NIRVANA: LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!! w/ Gary Jarman (The Cribs)
Explicit content warning
01/25/24 • 82 min
This week, we talk to Gary Jarman of the UK band The Cribs, who chose a film so close to his (and his brother’s) heart, NIRVANA LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT! We discussed the massive influence this VHS tape had on the Jarman family and their future in rock, from their decision not to play encores to their affinity for putting noise into their melodies. We also discuss what it was like to come from such a small town where they had never seen anything on a punk level before, the concept of selling out, writing music or lyrics first, saving up stationary store coupons to buy Nirvana cassettes, Britpop, opening for Nirvana the day their album went gold, sabotaging your own live show, dealing with tabloids and the British music press, fantasizing about destroying the Top Of The Pops studio, not playing encores & the endless search for “the next Nirvana.”
So come dive into the drum set on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
