Organized Confusion
In late 1982, at age 15, Kurt Cobain recorded his first set of 
original songs, under the name Organized Confusion, on his aunt's
four track recorder. Around the same time, Krist Novoselic,
who was two years older, met Buzz Osborne and Matt Likin,
who were from nearby Montesano and played in a band called
The Melvins. When their drummer quit, Novoselic suggested
his friend Dale Crover. The reconstituted Melvins began practicing
on the back porch of Crover's parents' house in Aberdeen, with
Novolselic and Cobain often hanging out. The two found common
ground on their love of the Melvins and punk rock, and in 1986
they decided to form their own band.
