Nirvana, Nevermind
Everything that needs to be said and written about Nevermind has already been said and written. But this one fact remains a fantastic part of Boston rock history: On the eve of Nevermind’s release, with the popularity of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at a fever pitch across America, Nirvana played Axis on Lansdowne Street for WFNX’s 8th birthday bash, alongside locals Cliffs of Dooneen and Bullet LaVolta and another upstart rock band, Smashing Pumpkins. The Nirvana dudes even played “Crisco twister” next door on stage at Bill’s Bar. RIP WFNX.
Released: September 24, 1991
