The Nirvana bassist performed “Blew,” “Lithium,” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with the tribute act
Krist Novoselic joined a Nirvana/Foo Fighters tribute band called FooVana for a handful of Nirvana songs during a show at Georgie’s Garage in Vancouver, Washington on Thursday night (July 18th).
The Nirvana bassist performed with the Portland, Oregon-based tribute act on “Blew,” “Lithium,” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” It was apparently the first time Novoselic played “Blew” live in more than three decades.
Shortly before the show, FooVana alerted fans to Novoselic’s appearance, showing a photo of the bassist onstage and writing, “Get down here to Georgie’s Garage and Grill! Show’s about to start! Oh yeah that’s right… Somebody else is here!!!”
Novoselic recently made news when it was announced that he was running for President of the United States in an effort to get the Cascade Party of Washington to be recognized by the state as a “bona fide party.”

The Portland, Oregon-based tribute band FooVana was joined by a special guest on Thursday evening at their show in Vancouver, Washington: original Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.
“Get down here to Georgie’s Garage and Grill! Show’s about to start! Oh yeah that’s right… Somebody else is here!!!” the band wrote on their social media before the show, sharing a photo of Novoselic.
Together, they played three Nirvana songs: “Blew,” “Lithium” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” You can watch the performances below.
Is There Any Chance of a Nirvana Reunion?
Last year, Novoselic was asked by NME if he was interested in reuniting with the other surviving members of Nirvana: Dave Grohl and Pat Smear.
“I’d like to,” he said. “There was a time after Kurt [Cobain] died when I said to myself, ‘I’m never going to play these songs again.’ That was part of the grief I went through. We don’t want to overdo it, we try to make it special and be grateful.

“When the opportunity comes, we do it if it feels right. In the meantime, we just remember Kurt and do our thing.”
