STUDIO 880 PARTY
Studio 880, Oakland, December 11th: So this is how the big boys record. It was the Studio 880
party and did they ever put on a hell of a party. Two hours before I got there I was thinking
of every excuse in the book not to go, but all those doubts of a boring party were eliminated
when I rolled up. This place is amazingly huge; I have never seen studios like this in my life.
From one studio to the next - top of the line everything. Huge drum rooms, piano rooms, vocal
rooms, you name it and they have it here.
And oh yeah - the party - catered food, an open bar, and celebrities (Mike and Billie Joe of
Green Day) were there. I guess Green Day just finished up some new recordings in Studio 880
last month along with the legend Iggy Pop himself as well as the Lifesavas (produced by
Blackalicious). Not too shabby. It's no wonder this place is so popular, not only do you
have a world-class studio you get all the extras. I mean the lounge room is bigger than
my house, and then you have the full kitchen, bathrooms, bars, slot car racing, and
basketball. It seriously is like an amusement park.
