Show #203: A Preemptive R.I.P. for Smart Studios

January 9th, 2010

With the news that Smart Studios will close before the spring thaw, I thought I’d post those Nirvana demos that always get mentioned when the studio is brought up.

They were recorded in April 1990 and feature Chad Channing on drums who was replaced by Dave Grohl shortly after these sessions.

Setlist:

Imodium
Pay To Play
Sappy
Polly
In Bloom
Dive
Lithium
Here She Comes Now

Here’s some footage of Smart courtesy of The Villains of Verona, a Chicago band who mixed an album there.
