Many people are familiar with Seattle’s iconic grunge music scene pioneered by local bands such as Malfunkshun and March of Crimes. People may not know, however, that many other accomplished bands have emerged from Bainbridge Island. Diverse in style, they all share an intrepid DIY approach. Multi-talented and hard-working, the teens compose and produce their own music, book and manage concerts on and off the island, design band graphics and write fanzines.
“Fearless Music” explores nearly four decades (1980 – 2018) of a vibrant, independent teen music scene on Bainbridge Island. During this time, the Island has been a breeding ground for creative, curious and resourceful youth whose music has influenced and also reflects regional and national sounds.Photo: Maurice’s Little Bastards courtesy Bainbridge Island Historical Museum
