Photos from Nirvana's first-ever gig in 1987 emerge online
Pictures of Nirvana's first show ever, at a house in Raymond, Washington, in March 1987, have emerged online after the daughter of Tony Poukkula, a Seattle Musician, Tweeted them.
Maggie Poukkula posted the images, taken at the venue (the elder Poukkula's house), with apparent nonchalance:
