Flabby Road
project studio

where the offbeat and indiscreet meet to beat the heat and lay down tracks so sweet only to admit defeat when mistreated by the tin-eared A&R elite

pros: sliding scale rates, central air conditioning and/or heating, grocery store and "huddle house" a brisk 5-minute walk away

cons: not really a full, live-band tracking room, though there are plenty of those in the triangle we can get excellent rates on to get your record started.
