I use TK rehearsal to practice with my jazz band and create music. As an artist with a #1 chart…read moretopping single, I only use facilities and management that are professional. The service spaces are clean and bathrooms are always very well kept by management and clientele. I'm not one to write reviews normally but I felt it was my duty as a client and Patron of the arts to give my own opinion and view considering what I just read about Charles in a few of these one star reviews. Charles is a true professional and a class act. A manager that cares about the clientele, and always goes beyond the call of duty to take care of us. If you want a professional rehearsal space, with a cool vibe that is safe, clean and well priced, TK Rehearsal is the place to be! Thank you Charles and TK Rehearsal for your musical hospitality.

Pay attention to the 1-star reviews, especially those mentioning the manager, Charles…read more Unfortunately, my experience confirmed many of the concerns raised by other reviewers. When I first met Charles, I felt uncomfortable with his demeanor, but I assumed it wouldn't be an issue as long as our interactions remained limited. For years, I was a reliable tenant who paid rent on time, followed the rules, and caused no problems. I treated my studio with the utmost respect, as if it were my home. Because of my initial impressions, I generally avoided interacting with Charles whenever possible. However, that changed a few months ago. After a 16-hour video shoot, while my band and I were loading in our equipment, Charles screamed at me and aggressively confronted my singer, calling her completely untrue and offensive names. He then repeatedly threatened to call 911 while she was waiting for me in the parking lot. What made the situation even more confusing was that he had met her several times before. When I tried to de-escalate the situation and speak with him, he repeatedly told me to "shut up," then continued to scream obscenities, escalating what should have been a routine load-in into a hostile confrontation. Had Charles not been there that night, or had he spoken with us to understand the reality of the situation, there would have been no issue. We would have stored the equipment safely and respectfully, just as we always had throughout my tenancy. Instead, a routine load-in became one of the most unpleasant experiences I have ever had at a rehearsal facility. Shortly after this incident, I was forced to leave with less than 30 days' notice. By that point, I was ready to move on anyway, as I no longer felt comfortable remaining there, especially with Charles as manager. Equally disappointing is the lack of accountability from ownership. If you read many of the reviews, you'll notice a pattern of complaints. The owner's responses to those reviews often come across as dismissive and, at times, condescending toward former and prospective tenants. Rather than acknowledging recurring concerns, the responses seem to reinforce the same unprofessional attitude that many reviewers describe. When multiple tenants raise similar issues, they should be taken seriously. As for the rooms themselves, they have very little sound insulation. You can hear others practicing almost as if they are in the room with you, which can make it difficult to focus depending on the activity around you. The front door lock takes a while to open as the doorknob is janky. For all the years I was a tenant, it wasn't fixed. The facility itself is clean, and I will give them credit for that. However, of the two restrooms available, it appears that only one has been functional for quite some time. In addition, I personally found the area on Vose Street uncomfortable at times. There is a noticeable homeless presence, including tents, carts, and people frequently staying along the street. Depending on your comfort level, this may be a factor when deciding whether this location is the right fit for you. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend renting a studio here. Proceed with caution, especially when dealing with management.

This is my personal go to spot now…read more The Neighborhood Watche is amazing in so many ways. I'd like to start with their professionalism. Nothing is left unsaid. Communication is very clear and they'll deliver whatever it is that you're looking to accomplish. When you book a session through their app, you'll see that it's very easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. Once you pay, the session is locked in and you'll have a parking spot with your name on it waiting for you to show. So So the plug is a great guy and he is a super dope and well connected individual. I worked with Nick White (mixedbywhite) both sessions and he is fast and we got on the same wave lengths immediately. He catered to my needs and delivered excellent quality. It's hard to gel with a new engineer and we didn't have any frustrating or miscommunication moments. In fact, we had fun and that's what this is supposed to be about. There's good energy infused into their walls and they set the bar when it comes to recording. I am from Memphis, the city known for music and I have to say, Neighborhood Watche is just as good as anywhere in the world. Come here if you want a good price and to work with nice and dope people. I prefer to record on Neumann microphones and they have the u87 in most of their rooms. I'll be back soon. Much love

I absolutely love this studio. Great space, great equipment, and wonderful ambiance. Can not beat…read morethe price either.

This place was amazing. I was wondering if it's still standing. I was there in 2018. It has amazing…read morehistory & stories. Legends talented musicians played there.

I've worked in the music industry for 8 years (record labels, been on tour, music magazines... all…read moreof it), have dated famous musicians, and still maintain my friendships and contacts. This all means that I am VERY jaded to the industry and not much, at this point in life, impresses me. So, when something comes along that brightens even my cynical attitude; then it must be something special. That is precisely what the Alley Studios in North Hollywood is and 'special' is an understatement. The Alley Studios is located on the corner of Lankershim/Ostego in the epicenter of the North Hollywood Arts District. From the exterior, one would this is an abandoned building as it is somewhat run-down and there are no apparent windows anywhere. This unsuspecting facade pulls the wool over everyone's eyes as the Alley Studios is basically a legendary facility dripping with music industry history. So what exactly, IS, the Alley Studios? Imagine an incognito basement owned by the coolest punk rocker you know, marry it with a small bar-type intimate performance stage, melt it with a recording studio and creative space, and bake it to perfection with a lounge. The ending result is Alley Studios. When you first walk in from the front (front and back entrances are available), you will see a room to your left with an intimate stage area available for performances or events that transports you to the coolest bar/concert venue in the 70s/80s. Keep walking down the narrow hall to find a lounge-type room with bar and a lovely garden-esque back patio outdoor space. The Alley Studios also has a basement, recording studios, loft etc; available for artists. Basically, this IS the place for public performances or artists wanting to write and record music or just escape the outside world. Which is PRECISELY what happens in the Alley Studios. This spot has housed literally every single musical legend past and present be it recording or just hanging out. You name it and they have been there. Want some examples? The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Alice Cooper, Roseanne Cash, Sister Sledge, Tom Petty... even to Jack White, Fergie, Chili Peppers, etc and so forth. In fact, the back lounge rooms consist of white brick walls that all the artists have signed. The Alley Studios allows you to photograph these walls but signs proclaim that no touching is allowed. Again, I am RARELY impressed but something about the energy is overwhelmingly amazing which is probably because no one would suspect this small, hidden building to have such amazing history. I mean, did you know about this place? I didn't, and I live two minutes WALKING distance from it! I went to the Alley Studios for an album release performance/party and the staff from the door to the bar was very kind. No one was stuck-up and snooty which is the usual for Hollywood/LA venues and recording studios and even the staff seemed grateful to be involved with the facility. They happily explained the venue history and pointed out the big names on the brick walls. For those interested in the paranormal, the Alley Studios is supposedly haunted with many experiencing spirits or entities. Take that as you will. The Alley Studios is just drop-dead amazing. The history and energy of the place is riveting but with an humble, quiet air. I really hope that the Alley Studios starts to house more public performances so that people can learn about it and experience it for themselves. Apparently there is a book in the works that will be pitched to publishers about the background of the facility. So whether you are a musician seeking a creative/recording space or just a fan that can make it to a performance at Alley Studios; DO check it out!
