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

This coming Tuesday February 3, Troy High School in Fullerton, Ca will be holding a Battle of the Bands at Plummer Auditorium in Fullerton, 201 E Chapman Ave Fullerton, CA 92832 (714) 626-3890. The show starts at 6:30pm is an all ages event and the ticket cost is $10 at door. Special performance by Dramarama.

Dramarama will be judging the contest as well as playing a few tunes.
Hothouse Studios is sponsoring the prizes for the event.

First Place Prize: Music video of the band.
First Runner Up: Audio recording.
Second Runner Up: 2 free hours of rehearsal time at Hothouse Studios in Santa Fe Springs, Ca.

All proceeds benefit the Troy Special Ed. Department. Troy High School is the alma mater of Social Distortion and what great group will emerge from this years Battle of the Bands is anyone’s guess. Come on down to the show and take a look for yourself.

Why is Hothouse sponsoring a high school event? First, Hothouse Rehearsal Studios supports education for our young people and especially the great work being done at Troy. Secondly, Hothouse Studios was established to help our local talent achieve their goals.

Troy High is well known for being one of the top 30 High Schools in the country, as well as having the #1 computer science program in the world, yes, the world. What is less known is that Troy has a stellar, absolutely second-to-none Special Education Department. The teachers, staff, and administrators not only do what they can to help make high school the rewarding academic experience it should be, but they also give an enormous amount of their hearts and time to help give the students in the Special Ed program many social and recreational opportunities–dances, parties, camping trips, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, trips to San Diego things that typical high school kids take for granted.

In the past, the department was able to raise their own funds to pay for these adventures so that there was zero or minimal cost to students–many of whom are in foster care or group homes and would otherwise be unable to attend–but the rules have changed and they are no longer able to raise these funds themselves. The Troy ASB has graciously agreed to give the proceeds from the Battle of the Bands to the Special ED Dept.

If you are at all able, please come out and give your support.

Hi Richard Morales with Hothouse Rehearsal Studios, here with Gilbert Gonzales lead guitarist for Concert Masters Productions. This is kind of inside joke since well Gilbert how many bands are you in? Three and they all rehearse here at the Hothouse. I know you drive a long way Gilbert and with all the bands you’re in quite frequently, so I think it is apropos you are the $50 Gas Card Winner for July 2008. So here is your gas card and again thank you for being a long time member of the Hothouse Rehearsal Studio Community of Artist. How long have been using the facility Gilbert? Since you opened studios about 4 or 5 years now. Yes, since the beginning.

I still remember the day when Jay Baliton called to book rehearsal studio time and I was introduced to the whole clan. Sammy, Art, Alonzo, Larsen, the other Jay, Noel and on and on and what absolute beautiful human beings you have all been and all of us here at the Hothouse feel blessed by your continued use of our rehearsal studios. Thank You Gilbert.

For Gilbert Gonzales I’m Richard Morales with HothouseStudios.com

BAND BIO: GETTING STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT (PART-1)
The old saying “The more things change, the more they remain the same,” is as true today as it ever was. Even though we see rapid technology developments in the production side of the recording industry, as well as the legal and marketing side (thanks to innovations and new marketing opportunities that abound on the Internet), the “old fashioned” idea of getting down into the trenches and working to promote your own music is more important than ever before; it will always be the foundation that entrepreneurial musicians use to build their success, no matter what technological advances are made in the future.

And one of the very first and foremost necessities in taking those initial successful steps is of course the development of a great bio amplifying your band’s musical caliber. Read the entire article here.
