Is this an old person thing? Do people actually do this?

I remember reading somewhere that Kurt Cobain was a fan, so much so he invited them to open for Nirvana in 1992. Dead Moon was touring New Zealand at the time and didn't want to cancel a gig for a better gig.

Hahaha great story! I love how their lack of success seems like a self inflicted mediocrity plague. I really love "bad" music.

Kurt Cobain also helped bring attention to Daniel Johnston by wearing his shirt on stage at his big mtv appearance. Another great "bad" artist I love.
