What People are Saying About Us

“To whom it may concern, 

Let me begin by just touching on the story of our beginnings at Music Garage.  Robot Lounge moved into Music Garage towards the end of January of 08.  We moved into the top floor…
Since then, we’ve played dozens of shows, recorded a full album, and have experienced much tragic drama together as a band.
Throughout these months we have never had one complaint about the place where we make our music.  Sometimes it’s hard for us to notice when everything is going right, and those are things we don’t bitch and fight about.
Music Garage has been nothing but good to us, and then some.
Here are a list of some of Robot Lounge’s favorite things… (which can be taken for granted, have you not experienced worse places to practice:)

24 hour elevator access
everyone is friendly but minds their own business
entertaining entrance codes
kali’s brilliantly crafted emails
summer cookout with burgers, hotdogs, and beeeeeeeer!

“The Music Garage is hands down,  the best rehearsal facility in Chicago,or the entire Midwest for that matter!!”
Tim “Gooch” Lougee, Tour Manager, Smashing Pumpkins

The Music Garage was great….truly a professional rehearsal studio.”
Adam “Cutlets” Richards,Tour Manager, The Black Crowes

“After being in the music production business since 1974, we have seen so many facets of the business come and go that it becomes hard to find something new that impresses us. When you do find something that makes you step back and say “whoa dude!”, you treat it like your own personal discovery….not to keep it secret, but to share it with your fellow production friends as a hot connection. Such is the case with The Music Garage. After working with the staff at the new Chicago location, I was so impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail, let alone their “bend over backwards” ability to accommodate well beyond any rehearsal facility anywhere on this planet, I simply had to share my
“secret place” with all of my friends and acquaintances in the business.
The Music Garage has done more than fulfilled a need for a full service
production rehearsal facility in Chicago and New York, they have succeeded in creating a new business that makes you feel you have an old and trusted friend. Thanks to everyone at The Music Garage, and I look forward to many years of business and friendship.”
