Nirvanher - All Female Nirvana Tribute - O'Riley's, Hull 21st June 2025

London did all she could to get a small audience going and had a sassy, confident persona. Her strong stage presence was phenomenal and she demonstrated a very impressive physicality in her performance: she did backbends, rock kicks and raged around the stage with more high energy. Her raspy, sexy vocal delivery along with her dynamic stage presence demanded attention and it's evident that she has decades of experience, having performed at iconic venues, such as Whiskey A Go Go and the 100 Club, as well as the Rebellion Festival. She brought unbelievable energy to her performance and witty banter between songs. 

London engaged with the other band members, who consist of Pat on bass guitar and Cristina on drums, and they clearly have a love of Nirvana and grunge. Pat's bass lines and intricate riffs provide the groove and depth that drive Nivarnher's sound whilst Cristina's versatile drumming provided a powerful rocking rhythm to Nivarnher's explosive performance.

 

Although they are usually accompanied by guitarist, Ezra, but she was unable to attend for personal unforeseen family issues so they have had to cancel their Bournemouth show and postpone the one in Leicester. However, you can still catch them in their rescheduled shows in London on 28th September and in Winchester on 21st February 2026. For Saturday night, they had a male guitarist fill in so they were able to fulfil their commitments but it's really unfortunate that they've been plagued with bad luck because they are a brilliant band worth watching. 

They were supported by Lux Lisbon, who are an impressive up-and-coming local Hull band, who've performed in other local venues, such as Adelphi. Fronted by lead singer, Isaac, they are starting to get more gigs for good reason.
