THURSDAY | JAN 9


Pay tribute to the gods of grunge.

Grunge wasn’t just music — it was a generation’s rebellion in flannel and feedback. On January 9, Smells Like Nirvana resurrects that raw (teen) spirit at The Olympic, ripping through Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero, and beyond with no click tracks, no backing tracks, and no apologies. With Paul Wandtke at the helm, this Chicago-based tribute act gives us the distortion, the heartbreak, and the tragic beauty of the band that started it all - Nirvana.
