Ongoing History Daily: Pearl Jam HQ

Pearl Jam is a band that has always done things their way.  Everything they do–from their management offices to their fan club to their charity to their rehearsal space–is run out of a former factory building off the interstate in suburban Seattle.

It doesn’t look like much–just a run-down-looking orange and green building with the words Audio Visual Factory on stenciled on the front door.  As you might guess, there’s a lot of cool stuff within these walls.  For example, Eddie Vedder was close friends with the late Johnny Ramone.  He gave the band a giant Ramones backdrop, which is proudly hung on one wall.  And for some reason, a suit once worn by Sammy Davis Jr is displayed in a frame in one of the offices.

Hey, they’re Pearl Jam.  They can do what they want.
