What fans are saying

The only thing I would change is the level of music over the lead singers voice. He has a great voice and a lot of the songs drowned out his voice. Other than that I wish they would have played longer. Only an hour of Nirvana. Would have loved if they played until midnight. Had a great time.

Smells Like Nirvana Biography

Celebrate the legendary sounds of Nirvana & Kurt Cobain with Chicago's grungiest tribute to Nirvana "Smells Like Nirvana" as they perform songs from Nevermind, In Utero, Bleach, and more (b sides/rare songs).

Make a song request at smellslikenirvanatribute.com

Smells Like Nirvana is composed of seasoned pros and die-hard-fans of Nirvana fronted by Paul Wandtke (ex Trivium, Dead Original), drummer Benny “Boomba” Piazza and Mike Petrasek (Bedlem).

Their live tribute to Nirvana is a haunting episode of grunge filled angst playing songs from Nirvana's albums Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero and MTV Unplugged as well as rare b-sides and more; played without click tracks or backing tracks, a trait that is rare in today’s contemporary musical landscape, a trait and philosophy that Nirvana lived by.

"The first demo I ever owned was of Nirvana! Nirvana is the reason I got into music. I’ll never forget the songs Smells Like Teen Spirit and Even in His Youth, they changed my life forever. ~paul wandtke
