On March 9, 2014, at a benefit for FairVote in Takoma Park, Maryland, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic picked up an accordion and performed an instrumental cover of “Royals” by Lorde. You can watch the video below. Novoselic has been board chairman of FairVote since 2008, and is among our list of famously politically active punk rockers.

Novoselic has a reputation as being a very good accordion player — he played during Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged session way back in 1993 for “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam,” and once again played the same song with The Vaselines in 2012 — click here to see the video.
