r/nirvannatheband

Hi folks,

I'm British and to be honest have very little background knowledge around the movie or the creators/what's come before.

I was browsing films to watch at my local cinema and this one came up. My friend is a Nirvana fan so I initially thought this was some sort of documentary (that may be quite funny to you lol). However, seeing the trailer and reading a bit about it, I quickly realised it's not.

Now I have found out this film comes with a very dedicated fan base, and being part of similar bases, I know how important films like this are.

However, am I safe going into this film with literally no context other than the trailer? Or am I going to need a bit of background knowledge into what has come before?

Also, are there any other films/TV shows that are comparable to this? Just so I have an idea?

TIA!

I've always thought Matt's jeans in Nirvanna The Band were blue, but recently someone on Reddit said they're gray. I cannot figure out what colour his jeans actually are.

I would rent the apartment from the web series.

It would start at 10AM, in the apartment. On a white board to piano music, we would come up with a plan for booking a lunch at the Rivoli.

How? ...We start a band.

The tour bus would look like the RV.

We would take a band photo at Sears.

But, then we realize we don't know how to get to the Rivoli.

We would go up the CN tower, to try and see the Rivoli from up high.

A camera crew would tape us, the entire time.

We'd visit locations along the way.

We would visit the museum, and everyone would bring one piece of a display, which we'd secretly build, then smash the glass, and grab the printed out Google maps instructions to drive to the Rivoli.

We'd sneak into Now Magazine, to get a Rivoli gift card.

Then we'd pick up Matt Johnson (the athlete, not the filmmaker), and do a Q&A, where he gets to ask us about Nirvanna the Band and we blown his mind.

And it ends with lunch at the Rivoli.

I have watched the entire web series, and I LOVED it!! I just need some help watching the show (Season 1-2). I would gladly buy the show, but it has literally been wiped from the face of the internet. What is the best way to watch those seasons? PLZ help!!! Thank you!
