Former NIRVANA Drummer To Release BEFORE CARS Single

March 7, 2007

BEFORE CARS, the new band featuring former NIRVANA drummer Chad Channing — Dave Grohl's predecessor, who played on NIRVANA's 1989 debut, "Bleach" — on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, as well as drums, will release its vinyl single on March via Flotation Records. The single, which features the tracks "Old Chair" and "99 To Go", is limited to 500 copies and can be ordered via www.flotationrecords.com. "With the release of the single I hope to generate some interest in BEFORE CARS in the United States and also Europe, Australia and Japan," Channing recently told journalist Greg Prato. "I'd really like to get out and tour around the States and Europe — hopefully within the next year or so. We've been playing locally and have been very well received. Our MySpace has so many hits from all over the world, it will be really great to play for fans from other countries and see what they think, too. I am planning on recording more songs this spring with ['Bleach' producer] Jack Endino and then we'll be able to put together a full CD to release. So just going to take things one day at a time and see what happens. I love making this music, and I'm really happy people love hearing it, too. It's the music I've always wanted to play."

Although not NIRVANA's original drummer, Channing was the first to appear on record with the band during their Sub Pop Records glory years. Along with guitarist-vocalist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, he played on the group's first-ever release, 1988's "Love Buzz/Big Cheese" single, as well as "Bleach" and the 1990 EP "Blew".
