Twenty-one never-before-seen images from a 1991 club gig are selling Feb 20th

It was just six days after Nirvana released their groundbreaking Nevermind album when they took the stage on October 1, 1991 at the intimate JC Dobbs venue in Philadelphia, PA. Photographer Faith West was in the crowd that night and captured the raw, electric energy. A few weeks after the show, the band exploded to international stardom.

Now, over three decades later, 21 never-before-seen live Nirvana images are set to be sold as NFTs via Pop Legendz on February 20th, marking what would have been Kurt Cobain’s 55th birthday. These one-of-akind NFTs are available on Pop Legendz website, a gateway site to the trusted Polygon blockchain where these NFTs are minted. Pop Legendz is selling these unforgettable moments directly to fans and collectors alike, with the ability to purchase with a cryptocurrency wallet or a credit card.

“At the club that night, the air was thick with anticipation,” recalls West. “There was a buzz of excitement in the air that said something awesome was about to transpire. Also, there was a sense of joy emanating from Cobain in his raucous guitar licks and the transcendent longing of his vocals…I can still hear the echo of the fuzzy guitar in my head, three decades later.”

For high-end music collectors, four unique one-of-a-kind NFTs made from 10 never-before-seen images have been selected to be sold, auction-style, with bids beginning at 67 Ethereum (currently valued at a quarter million US dollars). These buyers will also receive a framed 16″x24″ fine-art print of one image, signed by the photographer. Additionally, these 10 images will be auctioned off individually as NFTs, both in black-and-white and in acid-washed color versions.

For fans of Nirvana — the band that altered the course of rock history forever — there’s the Nirvana Fan Club, a sale of limited edition NFTs for fans: 200 lucky Nirvana fans have the ability to purchase 14 artworks as NFTs, crafted from three images, at $499 US each, plus 100 copies of each of 21 still images will be sold for $99 US each, in both black and white and acid-washed color.

Half of all proceeds benefit both Grid Alternatives, a non-profit bringing solar power to working poor families plus another well-known charity that assists LGBTQ+ youths at risk of suicide.

Pop Legendz is the first NFT platform that will exclusively feature pop culture icons, aiming to bring the reliable ownership ledger and fun of collecting NFTs to the traditional pop culture memorabilia market.
