In conjunction with Mr. Smalls Funhouse Recording Studio we continue to offer financing packages to qualifying bands and artists to assist with their recording projects. It is unprecedented for any recording studio to offer these kinds of packages, with minimal up-front investment and very deal-able monthly payments. But that's our mission.
