Twenty years after Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ exploded, the bassist talks about the album, the hype, the lessons learned, the re-issues, and what losing Kurt Cobain meant to him.

Born to Croatian immigrants in Compton, Calif., in 1965, Novoselic’s family lived in Southern California until relocating to Aberdeen, Wash., in the early ’80s. It was there that he met Kurt Cobain, who was impressed by Novoselic’s passion for punk rock. After numerous invitations, Novoselic agreed to form a band with Cobain. Nirvana recorded its Sub Pop debut album “Bleach” in 1989 for $606.17 with Seattle producer Jack Endino. After several lineup changes, Cobain and Novoselic eventually partnered with drummer Dave Grohl and Nirvana released two studio albums on Geffen – “Nevermind” (1991) and “In Utero” (1993) — before Cobain’s suicide in 1994. The most famous band to emerge from the grunge movement, Nirvana has sold 25.6 million albums in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. An avid political activist, Novoselic is helping put together the 20th-anniversary reissue of “Nevermind.” It’s due Sept. 27 on Universal Music Enterprises.
