Secret Spaces: The Bus

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 – running time 07:55

In another spotlight on unusual music venues, XLR8R TV takes you on The Bus, a former Oakland Police command unit, now transformed into a mobile all ages performance space.

In another spotlight on unusual music venues, XLR8R TV introduces you to John Benson and his Bus. John transformed a former Oakland Police street command unit into a veggie-oil/solar powered mobile all ages performance space. Since he bought the Bus, he and his motley crew have put on over 120 shows around the country featuring bands from around the world and have no plans on stopping - despite constant vandalism. This episode includes footage from a Bus show featuring Finnish psych metal genius weirdos, Circle.
