BUS BASH PERFORMER REVEAL! Hollow Daze is the product of a lead vocalist who can’t stand the spotlight, a bassist who’s only been playing bass for a year, a pianist with a nonexistent attention span, a drummer who can’t match pitch, and a life long love for music shared between all four of them.

Best described as “A stick of dynamite sent to outer space”, Hollow Daze combines danceable guitar riffs and wicked distortion with ethereal melancholic synths and vocals that convey a longing for connection and to understand one's place in the world.

Can you give us 6 or 7 dollars a month?🥺 you'll be a critical source of support for our most important programs like our esteemed summer fellowship, the newly expanded bus underground, and our statewide campus voter project! head to bit.ly/BUS6767 to participate in our 67 monthly donor challenge!

BUS BASH PERFORMER REVEAL! Hot Stepmom is an indie-alternative band based out of Tacoma, formed in July 2021. The band’s current lineup consists of Anna Norris (Guitar, Vocals), Jarin Szewczyk (Bass), Benjamin Babcock (Drums), and Justin Middleton (Guitar).

Hot Stepmom released their debut album: “The Serial Killer in the Other Room is Better Than You,” in October of 2022, their EP: “Nothing to Nowhere” in March of 2024, and are preparing for the release of their sophomore album: “Good Enough, Go!” in the fall of 2026.

Midnight Parkway is a pop punk trio with an alt-pop heartbeat—combining big hooks, powerful vocals, and late-night emotion. Blending nostalgic influences with modern energy, their music is built for windows-down drives and volume turned all the way up—a soundtrack for growing up without growing old.

ORGANIZER IN RESIDENCE—Lac Tran is a young leader from White Center who is building youth power across Washington State. He's been a lobbyist, an organizer, a club leader, and a community builder.

We have no priority deadline for this application, it will close as positions are filled. We encourage candidates to apply as early as possible, positions are limited. If you have any questions about the position or the application process, contact edgar@washingtonbus.org.

BUS JOB ALERT! The Washington Bus is seeking a creative and collaborative Digital Organizing Intern to join our incredible team of powerful narrative organizers—who are driving our youth agenda forward by changing hearts and minds through digital tactics.
