In 1999, Hopeless Records imprint Sub City was created in order to raise funds and awareness for non-profit causes through music. With a roster that has included Against All Authority, The Weakerthans, and Thrice, Sub City has released over thirty albums in eight years, created the annual Take Action Tour, and now reached $1 million in its fundraising efforts.
To celebrate this momentous achievement, the label will hold a concert featuring Amber Pacific, The Brought Low, and students from Project MuszEd on August 26th, 2007 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. The evening’s proceeds will be donated to Project MuszEd, a non-profit organization that supports inner-city kids with a talent in music. The group’s goal is to give the kids access to post-high-school education and training that they could not afford on their own.
In a partnership with Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Sub City’s donations will help Project MuszEd students pursue their dreams of attending the esteemed institution.
