Krist Anthony Novoselic (born May 16, 1965) is best known as the lanky bassist and founding member of Nirvana alongside Kurt Cobian and Dave Grohl; the band had massive success earning platinum awards and touring around the world to sold-out shows. After the band disbanded in 1994 following the death of Kurt Cobian, he formed DSweet 75 and Eyes Adrift. Both bands released one album. For three years, he played with the band Flipper. He played bass and accordion on the Foo Fighter’s album Wasting Light, once again working with former bandmate Dave Grohl. Novoselic has been politically active and created JAMPAC(Joint Artists and Musicians Political Action Committee); he wrote the column for the Seattle Weekly Website. Since 2008 he has been chairing the electoral reform organization Fair Vote. He will often reminisce about his good time with Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. I’ve heard him talk about politics and music and he is passionate about both Novoselic was a key player in one of modern music’s most influential bands and has time to jam with some friends.

OUT. || Imagine if Sunset Curve had made it big as they were so poised to do. And their influence going into the 2000s as being early Pop Punk and Punk Rock along with bands like Green Day, Bad Religion, Screaming Weasel.... Big bands that we know from the aughts and 2010s naming them as big influences in style, lyricism, musicality, or even through their own political work ( I 100000% see all three joining JAMPAC when Krist Novoselic was involved in forming it ). Wow. Just imagine if that precipice of renown they’d been standing right on the edge of had played out like they had been hoping and planning and working on.

Been a Son: Krist Novoselic

The future bass player for Nirvana was born on May 16, 1965 in Compton, California to Croatian parents. Due to the rising cost of real estate in California, his family would move to Aberdeen, Washington in 1971. In 1980, Novoselic moved for one year to Croatia, then returned to Washington state. Growing up, the guitarist listened to bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, The Who, Van Halen, but he also listened to Yugoslavian bands such as Zabranjeno Pušenje, Prljavo kazalište and Azra. During his short stint in Croatia, Krist was introduced to punk rock mainstays like the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. He has said that his primary influences relating to how he plays bass included Paul McCartney, Geezer Butler, John Entwhistle, and Gene Simmons. Novoselic’s brother Robert actually introduced him to Kurt Cobain. The future Nirvana lead singer was hanging out with Robert at their house when Cobain heard loud music coming from upstairs. His brother soon informed Kurt that it was Krist playing punk rock music. Cobain and Novoselic soon became friends as they shared a love of music especially local band, the Melvins. Cobain gave the guitarist a copy of a demo tape from his former band called Fecal Matter asking if he would like to start a new group. After quite a few months, the bassist finally listened to the demo tape, and liked it well enough to agree to start a band with Cobain. The first band for this duo only lasted a few weeks before breaking up. The two tentatively agreed to move on, but quickly changed their mind when they learned that the Melvins were paid $80 a night for their shows. They quickly started a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band, where Cobain played the drums, while Novoselic played guitar and sang vocals. This cover band did not last long at all, then a new group was formed after meeting drummer Aaron Burkhard. Although they never officially used the name, this technically became the first instance of Nirvana as a band. Burkhard would quickly leave the group, but they were able to get the drummer from the Melvins, Dale Crover, to fill in as they sought out a replacement. Chad Channing next joined the group as they would go on to record Nirvana’s debut album, Bleach. Krist contributed to the songwriting, always willing to share his ideas with Cobain. After the band recorded the album, it was Novoselic who drove to various record labels looking to sign with someone eventually choosing DGC Records. In 1992, Nirvana played the MTV Video Music Awards, where Novoselic attempted a bass toss, which went awry. He was not injured at the time, but the bassist pretended to be knocked out, which prompted Brian May of Queen to see if Novoselic needed medical attention. The bassist would many times sing backing vocals at Nirvana’s live shows and certain tracks from their albums. He would later say, "I kind of discovered my voice for the first time, and the more I did it, the better it got." In 1994, Nirvana got together for what would be their final recording session over the course of three days. Cobain was only present for the last day, but Novoselic and Dave Grohl worked on their own songs during the first two days. One track they played would be “Big Me,” a future hit for Grohl’s Foo Fighters. On that final day, Nirvana would record the track “You Know You’re Right.” After the tragic death of Cobain, Novoselic maintained privacy with his only public appearance being at the MTV Video Music Awards to pay tribute to the lead singer.

