Band in a Bubble on Pier 54

A 2,000 square foot bubble is being built to contain Epic recording artists Cartel, a five-member Atlanta-based band. They will be sealed in the bubble from May 24 to June 12 to record the follow-up to their breakthrough debut album, CHROMA.

The bubble will contain 23 web cams which can be viewed at www.drpepperbubble.com once the site is active.

The structure is designed to be portable, so look for the bubble coming to a location near you.

A specially airlock located on the right front side of the bubble will allow fans and special guests to interact with the band while they are in the bubble and will also serve as the main entrance. Additionally, the expansive 24-foot by 15-foot semi-circular front window will provide a transparent view of the bubble at all times so fans on-site can view Cartel in the bubble round the clock. The window is equipped with a clever two-way speaker and sliding bank teller box so that visitors can chat with the band members or deliver special treats.” says a spokesperson for Dr. Pepper.
