The Golden Bus DIY Album Factory: A mobile recording studio/album manufacturing facility will be installed in a converted ex-transit bus, and will be brought to a local high school. Participating youth will record music and be coached through the process of taking a band from its creation through all the first steps of producing, manufacturing and promoting an album. The goal is to tear down preconceptions about how hard it is to form a band, get shows and make records. This project will provide outreach and support to youth artists, demonstrating what they can create in small alternative spaces with small budgets. We are looking for $7000-$8500 to cover project coordination and materials.
