This website is dedicated to the legendary musician and political reformist Krist Novoselic. The purpose of the website is to provide fans with a wealth of information relating not only to Krist’s musical career, but also his political and personal endeavors. We’re bringing the site up to date with Krist’s activities. Last updated October 2026.

Born Krist Anthony Novoselic on May 16, 1965 to Krist and Maria Novoselic, Krist began his life in Compton, CA. When he was 14, Krist, his parents and two siblings moved to Aberdeen, WA. It was here that Krist would meet Kurt Cobain and begin one of the most influential bands of the 20th Century, Nirvana. On September 24, 1991, the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind solidified Krist’s position in the history of Rock and Roll.

Since Kurt Cobain’s death in April 1994, Krist has played in a long list of bands. His first band after Nirvana, Sweet 75, is considered a commercial failure due to the lack of publicity the band received. Sweet 75 was made up of Krist on guitar, Yva Las Vegas on bass and Adam Wade on drums. Sweet 75 broke up in the summer of 2000.

In late 2001, Krist teamed up with fellow musicians Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets) and Bud Gaugh (Sublime) to form Eyes Adrift. Eyes Adrift released their first and only album on September 24, 2002 to much praise. After a lengthy tour, the album was considered a commercial failure and the band soon broke up.

More recently, Krist has been known for his political endeavors. In 1995 he founded JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee) to lobby against a Seattle bill that would make it easier to censor music. Currently, Krist has been advocating voting reform by supporting initiatives such as Instant Runoff Voting and Proportional Representation.
