Then in 1986 Kurt joined a band, they decided to call themselves Nirvana.  Kurt was very insistent that they were not the same kind of band that the previous band named Nirvana was like.  Kurt would be playing the guitar and singing.  Then finally they got a record deal, in 1989 their first album came out, Bleach. Kurt never liked the big audience inpersonal shows.  If is was not for the money Nirvana would have been a night club band only.

 

In the early 90's Kurts started to do heavy drugs.  Even though his personal life got better, in 1992 he got married to.
