Nirvana's Pete Best

Not many people know that Chad Channing was one of the original drummers in Nirvana. He is that band's Pete Best, leaving just before the height of their popularity. In this Rolling Stone article, he talks up his new music and talks about being in Nirvana. His new project is called Before Cars, and will also be produced by Bleach boardman Jack Endino.

"Although not Nirvana's original drummer, Channing was the first to appear on record with the band during their Sub Pop Records glory years. Along with guitarist-vocalist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, he played on the group's first-ever release, 1988's "Love Buzz/Big Cheese" single, as well as Bleach and the 1990 EP Blew."
