Where Are All The Practice Rooms?:

[dragonorchid]

We practice at the Killingroom... it's a good space with good gear.

They're also MySpazzable.... http://www.myspace.com/thekillingroom

We can definately vouch for Canfly , they are realy good people to deal with and will acomidate your needs if at all possible, and their rates are TOTALY reasonable and the gear is at least kept in good working order, not like some others on that list I cant mention.

Must have changed since the last time I practiced there. Granted it was about 2 years ago. The acoustics in the room on the extreme left as you walk in the door was like playing inside a concrete water tank. Try and get the middle or right room if you book. Also, Floss doesn't have anything to do with it anymore.

[simon_ishtar]

Left room is very 'Dead' sounding, the others are much more live.  personally I prefer the middle room- have to say it would have to be one of the bigger rooms I've practiced in too. bigger than the big room at intergalactic in any case.
Floss still manages the place in the mornings but sold the killing room to George a while back.  

[simon_ishtar]

Also not to mention they use Mel's mic of choice the SM57 in the middle room.

[bluesgeek]

Killing Room's ok, used to practice there but we use Clockwork now - great place and nice big room.  Best points are that its within easy staggering distance from where I live and the Cock and Bull is in between

I've just updated the first post in this topic... hopefully all the contact details are up to date. If you find any of them are incorrect or out of date - please let me know :-)
