Kurt Cobain

Airbnb is renting out Kurt Cobain’s former Los Angeles apartment

As the new documentary about Kurt Cobain, named Montage of Heck, promised to bring an incredibly and unprecedented look in his life through unreleased home videos and demos, fans can get an even deeper look into Cobain’s life by renting his former SoCal apartment. The apartment is currently being rented through Airbnb. 

The apartment is located in the Melrose/Fairfax area in Los Angeles and is a one-bedroom place which was apparently the living space for Conain and Courtney Love between 1991 and 1992. 

The owner Brandon writes: “At the time, Kurt was focused on song writing and his artwork, much of which was created in the apartment. He was particularly into painting during this time and even decorated the walls in the living room and bedroom. His favorite spot in the house: the bathtub. In it, he wrote the song ‘Heart-Shaped Box.’”

The cost to stay at the apartment is $150/night, $798/week and $3800/month. Look at the current pictures of the space below and go here for more information.

Watch the trailer for Kurt Cobain documentary “Montage of Heck”

The authorized Kurt Cobain documentary, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, will air on HBO on May 4. According to the Playlist, the first official trailer for the film is out which can be watched below. 

Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, is one of the executive producers of the film. The documentary will have, according to the press release, “dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as previously unheard Cobain originals,” as well as “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.”

The Hollywood Reporter says that the documentary will feature a 12-minute unreleased acoustic song by Cobain. 

First authorized Kurt Cobain documentary to air on HBO

The first “fully authorized” documentary of the late Nirvana frontman will air on HBO.

Montage of Heck is set to premiere on HBO next year. The documentary is directed by Brett Morgen and is billed as the first “fully authorized” documentary about Kurt Cobain’s life. It was made with the help of his family, and his daughter, Frances Bean who served as an executive producer.

The documentary has “dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as perviously unheard Cobain originals, 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,” according to a press release. Morgen says:

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.

Montage of Heck is named after a mixtape Cobain made in 1988; it surfaced earlier this year.
