So where does everybody practice? My band has been looking for a new space forever. Rent is going up there sometime in the summer and we're definently not about to shell out a cent more to this place. I'd like to find some place on the south shore, or in "Boston". So let me in on the secret, where's everybody practice?

and thanks, but no thanks to Priority. Fool me once, shame on you.... etc.

I practice at the Music Mill in Chelmsford, MA. Place is a pain in my ass. We pay $290.00 a month for a 15.5x12.5 space which is fine but security and rules are RIDICULOUS! I atleast know that no one will be able to steal any of my band's shit because they need a key and a key pad number. Yeah it's that's secure.

haha we pay almost $375 a month for a space probably the same size, but with no security, a bunch of rules that no one ever enforces, and I'm pretty sure the guy that runs it comes in our room when we're not there and messes with our stuff in a Robert Goulette-esque romp.

Seriously, there's a kid who more or less lives there. He's there every single time I go there no matter when it is. I looked in his space and saw a bed in there. He sits in his room and smokes up with the door open, and at the same time has the nerve to come outside and tell me to stop throwing rocks at an inanimate parking cone.

Priorities in a new buidling and all the rooms are new, I know you said you weren't interested, but rent is only about 250 in most of the rooms there.

We practice in Manchester, NH at Morgan Storage. Sounds like the Music Mill with the security and such -- we have swipe cards. It's expensive -- our room is pretty big, but we pay about $400 to $450 a month. We split it between 2 bands and 2 or 3 other guys, so the price per person is not that bad.

Also, there's no store in there, so luke's never there.

That's one thing I'll never make fun of Rosco for. That attic was fucked up.

Luke used to fuck with the kids that rented that attic, and then giggle about it behind their backs. Did he ever pull the "watch these salt shakers, the ghosts move them" and then sneak up the back way and move the salt shakers trick on you?

Framingham is nice.

Haha, that's pretty funny, but the few times I went up in the attic were years before it was converted into a practice space. I used to see things moving around up there in the dark that totally shouldn't have been there. It's a long lonnnnng story.

It might be a little bit out of the way, but how much are the rooms?

NooseBomb/Abhored/Slugpuncher practices in Charlestown at that Charlestown self storage place (I forget the actual name, but it's that building). The whole 3rd floor is practice spaces. Pretty big fucking room (enough for 2 bands), lots of parking, it's right off the sullivan sq. rotary, huge freight elevator, electronic keycard/traditional keys. all rooms have individual AC's. $330 a month.

I think only half the 3rd floor had practice rooms before, but they just finished construction on the other half a couple months ago. The rooms are brand new.

Oh yeah it's open 24 hours a day too. It's on Terminal St. right on the water next to those huge fucking silos.

Most of the rooms in Framingham are $400. They're all a good size. There are a few metal bands in the building too.
