Oh well.. Whatever.. Nevermind.. 🙌 30 years ago, September 24th 1991 - a little album by a little trio from Aberdeen, Washington hit the shops. The band was Nirvana. The album was Nevermind. It has gone on to sell more than 30 million copies worldwide, and its legacy is manifold and dizzying. In defining and then transcending the genre of grunge, it altered the cultural landscape for ever. ⚡️ On October 28, 1991, just as Nirvana were tearing up the rock'n'roll rule book with their major label debut Nevermind, Austin resident and one of the industries leading underwater photographers, Kirk Weddle, was commissioned to shoot the band for photos to promote the impending blitz. His idea? Toss the band into a swimming pool to mimic the album's infamous naked baby cover image he’d shot a few months earlier. But when the band showed up for the session at a Los Angeles pool in North Hollywood, they were hardly in the mood. It was first time Kirk met the band members, and they were exhausted from a string of West Coast gigs. The weather was unseasonably cold for an outdoor swim, so cold that Kirk wore a wetsuit. He recalls, "The guys were like, 'Wow, we've got to swim in this?'"

Sunday vibes... 😴 Kurt Cobain sleeping during the promotional Nevermind shoot in 1991 by Kirk Weddle.. Here's the story: "Kurt was so tired he went to sleep as soon as he got to the shoot, and nobody wanted to wake him up. So I was like, "All right, we'll just shoot him asleep for a while." We covered him up with a bathrobe, put a guitar next to him [laughs]. He was out for a long time, like 90 minutes." 🎸 This photo is featured as part of our Nirvana exhibition "Oh well.. Whatever.. Nevermind" which is on now and running until April 13th✌️❤️🎵 #nirvana #kurtcobain #kirkweddle #nevermind #ohwellwhatevernevermind #grunge #nineties #smellsliketeenspirit #rockandroll #muse #legendsneverdie #style #styleicon #pool #sunday #rockroyalty #davegrohl #kristnovoselic #lovebuzz #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGs2bUAHGa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o4lqmzf0qnty
