I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times
of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played
and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip
didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived
it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that
played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known
alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead
Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of
smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers
will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever
before, including Nirvana’s consideration of nearly a dozen
previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before
settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana’s famously
disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard
sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who
hosted the first ever Nirvana gig’s recollections of jamming
with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the
days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged
superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain’s
tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from
the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to
observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one
has ever seen them before.
