We look a little different and sound a little different – because we are! We’re dedicated to experimentation, creativity, and distinctiveness. Part of our uniqueness comes from the fact that we are all students at BCIT. We are always learning and asking questions and invite you to come along for the ride.
Major label, indie label, or no label – if it’s good and it rocks – we’ll play it!
It takes a lot of work to make music. Well, I guess I’m assuming it does, I’ve never made one myself but I have known some musicians and none of them are going “Oh yeah, easiest part of my day really. It goes breathing, blinking, then music. Simple as.” But one of the key parts of making music is the studio its recorded in, and the engineers who make you sound good. Now there is no shortage of musicians around Vancouver, so where do they all go? Well, there’s one spot with enough room for everyone. Not everyone but a lot of people, you get my point.
Soundhouse studios, which does sound like a Chuck Norris movie where he is a karate master drummer, is right here in Vancouver. And they have NINE rooms for people to record in. 7 standard rooms, one premium room, and one mini room. And its not like the standard rooms are cramped tiny spaces either, there’s enough room for 8 people in there. Then with 16 people in the premium room and 2 in the mini, that works out to a max capacity of 74 people!
Now its mostly a rehearsal space, not necessarily a recording studio, but they do have music producers on staff. Now you may be wondering “Hey what’s the point of a producer if there’s nothing to produce?” and I’ll tell you, its not for the seasoned musicians.
Well, I’m sure if they asked one would come by, but actually its for the team building they offer! Yeah! I don’t know if you’d ever thought about that, I sure didn’t but they actually do team building events where they provide instruments, and a producer and let people loose in the studio. And that’s a really awesome idea. It requires you to work at a place with a bunch of musically inclined people, which is probably the hardest part, but if you have that then go for it!

Imagine instead of awkward karaoke nights (I don’t know I haven’t worked a real job) or hot wing eating competitions (That one’s real, my dad told me about doing that once), you could get together with a bunch of people who you kind of tolerate at most, and just jam. I don’t know, maybe I’m a hippie but that sounds like a blast.
So if you have a bunch of people who you want to make some noise with, check out Soundhouse, and rock on!
