeks after this show that the band snowballed after the success of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and became one of the world's biggest bands, almost overnight.\nIt has also recently been revealed that Kurt has direct roots from Cork as Kurt quoted himself ::\n\n"Actually it was Cobain, but the Coburns screwed it up when they came over . They came from Country Cork, which is a really weird coincidence, because when we toured Ireland, we played in Cork and the entire day I walked around in a daze. I'd never felt more spiritual in my life. It was the weirdest feeling and-I have a friend who was with me who could testify to this-I was almost in tears the whole day. Since that tour, which was bout two years ago, I've had some sense that I was from Ireland."\n\nNirvana popularized a subgenre of alternative rock which was labeled Grunge. The band reached a whole new generation and defined a new age in popular music throughout the 90's. Nirvana was considered the flagship band of Generation X, and frontman Cobain found himself reluctantly anointed by the media as the generation's "spokesman.\nAlthough Nirvana's success and Kurt's life was short lived they left behind a legacy of music, 3 full length studio albums, B-sides and much more..\nJoin Cork bands Paradox and Screenreader at Cobblestone Joes in Limerick on Friday April 17th as they remember Nirvana's music and legacy playing some Nirvana classics and many more. Doors 9.00pm. Free Admission.
