The latter two bands are the subjects of Pavitt’s new book, which chronicles in photos and text Nirvana’s 1989 tour of Europe with label mates Tad, leading up to their career making appearance at the Lame Fest Sub Pop UK Showcase in London with headliners Mudhoney. Pavitt left Sub Pop in 1996 but still maintains close ties” to the label.
