Come as You Are to Kurt Cobain Tribute Concerts in Bangkok

BANGKOK — Most everyone over 30 can remember where they were April 5, 1994, when they heard about the suicide of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain.

Bangkok rockers will pour their hearts into two Nirvana tribute shows next month to honor Cobain and the band’s music and bang their heads to “Rape Me” one more time.

So lay down your burdens, come sit at the table and taste the grace at these two stirring gigs.
