The co-founders first met, when Ariel De Lion offered Brent Wellington Barker III a radio show to cover Occupy Wall St. 'Anarchy NYC.' Brent was living and acting at the Living Theatre on 21 Clinton St, and Ariel was residing in Bushwick and running the radio station on 177 Ludlow Street, 'LES.FM'. Right after occupy wall st. Ariel's landlord sold the building, and The Living Theatre got evicted, and the Lower East Side changed dramatically in a very short period. The ship had to move east to Bushwick. Assembled by characters from The Living Theatre, Ludlow Studio, and LES.FM, Music Wagon HQ was founded at Ariel's warehouse in Bushwick, on 347 Maujer St, in front of the second iteration of the House of Yes.
4,000 open SF on two floors converted to 8 bedrooms, jam session in the basement, events planning offices of Mr. Bugsly Presents at the front and the infamous Blue Music Wagon Bus outside. 9 actors from the Living theatre moved in; one room granted to the Rainbow gathering community and one place to New Orleans's coffee shop Amsterdam residency, by Dank Bliss and his Gangsta Latte. Music Wagon bands, dancers, and artists toured the northeast and produced since 2012 multiple events, after hours, operated an Art Car and managed several collective lofts and event spaces in Bushwick.
