Kurt Cobain Demos To Be Released

Thirty years ago, DGC Records released the thunderous counter-argument to the acoustic finality of MTV Unplugged. Nirvana’s From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah hit shelves on October 1, 1996, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 and topping charts in Australia. Yet the visceral live compilation, designed to remind the world of the Seattle trio's abrasive punk roots, was born from an aborted project that bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl were initially too devastated to finish.

Shonen Knife's Naoko Yamano recalls the band's 1991 tour with Nirvana, teaching Kurt Cobain the guitar chords to "Twist Barbie" and the lasting connection between the Japanese punk trio and the Seattle band.

David Gilmour's legendary Black Strat has reclaimed the title of the most expensive guitar ever sold, fetching an extraordinary $14.55 million at a Christie's auction in New York from the late Jim Irsay collection.

Frances Bean Cobain has announced the arrival of a son with husband Riley Hawk.
