A new clip from Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, streaming at NYTimes.com, shows the young band rocking out in front of an audience of just two people -- or, as Krist Novoselic calls them, "locals who hated our guts and thought it was terrible music."
"If we played together in the house for a couple of hours and if two people stopped by, we considered that a gig," the Nirvana bassist says in the clip.
Novoselic also remembers meeting a young Kurt Cobain, who was working as a janitor at the time.
"He'd always have to do some kind of art -- usually defacing something," Novoselic says. "He never had idle hands. It just came out of him, he had to express himself."
Montage of Heck will be released for a limited theatrical run in the U.S. on April 24. The film will air on HBO on May 4.
