   moovyphreak says I don't know why, but I always wondered what happened to Nirvana's bassist Krist Novocelic and this post reminded me of him. Look what a Google image search turned up! And here's what Wikipedia has to say about him following the break-up of Nirvana after Kurt Cobain's suicide: The following year, the Erotic Music Law was reintroduced to the Washington State Legislature as the Matters Harmful to Minors bill. Noting that the music industry had serious clout in Seattle given the success of the scene, Novoselic proposed creating a political action committee, which was named JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Musicians Political Action Committee). Over the next several years, JAMPAC fought a number of different issues, including the Teen Dance Ordinance, a 1985 law that severely limited the ability of minors to attend shows. With JAMPAC, Novoselic began to turn his focus more and more towards politics. At the same time, Novoselic continued to dabble in musical endeavors. He turned down an offer from former band member and friend Dave Grohl who invited him to join his new band Foo Fighters because he was worried that people would think Foo Fighters would be a rip off of Nirvana. Novoselic instead formed the band Sweet 75 in 1995, releasing a single self-titled album. In 1999, he joined Jello Biafra and former Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil in the No WTO Combo. He then joined former Meat Puppets frontman Curt Kirkwood and former Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh to form Eyes Adrift, which disbanded in 2003. Following the end of Eyes Adrift, Novoselic announced that he was quitting the music business, noting that he disliked the process of building up publicity for new records. However, in recent years, Novoselic has occasionally worked on music for a possible solo album, noting, "Right now, I’m just doing it for myself, and that’s what it’s all about." Novoselic remains active in politics as an elected Democratic State Committeeman, making appearances to advocate electoral reform (especially instant-runoff voting and proportional representation) and running the website fixour.us. He considered a 2004 run for Lieutenant Governor of Washington (as a Democrat, challenging an incumbent of the same party), but ultimately decided against it. He is also on the board of FairVote-The Center Voting and Democracy. His first book, Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy, was published in October 2004. He lives in the isolated community of Deep River, in Wahkiakum County, Washington. Novoselic is an FAA licensed pilot with a single engine land rating. He owns a Cessna 182 under the registration N233KS. Novoselic currently (2006) hosts a Saturday night radio program on Astoria, Oregon community radio statio KMUN. His DJ name is "DJ K-No". In November 2006, it was announced that Novoselic will join Flipper, replacing Bruno DeSmartas on bass, for a tour of the UK and Ireland.
