Former Nirvana bassist, Krist Novoselic is running for County Clerk of Wahkiakum (wah-KAI’-ah-kum) County in western Washington. Novoselic is running under the “Grange Party” which is a civic organization. He is protesting the state’s system that lets candidates say what party they prefer when running for office. He says that’s confusing for voters and lets candidates appropriate the names of private associations.

I must say that I’m glad Novoselic found something after the untimely demise of Nirvana. I have my doubts that he could have pulled a Dave Grohl and stepped up to the mic to churn out some lasting grunge. Although he did have a stint with the band Eyes Adrift, where he sang lead vocals, which was really the only way he was going to keep from drifting into obscurity. But as we all know guitarists arent’ necessarily singers and since Novoselic played bass that fact is doubly true.
