Biography
The Melvins recruited Crover on drums in 1984 from out of an Iron Maiden-cover band, following (original drummer) Mike Dillard's departure. In late 1985 Crover played drums in Fecal Matter, a band he formed with Kurt Cobain and Greg Hokanson. After Hokanson left the band, Cobain and Crover recorded Illiteracy Will Prevail on a 4-track in December 1985 at Cobain's aunt's home in Seattle, Washington. Crover played bass and drums on the demo. Fecal Matter disbanded in 1986.
Crover drummed on Nirvana's ten-song demo recorded January 23, 1988 at Reciprocal Recording Studios in Seattle. All of these songs have been released:
"Floyd the Barber", "Paper Cuts" and "Downer" � Bleach "Downer", "Aero Zeppelin", "Beeswax", "Hairspray Queen" and "Mexican Seafood" � Incesticide "Spank Thru","If You Must" and "Pen Cap Chew" � With the Lights Out
Nirvana and Crover played a 14-song show in Tacoma, Washington, the night of the demo session. Three cuts from the show � "Downer", "Floyd the Barber" and "Raunchola/Moby Dick" � appear on With the Lights Out. Later in 1988 Crover and Melvins' bandmate Buzz Osborne relocated to San Francisco, California.
Crover rejoined Nirvana during a short west coast tour with Sonic Youth in 1990[6]. Later that year Crover drummed on a demo version of "Drain You" with Cobain on guitar and vocals and Dave Grohl on bass. The track appears on With the Lights Out.
