First up we have “Ground Zero” by Bam Bam (https://tinyurl.com/3yavfyfs) / No Strobe: (https://tinyurl.com/5n8ayy3z). Founded and led by Tina Bell AKA “The Godmother of Grunge”. Bam Bam was formed in the early 80s. Tina Bell quit music in 1990 to work in community activism. Infuriatingly, all of her recordings & ephemera from her music career were lost after her 2012 passing w/o her family being notified 🤬

I first heard of #TinaBell and #BamBam a few years ago. Ever since then, I've been pleased to find that she appears on my radar at least on semi-regular basis. What we're talking here is #music genre formation,.the '80s, the '90s, #grunge, #BlackErasure, rediscovering #art, awareness that what is known is not all there is or was.

Read the article and give Tina Bell a listen. She's another one we lost too soon. 🙏💙

Tina's love of music kept her going in spite of the racism and misogyny trying to stop her from success. Her musical contributions were recognised after her death.
