The drummer's house is usually the safest bet.

yeah i've had the same problem... we just play it by ear.. I used to practice in the music conservatory here at school... but the folks over in the music department didn't like that idea much... and theres something Illegal about it... that you can't be a group that makes money in order to practice there...

So you guys play every single night, wow! I wish we were that dedicated.

 

[steve-o]

lol..yeah..we try...maybe 5 times to 6 a week..then a show or two on the weekend...

its crazy

If you are looking to rent a place, I found the best way to go is to find either a storage space or go to an industrial section of town where there are a bunch of warehouses. My rehearsal space is in a row of warehouses and the person to the right of me is an appliance repair man and the business on my left is a tree service(so they are never there) and the rest of the complex is mostly auto repair places. None of these people mind the music because they make as much noise as I do. Also, it wasn't anymore expensive than renting a space at one of these places that has 20 rooms to rent out to bands.

If the above is not available, a (rental?)house near a heavy traffic or commercial area, or "non-conforming" residential home of some sort, where it's isolated, and you can behave like a band there at any volume, and hour you want.

When we rented band houses in quiet Ann Arbor, MI, we always looked for the worst locations because: 1) Rent was usually less and, 2) Few if any restrictions on our rehearsal schedule.
