Dave Grohl looks back on Nevermind sessions: “Nobody thought Nirvana was going to be huge”
Who could have anticipated that when Nirvana entered Sound City Studios in May 1991 they were about to make history? Certainly, it seems, not the band themselves – according to drummer Dave Grohl, “We thought, ‘Hopefully we’ll get to achieve the success of a band like Sonic Youth, and each get to have our own apartment!’ That was the extent of our ambitions.” It transpired, of course, that Nevermind’s success transformed not only the lives of the band and their affiliates – but the lives of many millions more, who found a deep connection with the band’s music and,...
Send us your questions for Mercury Rev
From 1991’s intoxicatingly strange debut Yerself Is Steam and the gorgeously whacked-out single “Car Wash Hair”, to 2019’s reimagining of Bobbie Gentry’s The Delta Sweete, Mercury Rev have pursued their unique vision of fantastical, psychedelic Americana. Pianos have been dismantled, “wave accumulators” have been built, Radio 1 playlists have been breached – “The Dark Is Rising” was a UK Top 20 single in 2002! – and members have come and gone, mingling with auspicious cameos from the likes of Alan Vega, Hope Sandoval and Levon Helm. But throughout it all, Mercury Rev have been held together by the inspired...
BLK JKS Abantu/Before Humans
Bands like BLK JKS don’t come along often, especially in places like Johannesburg. There was no South African indie rock scene to speak of when the group emerged from the city’s Spruitview district in the mid-2000s, and their distinctive sound – a blend of kwaito, dub and township soul fired through a prism of dissonant alternative rock – made them a hot ticket. Diplo invited them out to New York to play their first American shows. Dave Grohl called their 2009 album After Robots his favourite album of the year. They kicked off the 2010 World Cup at Soweto’s...
David John Morris Monastic Love Songs
Take a map and find Gampo Abbey, a Buddhist monastery situated on a rugged finger of Nova Scotia, Canada, and you might notice that it sits at the end of a long track called Red River Road. David Morris, singer and songwriter in England’s Red River Dialect, wasn’t aware of the name when he applied for a nine-month stay at the monastery, but he couldn’t help draw meaning from it. ORDER NOW: The August 2021 issue of Uncut “Part of me likes the idea that everything’s coming together in some kind of cosmic fashion,” he tells Uncut, “like a David...
Billy F Gibbons Hardware
If, at any point during the recent crisis, you found yourself thinking, ‘What would Billy Gibbons do?’ – and there are probably worse role models – you might have pictured the ZZ Top frontman lighting out for some cactus-pocked desert redoubt in one of his garageful of hot rods. A scarlet coupe, perhaps, flames painted along the bonnet, packed with some of Gibbons’ legendarily vast guitar collection, and sufficient provisions to ride out lockdown. ORDER NOW: The August 2021 issue of Uncut You wouldn’t have been too far wrong. Hardware was recorded in the rocky mesas of California’s Mojave, Gibbons...Recent Posts
