"Every drum fill and bass line, every blast of feedback and every flick of Stuart's bleached hair, is faithful to the original, even better than the real thing!" Kerrang!

TEEN SPIRIT recognised by fans and the media as the World's best Nirvana Tribute are commemorating the 10th anniversary of the passing of Kurt Cobain with a world tour. Having smashed over 70 guitars since the bands beginnings in 1994, this year will see dozens more obliterated in celebration of the life of the king of grunge.

Kurt Cobain was still alive when Stuart Collier formed a band back home in Australia whilst visiting his family. They would throw in a couple of Nirvana tunes because Nirvana had never toured Australia. Now the band are in demand across the UK and Europe… playing the show that Nirvana used to play when they were the world's most exciting live band.

An exciting and faithful show from look a likes to accurate musicianship, it culminates with the band trashing their equipment every night. The guitar roadie is dressed in full surgical outfit, and wheels Kurt as if it was the Reading Festival all over again. The band also play an "Unplugged" Nirvana show with the addition of a cellist.

The band will be emulating exactly the same shows as the last days of Nirvana including the last New Years eve show and even the last ever Nirvana Concert. You can't see Nirvana but you can relive the power and excitement with the next best thing.

Support for the Manchester date is provided by Delaney and Naked Lounge, two local bands that applied to the appeal for a support act posted on www.gigs-unlimited.co.uk and www.manchestermusic.co.uk.
