And here we are

After much drywalling, joint-compounding, sanding, sweeping, mopping and painting - we've arrived at the (almost) finished studio. Sorry about the complete lack of "in progress" photos. Just close your eyes and picture a handful of underqualified people, drinking beers, listening to Warren G and Van Halen based Pandora stations, while drywalling over perfectly functional doors.

the studio: what it was

Let's play catch up...

April 2009.

Faced with the prospect of renting a finished, secure, and heated practice space - Mariage Blanc decides instead to rent a dilapidated storage space above an abandoned bar in a questionable neighborhood and build a recording studio inside it. A construction task of this magnitude could prove impossible for other bands. Thankfully, Mariage Blanc is used to taking on challenges they are not qualified for.

Note: Moving 1200 lbs of drywall with a 2000 Subaru Outback and a small, U-Haul trailer is neither safe nor recommended.
