BANDSPACE
DESCRIPTION
A modern industrial layout engineered specifically to house multiple loud musical projects simultaneously. An independent music studio complex that has evolved from a small three-room practice space into a larger creative facility. Offering air conditioned and acoustically designed rehearsal rooms, its standard room accommodates a band with up to six members. A highlight of the studio is its dedicated performance space complete with a raised stage, lighting rig and special effects used to produce live multi-camera video showreels for solo artists, function acts and touring bands. Musicians praise the spaces for being spacious, clean and meticulously treated to isolate frequencies, allowing for highly productive practices. Local covers, rock and tribute bands treat the studio as a main base, frequently using it to recruit new members. The unit features a completely flat, wheelchair-accessible entrance. The exterior includes wide dedicated parking bays and an open loading layout, allowing musicians to roll heavy gear directly from vehicle trunks into the rooms without navigating stairs.

The facility is also regularly hired out by independent session musicians, local music educators and regional rock groups preparing for shows.