After the end of Nirvana, the guitarist continued to collaborate on music projects, the first being a new band called Sweet 75 in 1995 with Venezuelan born Yva Las Vegass. The duo would release a self-titled album in 1997. In 1996, he joined Johnny Cash, guitarist Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, and drummer Sean Kinney of Alice In Chains For a cover of “Time of the Preacher, which went on a Willie Nelson tribute album. In 1998, Krist directed his first film, L7. The premise represented a pseudo documentary offering up concert footage from three American cities shot in 1997. In 2002, Novoselic performed backing vocals for the Foo Fighters track “Walk The Line,” which stood out as a tribute to Kurt Cobain. Around that same time, he joined with Meat Puppets singer Curt Kirkwood, and former Sublime drummer Buddy Gaugh to form the group, Eyes Adrift. They were soon informed that another band from Australia had that name, so rather than paying any sort of license fee the group was called in America: Bud, Curt, and Krist. They would release a debut album in 2002 that was self-titled, but after touring they quickly broke up as the record failed commercially. For his next move, Novoselic announced that he would be stepping away from music for a while because he did not like all the promotion related to a new record. He still worked on musical projects, but mostly for himself, not for release. In 2006, the guitarist joined the band Flipper as their bass player for two years. He even worked with them on a new album, but left because the rest of the group was based in Ireland and England, not America. In 2011, Krist played bass guitar on a track for the Foo Fighters album, Wasting Light. A year later he played on the song “Cut Me Some Slack” with Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl at the 12-12-12 Festival. The recording would later be released winning a Grammy in 2014 for Best Rock Song. Allmusic had this to say about it: A tune with an “immediate hook [and] melody.” The collaboration would be given the nickname Sirvana, which referenced Sir Paul McCartney. Novoselic's current band is Giants in the Trees formed in 2017. They would release an album that same year.

Since high school, Krist Novoselic has always shown a strong interest in being politically active. In the early 1990’s, the state of Washington attempted to pass a bill called the Erotic Music Act, which made it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase an album if the record was deemed too erotic. A lobbyist group was soon formed to prevent the bill from passing called the Washington Music Industry Coalition. Nirvana actively campaigned in support of the group, even playing a benefit concert to raise funds. In 1995, the state legislature tried to pass the same law as part of a new bill called the Matters Harmful to Minors Bill. At this time, Novoselic proposed that the music industry in Seattle start a political action committee called JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Musicians Political Action Committee). Over the next few years, this committee fought for change related to a number of laws including an antiquated 1985 law called the Teen Dance Ordinance. This meant that anyone under the age of 18 could not attend a concert without a chaperone to supervise him or her. The more involved Novoselic got with politics, his priorities seemed to move away from music. In 2004, he even considered running for lieutenant governor of Washington, but in the end decided against it. In 2008, he was named chair to the board of FairVote, an organization looking to reform electoral voting in this country. He would support Barack Obama in 2008 for president, but soon after that the guitarist decided to break from the Democratic Party in order to identify himself as an independent. He would continue to remain active in politics speaking his mind in various forums. Krist would write a column for a Seattle weekly newspaper blog from 2007 until 2010. The bassist would correctly predict how large a part social networks would soon play in the area of politics. In June 2020, Novoselic made some comments praising then President Donald Trump for his speech following the George Floyd riots. The musician would receive significant backlash causing him to release the statement. “As an avowed independent, I don't endorse a major party or candidate. And it feels insane to have to say this, but I don't support fascism, and I don't support an authoritarian state. I believe in a civilized society and that we all have to work toward that." Since then, Novoselic has made his Facebook page private and deleted his Twitter account.

In other forms of media, Krist Novoselic published a book in 2004 called Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy! The book served as part autobiography and part political opinion. In 2009, he made a brief cameo in the film, The World’s Greatest Dad starring Robin Williams. The director Bobcat Goldthwait previously had opened for Nirvana. The guitarist has been married twice, 1989 and 2004. His current wife is Darbury Ayn Stenderu, an artist with whom he has two children. He resides in Deep River, Washington. “I live out in the country now and it's quiet and it's a place where I can think a lot."

Fact-Checking Krist Novoselic’s Tweet

Earlier this week, Nirvana bassist Mr. Krist Novoselic got into hot water in the Twitterverse because of a tweet that praised President Trump’s speech. The backlash was immediate and he de-activated his twitter. While I do admit I happen to be a big fan of Novoselic (I’ve written quite a bit about him and Nirvana, including my recent post about his birthday), I do think it is important to look at the facts, the larger context, and understand what he was saying vs. what is being said online.

