Grunge Nation brings the flannel-and-feedback sound of early '90s Seattle to the Copa Room, with a band tearing through the catalog of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and the rest of the bands that defined the era. Expect distorted guitars, heavy drums, and the kind of raw, angsty vocal delivery that made grunge feel like a reaction against the polished rock that came before it. The Copa Room's intimate setting puts you close enough to feel the bass in your chest, which suits this kind of music a lot better than a cavernous arena would.

This is a tribute show rather than a club night or DJ set, so if you grew up on these bands or just love the sound of a Marshall stack cranked up loud, it's a chance to hear the songs played live with real instruments and real sweat. The "Under the Radar" vibe fits too, this isn't a splashy Strip production but a smaller, grittier room doing right by a genre that was never about spectacle in the first place.
