Watch A Sneak Peek Of The Kurt Cobain Doco In Fascinating Clip

To say the world is getting excited for the release of the official Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck is a gross understatement, especially after the news broke that it will be screened in multiple cinemas around Australia, and to heighten anxious anticipation, a new snippet from the doco has surfaced online.

The brand-spankin’ new video appeared on The Guardian, capturing the special moment from Cobain’s famous diaries where he decided on the name of the band.

The exclusive clip is rather reminiscent of The Devil Of Daniel Johnston, showing an animation of Cobain’s original drawings and potential band names including The Reaganites, Elvis Cooper, Boy In Heat, Fecal Matter and so many more before arriving at the now iconic and untouchable name, Nirvana – check it out right here:

If this isn’t enough to send you into a Kurt obsession-overload, it has now been revealed which Aussie cinemas will screen the the documentary, even regional towns set to air Montage Of Heck beginning Thursday 7 May.

Montage Of Heck will feature “dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as perviously unheard Cobain originals,” as well a “no-holds-barred access to Kurt Cobain’s archives, home to his never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, journals, demos, personal archives, family archives and songbooks.”

On the creation of the upcoming feature director Brett Morgen commented, “I started work on this project eight years ago. Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth. However, once I stepped into Kurt’s archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media.”
