Damian talks about Nirvana
MTV is doing something to honor the anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind... and asked a bunch of bands to talk about it. ANd Damian is one of them.
DAMIAN KULASH
OK GO
"It seems pretty unlikely that a band could change the entire industry the way Nirvana did. The industry is much more flexible now, and there's not just one giant tower to fell. I think what big labels learned from Nirvana is that they should always look for the thing that seems least likely to succeed, because it's probably going to be the next big thing. And that's why every six months now, you hear of a band that is 'completely changing the music industry,' because it's just part of the promotion. But in saying that, I've seen a lot of bands lately that are really spectacular. A band from Boston called Apollo Sunshine, they're really great. Their live shows are so electric that I get that tingling feeling that I'm watching something special."
