In honor of Kurt Cobain’s birthday yesterday (he would have been 54 years old) we are highlighting The Pyramid Club NYC in the East Village, where on April 26th, 1990, Nirvana played as part of their “Bleach” club tour. It was the 2nd time, Nirvana played at the club, the 1st being on July 18th, 1989, three days after the release of their debut album “Bleach”.
Even though they placed twice at the club, the 2nd performance is most notable as Kurt @kurtcobain ended the night by smashing his guitar in frustration at the awful sound quality and the band’s perceived poor playing.
The Pyramid Club first opened in 1979 and soon became a hangout for struggling artists, musicians and drag queens. We remember seeing a performance by John Sex there among countless others and we hope that it is able to reopen since its been closed since March 2020 due to the pandemic.
