Krist Novoselic argues that Cascade doesn’t fit Democratic or Republican ideals
Krist Novoselicformer band member Nirvanaannounced the launch of a new political party called Shell of.
In an interview with KOMO-TV, explained that the party does not fall within the democratic and republican ideologies. “It’s not just a conventional party. We’re trying to do something different, we’re trying to be seminal, we’re trying to blaze a new trail.”
He also said the band, which broke up 30 years ago, reflects the goals of his new party. Novoselic underlined that he intends to organize conferences. He also created a new band, Bona Fide.
“We need a thousand valid signatures to qualify as a party, so these shows are real political conventions, but there will be almost no speeches from the stage. We’re not going to go up there and shock people with a bunch of I mean, sign the petition if you want to see a new party in Washington State,” he stressed.
In the United States, a political party is only valid if it has a presidential candidate, but the musician explained that this is not Cascade’s goal. “The rules say we have to have a presidential ticket, but we are determined not to be on the ballot in 2024, and if that goes forward, we have everything lined up because there is no statutory authority for that rule.”
The first performance of Bona Fide took place last Thursday the 20th in Seattle. The group performed in Aberdeen on Saturday as part of the festival Organize Music Day. In addition to Novoselic, the band also includes Mark Pickerel, Kathy Moore, Jennifer Johnson and Jillian Raye.
