Why are bands using Hothouse Rehearsal?  Here’s what they’re telling us.  “The equipment always works”.  “Has the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a rehearsal studio”.  “The staff is super attentive.”  “Best sounding and maintained rehearsal rooms.”  But mostly they say it’s because the “Hothouse cares about the artist and their rehearsal”.  You owe it to your band to come tour the hothouse facility and find out for yourself.
