Welcome to The "Abalone Lounge" / Music Focus rehearsal / training hall!

 

Thank you for choosing our facility to enhance and further your progress.

We commit to bringing you a working, clean, private facility.

 

 

Try to leave it cleaner than when you came

NO GUM CHEWING ALLOWED HERE !!!

.

Ok, yes, one time someone left a little vial of "spirit gum" here.
Know what "spirit gum" is used for ? Yes, it's used to put on fake
mustaches and beards in Broadway musicals, and worse... Iiiiick !
Now, beer, even whisky, I can get my head around, but "spirit gum", come on people ! !

How to Book:

If you BOOK, it's assumed you've read the rules!!!!

After you've checked the availability of a time -
  • Please check with your people before calling or e-mailing. You must call 310-379-4454 or email:

    I do ALL booking on the computer, so it makes sense to use e-mail!

    To actually book: If you use e-mail to book, you MUST include your real name and best phone number(s), as well as your schedule plans in the body of your e-mail. Send no attachments - PLEASE. We take your requests in the order received. Tell me 'who you are' if you think I might not remember...
    Try to stick to "whole" hour times (not 4:25-6:05 say!!)
        • There are other bands always wanting to book. Respect, respect, r-e-s-p-e-c-t
          the times shown. Get in and out ON TIME.
          Just because YOU started late DOES NOT mean
          you get to go OVERTIME into someone else's slot...
          This is REGARDLESS of how 'badly' you need to rehearse.
          If you do this type of bullying, you will NOT be welcome back...
          We WILL find out about it, believe it!
          You NEED to be ON TIME on your exit! Actually, planning on your "exit" time is
          part of playing a real gig too, people. Clubs and showcases require you to watch your time.
          Think of your rehearsal like that, like a little showcase... Sound good?
           
          This schedule "may" not reflect schedule items
          that have yet to be posted or updated.
          Please be patient and/or book reasonably far ahead...
           
          Managers and/or record companies: Currently we offer no
          "special account" for you.
          All bands must pay as they play. Thank you!
            ATTENTION!
            There is now a 4 day "lock down" confirmation time zone.
            Don't book, then cancel on a whim.
            Booking is a commitment, not a flimsy "hope."
            If you HAVE to cancel, CALL 4 days before your scheduled appointment!!!!
            310-379-4454
            Otherwise - it is assumed you are coming, and/or paying for your time.
            If you'd like to inform us that you absolutely cannot come, that's fine.
            But please realize you're still required to pay.
            Practice saying, "We can't come, but we know we still have to pay!"
            EMERGENCY cancellations will require a medical excuse.
              Alcho-vomit, "had to work", "had KISS tickets",
              "broke my teeth on Dirk Nowitzki's elbow" (ok, well, that MIGHT count as an excuse...), "couldn't get a ride",
              "girlfriend's birthday", "sorry, I spaced", had homework, etc. are NOT excuses.
            .
            Make SURE with ALL your people, that you ARE coming! THANK YOU!!!
            No chewing the gum allowed here... !

           

  • To check your "$" status:

    • You can check on your band's "paid" status by just looking at the calendar listing. If there is a ">" after the booking, your "account" is clear, you probably paid in advance. If you still "owe" for your rehearsal - there will be an unchecked [] box after your name. [] = "unpaid balance".
    • You may also "pay it forward" and have the ">" show up on a future booking... And that's a GOOD thing... checks will need to clear before a full paid status is shown...
    • Please do NOT let unpaid balances linger...
