Nirvana

On June 23, 1989, Nirvana performed at Rhino Records in Los Angeles, a pivotal moment for the band as they were still in the early stages of their career. At this time, their debut album, *Bleach*, had just been released a year earlier, in 1989, which was crucial in setting the tone for the grunge movement that would explode soon after. This live recording features "School," a track from *Bleach* that showcases their raw energy and distinct sound, blending punk and heavy metal influences. Interestingly, despite its lower-profile release, *Bleach* would later gain significant recognition, especially after Nirvana's massive success with *Nevermind*. This performance reflects an era when the band was still cultivating their identity and fanbase, playing intimate venues before they skyrocketed to fame. Each note in this recording captures a vibrant moment in rock history, marking the band's evolution that would soon lead them to stardom.
