“Where Music Grows”

Hothouse Rehearsal Studios, 11823 Slauson Ave., Unit 41, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670, USA  562.945.1300

Thursday night all of us at the studio were witness to an incredible concert rehearsal in studio 1 “the auditorium”.  We had the privileged of hosting tour rehearsals for 80’s powerhouses: When in Rome, Real Life (just in from Australia) and The Escape Club.  

The Escape Club performed their number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart “Wild, Wild West” then fresh in from Melbourne, Australia  Real Life breaks into an incredible version of “Send Me an Angel” then our good friend Rob Juarez and When in Rome started playing “The Promise” their monster single from their self-titled debut album. “The Promise” was an instant success, barely missing the Top Ten in the United States, peaking at #11.

The Lost 80’s Live show with When in Rome, Real Life, The Escape Club, The Motels, Animotion, A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama and Gene Loves Jezebel just performed this weekend to sold out shows at the Mandalay Bay Hotel (The Beach) in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The reviews of the show are awesome.

We thank two of our oldest and dearest friends, John Easdale of Dramarama and Johnny Vatos of Oingo Boingo for recommending us to their friends.

It seems recently when I’m talking with the guys and gals that rehearse here at Hothouse Studios they’ve been talking about how to get an endorsement deal.

Well, I did a little research and spoke with a few manufacturer’s rep’s and wrote a new article for the Band Toolbox.  I think you’ll find some ideas that you can build on as you work toward achieving your first endorsement deal.

Whether your band has had no gigs or one hundred, making the decision to record an album is an incredibly big and important step.  Bands cannot book good gigs without a demo of some sort at the very least and the best way to get your fans to come see you again is with the constant reminder that only your CD playing in their car can do. 

When the decision to record is made by a band, there needs to be a timeline put in place for recording and a lot of work needs to go into making sure that when you get to the recording studio you can be as efficient as possible.  By doing your homework ahead of time, you can save yourself quite a bit of money once you get into the studio.

You may wonder what a technical rehearsal is all about. Well this very important step in being prepared for a live gig can save your sanity and boast your performance.

Many bands skip Technical Rehearsals and just wing it when it comes to making sure their performance goes off without a hitch.  Often enough, there is down time during sets that come at the price of truly keeping the crowd engaged. When practicing in your rehearsal studio, making sure every transition is seamless is what a Technical Rehearsal is all about.

Learn more about Technical Rehearsals here in the Band Toolbox.

Quantum Wave brought the kids tonight! Five of their offspring (ages 9 – 14) have been practicing at home for some time. Tonight they came and sang and played at the Hothouse for the first time and they did very well. I think this must have been the youngest drummer I’ve seen here (age 9), he told me he’s been playing since he was 6.  Rock on!

I talked to Charles (Spanglish) for a while tonight. He has this audio job that sends him to Kuwait for a few weeks and then back here for a few weeks alternating back and forth so this is where he’s been.

Kokoro bought us a small pizza tonight for our efforts we do for them.

Ride on!

Southern California metal outfit Antagonist has completed work on their new album and has announced “World In Decline” as its title. The band recorded at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange, CA with producer Paul Miner (Terror, Thrice, Throwdown). Antagonist released “Exist,” their Prosthetic Records debut in 2008, and had two previous full-lengths and several EPs.

Singer/guitarist Carlos Garcia commented on the forthcoming album: “We’ve just wrapped up the making of our new album with Paul Miner. We’re super stoked on the finished product, and we hope everyone will feel the same! Paul was amazing to work with, he was very encouraging and super patient with us, and we’re eternally grateful for that. And of course, he knows his way around the console. This is honestly the first album we’ve done that is an accurate representation of Antagonist’s live sound, and it definitely showcases a more refined, aggressive sound. We’re taking it back to the old school!”

Garcia also commented on the overall sound of “World In Decline”: “‘Exist’ had a hopeful message of working together as humans towards a better future. The new album is about the realization that things will always be fucked up, people will always be selfish, and this world is going to end at any minute, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. People grow older and figure out that life doesn’t get any easier and that our own selfishness, carelessness, and ignorance are at the core of our demise. So right now, that’s where our heads are at, which will in turn no doubt lead to a much more aggressive and angry album.”

Hothouse Studios is stoked to be part of the Antagonist family and we’ve been privy to the “World In Decline” preproduction music for a few months now and “World In Decline” is going be one of your favorite albums of 2010!

Our good friends in the band Starving for Gravity were interviewed by Performer Magazine last night in studio one (the auditorium) here at Hothouse Rehearsal Studios.  The interview was fantastic.  Part live performance (which they rocked) and part sit around and talk about their new album and the future of the music industry and how they fit into it.  Look for the in depth interview coming soon.  

One of Music Connections “Hottest 100 Artists” Starving for Gravity recently performed live at the Covenant House, a Hollywood, CA, facility that serves homeless and at-risk youths.  It was the first live performance ever held there in a room created via a substantial donation from Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx.  The premiere event was attended by many of the residents and staff of the Covenant House.  Starving for Gravity not only entertained the group for almost two hours, they answered questions and allowed a couple kids to play along with them.

 Great job guys!
