Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic joined tribute band FooVana for a live performance of some classic Nirvana tracks.
The Portland-based Foo Fighters/Nirvana tribute act were joined by Novoselic who played several classic Nirvana tracks with them, including ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, and ‘Lithium’, as well as ‘Blew’ from their 1989 debut album ‘Bleach’.
FooVana were performing at Georgie’s Garage in Vancouver, Washington last Thursday (July 18). You can check out these performances for yourselves below.

Novoselic On Paul McCartney
Last year, Krist Novoselic also recalled how Beatles legend Paul McCartney joined the band in the recording studio.
McCartney collaborated with the band back in 2012, recording the song, ‘Cut Me Some Slack’. The track went on to feature in Dave Grohl’s 2013 film, Sound City.
Novoselic compared this experience to “going boxing with Muhammad Ali”.
“Dave had sent me an email asking if I wanted to record with Paul McCartney in L.A”, he revealed.
“And I said, ‘Dude, I’ll walk there from Washington if I have to.’ So I flew down and we were standing around figuring out what to do, and I kept thinking, please don’t make me play bass guitar, please don’t make me play bass”.
Novoselic added: “That’s like being asked to do karate with Bruce Lee – you’re going to get your ass kicked. ‘Yep, I’m going boxing. Who’s your sparring partner? Muhammad Ali. Good luck with that!”.
