I remember seeing the Melvins gig poster on some telephone pole or something in downtown SLC, with "Nirvana" in smaller type beneath the Melvins promo shot. I went to my favorite punk record store and asked the owner, Mark, I think his name was, who this Nirvana was. I'd heard of the Melvins, and Mark knew I'd just picked up Ozma there a week or so ago. "Oh, they're just one of those Seattle hair bands," Mark said. "But all the kids around here are more into the Melvins."
Out of curiosity I went over to the bins and chose to buy the Bleach LP. That was only about 9 months before Nevermind.
