Nirvana is a hugely successful Pixies tribute band (of the genre of polka), lead by singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain, who famously attempted suicide in the early 1990s by marrying Courtney Love. Following the failed suicide attempt, the group bounced back with a string of successful singles in addition to providing the theme song for the hit NBC sitcom 2 And A Half Men. Nirvana is also a worldwide restaurant chain known for serving "heroinies"(secret ingredient is "love").
The group continues to tour, record and produce commercial jingles. Most recently, they appeared on Saturday Night Live mocking their previously anti-mainstream demeanor, having since changed their name to Snow Patrol.

[edit] Early Years
Nirvana performed under various monickers before settling on Marcy Playground, and later Nirvana. Past names include The Melvins, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, The Beatles, R.E.M. and briefly "Cheap Trick being molested by Black Sabbath while The Jam watches and fingers members of The Velvet Underground while he watches Jefferson Airplane have an oral sex orgy with the Grateful Dead".
While critics dismissed the band's early efforts as "kind of boring. Turn it off.", opinion shifted when the band hired an actual producer, Butchy Wig, of Garbaged infamy. While the sound remained boring, it was now louder and on the radio more, prompting critics to declare Kurt Cobain the James Earl Jones of his Generation. They maintain the Grunge tradition of using guitars with only half the normal number of strings.
In 1995, lead drummer Stanley Kubrick left to pursue a career writing Frank Black songs. Sometimes he would occasionally write a Kim Deal song.
