August 28 [10:00 EDT] -- Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic is back, with the debut album from his post-Nirvana band, Sweet 75.

For the effort, Novoselic teams with Venezuelan singer and onetime street musician Yva Las Vegas, who Novoselic first met at a birthday party where she was singing. Novoselic was so taken with her Latin folk songs that the two began writing together.

"It just kind of happened," Novoselic told MTV News.

"We rehearsed like 40 hours a day, for like three years," Las Vegas explained.

"For like three years we were compelled and committed, just for the sake of music," Novoselic added. "It was just something to do, and it was a lot of fun. Just for some wild reason I started playing 12-string electric guitar, and Yva, she was playing guitar, but she switched to bass..."

"Which I love," Las Vegas interjected.

Sweet 75 launches a U.S. tour, with L7 opening most dates, next Sunday in Boise, Idaho.
