Ex-Nirvana drummer Chad Channing is almost finished writing the second album for his current band Before Cars. He is planning to release the new album in late 2011 or early 2012. In addition, Chad’s not ruling out the idea of reuniting musically with former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic."I'm hoping to get into the studio by late summer or early fall. It's going to be a lot different than the first one [2008's 'Walk Back'] I did, which was kind of like a personal anthology – it had songs I had written before Nirvana, during Nirvana, after Nirvana, and up until the record was done. This is just all new stuff. It's got a lot influence from Seventies singer-songwriter type of stuff. It's kind of like a mix between David Bowie meets Gordon Lightfoot."
Chad Channing's former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic recently appeared on a recording by another Nirvana drummer-turned-frontman: Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters song I Should Have Known. No wonder fans are fantasizing about a Channing-Novoselic reunion. Chad confirms he'd consider working with Krist Novoselic again:
"I don't talk to Krist very often, but we have spoken a couple of times within the past year. I would definitely entertain the idea of working with him if the opportunity should arise. Definitely."
