Bret Morgen's much-anticipatedKurt Cobain documentaryMontage of Heck comes out next Friday in theaters and debuts on HBO May 4th. (Stay tuned for an illuminating interview with Morgen next week on Papermag.com.) Today, the Times has a feature on the film and Morgen that includes this clip from the documentary, featuring an early Nirvana "gig" consisting of Cobain and Krist Novoselic playing in a wood-paneled room for two bored-looking boys. A voice-over from Cobain describes these nascent performances as mostly being attended by "locals who hated our guts and thought it was terrible music." The clip segues into a current interview with Novoselic, in which he isn't billed as Nirvana's bassist but as a friend, discussing his and Cobain's shared love for punk rock as teenagers and Cobain's art. Watch above.
