In the spring of 1991, Eistrup, Tunebjerg and Techau formed a heavy blues band under the name "Nirvana" at Kastanievej Efterskole , a continuation school, in Frederiksberg , Denmark. Shortly after they started performing Thursday nights at Ordrup Gymnasium , a local high school. [ citation needed ]