Krist and former Nirvana bandmates Pat Smear and Dave Grohl earlier this year

Cobain, Krist, and Grohl circa 1991

For some background: Krist is the son of Croatian immigrants and grew up in WA state. In high school, he played in several bands and he founded Nirvana with Kurt Cobain. Nirvana’s music and message was all about equality and raging against sexism, racism and homophobia. They played several benefit concerts and did charity work for causes they believed in, including a 1993 benefit for Bosnian rape victims, which was important to Krist. Following Cobain’s 1994 death and the end of Nirvana, Krist continued to play music (Sweet 75, Eyes Adrift, Flipper, and his current band Giants In The Trees), but he has actually become more politically active than musically active. He formed JAMPAC a Political Action Committee for musicians, joined the board of Fair Vote (a non-profit for electoral reform), wrote a 2004 book Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy (I met him at a book signing in NYC when this came out), and he’s been very involved in WA campaigns and a supporter of several causes, including Rank Choice Voting. 

Krist identifies as an independent voter. In the past he has endorsed such candidates as Obama in 2008 and libertarian Gary Johnson in 2016. 

“You know I think that if you make money, and you start voting republican, because you'll get tax breaks, and they're the party of the rich, I mean, that's sold-out.“ - Krist in a 1992 interview

This brings us to the tweet: President Trump gave a speech Monday in response to the protests following the killing of George Floyd. Here is a screengrab of the tweet that has since been taken down: 

The backlash was immediate: “The guy from Nirvana was supporting a fascist dictator”, “Maybe he lost a few brain cells when he threw his bass in the air and it hit him in the head at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards”, “Cobain must me turning in his grave”, “Whatever Nevermind Krist!”, the list goes on. R.E.M.’s Mike Mills simply tweeted “Oh, Krist, no”. Before we throw Krist into celebrity jail, I think its important to look at the facts:

Fact: This was not an endorsement of Trump, just praising a speech he gave.

On social media, Krist has been very vocal of his criticism of Trump and the GOP on several occasions. He even said the President should not be sending troops into states IN this same tweet. I don’t think this is any reason to put Krist anywhere close to Kid Rock, Ted Nugent or Kanye West, all of whom have praised and endorsed Trump. 

Fact: This does not diminish or take anything away from Nirvana’s music.

I am a firm believer that you need to separate the artist from the artist’s work. If you have a writer, artist, musician or filmmaker and they turn out to be a total jerk, that doesn’t mean their work is is suddenly bad. 

The other thing to keep in mind is that Cobain wrote the lyrics to their music. So any sort of belief that this tweet means that Krist is now a conservative right-wing fascist who suddenly hates women, minorities and LGBTQ and Nirvana’s message of their music doesn’t matter anymore - is preposterous. A popular meme going around on Twitter after the story broke was this Cobain quote from the line notes of Incesticide:

I think Krist still has those same beliefs, he just felt this one particular speech from Trump was stronger than others. 

Fact: After coming under fire, Krist de-activated his Twitter, but he responded on Facebook. Here is Krist’s response: 

To clarify a few things: As an avowed independent, I don’t endorse a major party or candidate. And it feels insane to have to say this , but I don’t support fascism, and I don’t support an authoritarian state. I believe in a civilized society and that we all have to work toward that. Love and thanks to anyone who cares to read this. 

My opinion: While I, myself, do not agree with Krist’s views on Trump’s speech, I don’t think this comes anywhere close to Jon Voight calling Trump “the greatest President since Lincoln”. I certainly don’t think this takes anything away from his work. Instead of voting for one party and thinking one way that a lot of people think he should feel, he has chosen to be independent and hear all sides. 

There are plenty of musicians in my music collection who voted differently than the way I’ve voted: Johnny Ramone, Gene Simmons, Gary Cherone, Joe Perry, Mike Love, and Dave Mustaine just to name a few. That doesn’t mean I have to boycott them and dislike their music. Krist, himself, didn’t say anything offensive, but because Trump is so offensive to so many, anything that is even remotely kind to him is considered an endorsement of Trump’s hatred. In this particular tweet, I think Krist is being misunderstand. 

Bottom line: Nirvana is still one of the greatest bands of all time. Krist is one of the greatest bass players of all time. This one tweet does not change that IMHO.
