Re: Practice Rooms in Aucks
Not moved, but no longer a practice studio with Nick running it - being rented out to the production company for spartacus, all the sounds done there I believe.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

nah we're being nice to the worship guitarists because we're nice. I've never used a church font as a beer cooler either.

Surprised you'd piss on something that's not a guitar.

Re: Practice Rooms in Aucks
My old punk band (c '79) used to practice and once in a while gig at a church out west. Probably made a significant contribution to the woeful rules and restrictions around worship bands of today. Sorry guys.

Re: Practice Rooms in Aucks
Do the rock factory still run practice rooms? I played in a band that practiced in the killing rooms a few years back, good PAs, big rooms, plenty of parking. A+ would trade again.

Re: Practice Rooms in Aucks
Arch Hill Studios, on Great North Road, just across from Bond Street. John McDermott has the full backline, spare guitar amp, and recording facilities. It is smaller than the Killing Room, but has a higher ceiling. I practised there many times and it was good. Phone John on 0212097464.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

We don't do fonts, but we do have a baptismal pool.

Why, are baptismal fonts like comic sans? We don't like that around here either

Re: Practice Rooms in Aucks
these are the places i usually use, although there are lots more if you look/ask around....
The Bassment Rehearsal Rooms - Takapuna (def my pref option. its local for me, rooms are good size, decent PA's, easy loading, lots of parking, good price)
The Killing Room - Kingsland (I used to practice at the old Killing Rooms in Chinamans Hill. I havent used the new location but if George is still running it you'll be in good hands!)
Stage Sound - Glenfield (Single room. Good size. Good location, very easy access, tons of parking. Crapola PA)
More Core Audio - Kelston (Nice room, good PA. Easy access and parking)
The Coda Lounge - New Lynn (Only used once, a while ago...cant remember enough to comment)
Canfly Studios - Henderson (see above)
Creative House - Parnell (ok rooms, crap PA and SERIOUSLY shitty access. load in/out is a bitch, pretty much bugger all parking and a driveway that Satan himself created. Dont expect to leave with your exhaust system if you attempt the driveway)
