A statue of Bam Bam singer Tina Bell in planning to be permanently displayed on Broadway

Help us to honor one of Seattle's most celebrated and influential daughters.

"The M. Rosetta Hunter Gallery and Seattle Central College will continue to celebrate the legacy of Tina Bell in the coming years. We are planning a small mural in the EDIC office, a larger exterior mural, and finally we are in the early stages of planning a statue of her on the south lawn across the street from the Jimi Hendrix statue on Broadway".

'Tina Bell - The story of grunge's forgotten first lady".'

Rock star, interrupted: the unsung story of grunge pioneer Tina Bell and Bam Bam. By Polly Glass, Classic Rock Magazine. Sept 2022, online version Oct 19 2022.

"The story of Seattle grunge forerunners Bam Bam, fronted by the incendiary Tina Bell, is one of the most compelling – and criminally overlooked – in rock’n’roll. Ten years after Bell’s tragic death, we find out where it all first went right – and then wrong". 

The interview we did with Britain's Classic Rock Magazine is online now. The full piece was printed in Classic Rock Magazine's Sept 2022 issue.
