"Here She Comes Now"/"Venus in Furs" is a split single by American rock bands Nirvana and Melvins. It was released in June 1991 by The Communion Label.
The single features covers of two Velvet Underground songs: "Here She Comes Now" by Nirvana, and "Venus in Furs" by the Melvins. It was reportedly limited to 1000 copies, and available in an unknown number of colors believed to be as high as 20. It was re-released posthumously by DGC on the Nirvana box set, With the Lights Out, in November 2004, and on the 20th anniversary edition of Nevermind in September 2011.
"Here She Comes Now" occasionally appeared in the band's live set list in 1990 and 1991. A second studio version was recorded during a live, acoustic radio session in Hilversum, Netherlands on November 25, 1991. The session, which also includes a version of the American folk song "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and two original songs, was recorded for the Dutch stations VPRO and VARA. This version of the song appears on numerous bootlegs, but remains officially unreleased.
