Excellent show! They covered Nirvana perfectly and Paul captured Kurt's entire essence beautifully. I was transported back to the early 90s and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Dead Original original songs were great! I went online after the show to purchase a t-shirt and their album.
If you have a chance to see these guys do it!! They do not disapoint!

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
