Nirvana

In December 1988, when Nirvana performed at the Eagles Hall in Hoquiam, WA, they had just released their debut album, *Bleach*, in June of that year. This album, packed with raw energy and grunge's gritty sound, established Nirvana as a band to watch, yet they were still forging their identity in the vibrant music scene of the Pacific Northwest. Interestingly, during that particular gig, bassist Krist Novoselic famously played in just his underwear—a detail that highlights the band's offbeat charm and laid-back approach. The setlist for the night included early gems like “School” and “Floyd the Barber” which capture that youthful angst Nirvana was becoming known for. It was a time of exciting artistic exploration; though they hadn’t yet reached the meteoric fame that would come with *Nevermind*, you could feel the sparks of innovation and potential in every power chord they struck.
