Krist Novoselic

Krist Anthony Novoselic (born May 16, 1965, Compton, California) is an American rock musician best known for being the bassist for Nirvana.

After Nirvana

After Nirvana's dissolution, Novoselic formed the band Sweet 75, which was a commercial failure. Later, he joined Jello Biafra and former Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil in the No WTO Combo. He was the bassist for the super-group band Eyes Adrift, which also included former Meat Puppets frontman Curt Kirkwood and former Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars drummer Bud Gaugh. After dismal sales of their self-titled debut, the trio disbanded in 2003.

Novoselic remains active in politics, making appearances to advocate electoral reform (especially instant-runoff voting and proportional representation) and running the website fixour.us. He considered a 2004 run for Lieutenant Governor of Washington (as a Democrat, challenging an incumbent of the same party), but ultimately decided against it. He recently got married. His first book, Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy, was published in October 2004.
