Smells Like Nirvana is based out of Chicago and is composed of seasoned pros and die- hardfans of Nirvana fronted by Paul Wandtke (ex Trivium, Dead Original), drummer Ty Del Rose (12 stones, Smile Empty Soul) and bassist 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.
