   In 1975, Cobain’s parents were divorcedwhen he was only 8 years old. Under the circumstances, hechose music as a way to escape reality. Cobain’s fa-ther joined a record club and every month he would give Cobain some records as small gifts.Cobain heard a lot of famous rock singers in these records, such as Aerosmith,Led Zeppelin,Black Sabbath,Kiss...On the 20th of February,1981,Cobain wanted a guitar as his birthday present, and from then on, he began his mu-sic career. Once he came across a report about the Sex Pistols, and Punk became his faith, deep-rooted at the bottom of his heart.
   Chris Novoselic, Cobain’s school-mate was acquainted withCobain when rehearsing at Melvins. And in 1987, Aaron Burckhard became a member of the group studio—the drummer. Finally they made up the embryo of Nirvana. In April,1991,Nirvana signed a contract with Geffen, a music stutio. In September, the album Nevermind was born, and it sold about 500 thousand volumes only in five weeks. It was a big commercial success.
  
   1975年,年仅8岁的 Kurt Cobain 面对父母离异的压力,选择音乐来逃避现实。Cobain 的父亲阴差阳错地加入了一家唱片俱乐部,每月收到的唱片便成了 Cobain 的礼物,他从中听到了 Aerosmith、Led Zeppelin、 Black Sabbath、Kiss ……1981年2月20日,Cobain 想要一把吉它作为他的生日礼物,那时起他就开始写自己的歌了,一次偶尔的机会 Cobain 看到了关于 “性手枪” 的报道,于是朋克摇滚成了他新的信念。
   Chris Novoselic ,Cobain 的校友,在 Melvins 的排练场和 Cobain 相识。1987年 Aaron Burckhard 成为他们的鼓手,并最终组成了Nirvana 的雏形。 1991年4月,Nirvana 正式和 Geffen 签约。同年9月,专集Nevermind发行,刚推出五周,销量就已达到50万张,在商业上取得了巨大的成功。
  
   In September,1993, the famous composer Steve Albini came to them andthey published a new album In Utero with his help. Steve Albini tried to produce a pure album of Punk, for this, he used many richer source materials than before.
   On the 18th of November 1993, Nirvana was invited to make an un-plugged concert for MTV. After that, some songs were released on the album Unplugged In New York. On March first,1994, Nirvana gave a performance in Munich, German. And it was the last time that the band worked in public.
   On April 8th,1994, when Cobain was found in his house by an electrician, he was dead with a letter beside him. The police in Seatle said that he had committed suicide 3 days before. And the band was finished. In 1996, in order to commemorate him, an album, FromThe Muddy Blanks of the Wishkan, which included 17 live songs by Nirvana,was born.
   1993年9月,Nirvana请来了著名制作人 Steve Albini 为他们作监制,发行了专辑In Utero。Steve Albini 试图录制一张原汁原味的朋克专辑,他运用了比以前更为丰富的音乐素材。
   1993年11月18日,Nirvana 应邀为 MTV 制作不插电演唱会,之后发行了这场不插电演唱会的部分歌曲Unplugged In New York。1994年3月1日,Nirvana 在德国慕尼黑的演出成为乐队最后的一次公开表演。
