About Me:
Nervana (a tribute) have been described as the most authentic reproduction of the original 3-piece to ever to take to the stage. Receiving rave reviews all across Europe, from fans and critics alike, the trio have invaded the world with Grunge fever yet again. Sixteen years after the sad passing of rock legend & Icon Kurt Cobain, there still seemed to be a void in the music industry. Many tribute acts appeared & disappeared just as fast over the years, but something special was on the horizon...
Drummer Steve Kilroy, a Boston native, met bassist/studio engineer Dave Eve in London while recording an album with 'Gods Little Joke' for Revolver Records UK. After the release of the record, ('A Moment of Clarity') Dave toured the States and the UK with the band. While touring, they opened for 'The Australian Nirvana'. Soon after, Steve received an opportunity to play & tour with the group, then Dave joined in as well.
Both remained members of 'The Australian Nirvana' for the better part of 5 years, touring seven European countries constantly before setting out on their own to find a new singer. It was a difficult decision but they wanted to push the tribute show to a new level and were determined to get it right or not do it at all. Having been in multi-national bands for most of their careers, they had the luxury of seeking the best front-man out there, no matter where he was. They also knew the guy would have to be young. "Nirvana is about youth and angst and we wanted to give the fans what they really want to see and hear when they come to see a Nirvana tribute."
Jon had been perfecting his technique and had been searching for the right rhythm section in Ireland with little luck when Steve contacted him. "After seeing Jon's solo covers of Nirvana songs on youtube, we stopped looking." Oddly enough, the two had actually met a few years back at an 'Australian Nirvana' show in Waterford, so there was an immediate connection.
"It was on!" 'Nervana, a tribute' (as it is officially titled) took their first steps into tribute band territory. After a matter of two short weeks, Jon flew to the U.S, to rehearse, record and tour in the US. It was obvious after the first rehearsal that it was going to be better than expected and when they hit the stage, it was if they had been playing together for years not days!
Since performing their very 1st show in November 2009, the guys have gone on from strength to strength. 2010 saw them play greatly received shows all across Europe. Their hard work year culminating in a stellar performance at Liverpool's Mathew Street Festival, where Nervana performed to a crowd over 50.000 strong! - (youtube.com/nervanatribute)
Nervana have been pulling in the crowds both in the US and Europe and the response has been wicked!! So far They've hit 4 countries and will be visiting many more soon! Touring is what the boys in Nervana live for, so expect to see them soon!
+ Peace + "

Where would you like to see NervanaTribute perform this year?
& what new tracks are you looking forward to hearing in our set?
|
Scotland. If you come to Scotland, make sure to perform somewhere in Glasgow! Hearing a few originals, including "Down", would make it an even better gig. Peace.
Aberdeen, Scotland. We have a great Exhibition Centre. I would really like to see some In Utero material, perhaps some B-sides such as "I Hate Myself & I Want To Die" . Here's the website to the centre if you're interested http://www.aecc.co.uk
