By far and away one of the best things about working at the studios is seeing so many great bands full of lovely people coming to us, and The Outbursts are up there with the best of them. Just the other day I was going through an old diary and saw a note from November 2009 that I went just up the road and saw them play at the old Walthamstow Standard, and still to this day they put on a great gig! 😎❤️

As some of you will have seen, we now sell single guitar strings in our studio shop! We have them in the D, G B and high E strings, (mainly as those are the ones that usually break, if the lower E and A strings are at the point of breaking, it's probably time to change the whole set!)

We have them available in the gauges that Ernie Ball Regular Slinky's come in, as well as having 9's, which is what the high E is in the Super Slinky's. They're available for £2 each, apart from the 26's which are £2.30. If there's every anything that you would recommend that we get into stock in the shop, please let us know so that we can look into it for you! 😃👍

It's all a bit crazy to think that it was 20 years ago now that everything kicked off for Bombay Bicycle Club. I can vividly remember bands who were rehearsing in Studio 3, which was next to Studio 1, the one that the band used to use, coming into the office to make teas and coffees and asking who they were, and then finding out that they were still teenagers at the time, much to their surprise! Some of the people at this upcoming gig won't even have been born at that time! It's incredible to see what the band has achieved in the meantime, and it's really well deserved too. A band that was always really nice, hard working, well organised, and made great music, which is exactly how it should be. Long may it continue! ❤️

We wanted to commemorate being a band for 20 years. In our early days, we benefited so much from an incredible musical education and the small venues that let in a group of 15 year olds and all their friends. As part of celebrating our 20th anniversary as a band, which includes playing I had the blues and Flaws in full at LIDO powered by SumUp we are going back to a couple of the venues that gave us our start and we’ll only be playing music from our early EPs and MySpace demos.

The Camden Assembly: March 13/14
Nambucca: March 20/21

You can enter a prize draw to win tickets here: https://bombaybicycle.club/20years/
It costs £10 per entry and that will get you 2 tickets if you’re chosen from the prize draw. Deadline for entry is 12pm on Monday 9th for the shows on the 13th & 14th, and 12pm on Monday 16th for the 20th & 21st.
Proceeds will go to the Universal Music UK Sound Foundation - a great music education charity for children: https://www.umuksoundfoundation.com/

Earlier this year we held an online Battle of the Bands - we asked bands 18 and under to submit music so we could choose support bands for these shows. Tight Lines will be supporting us on March 13/14 and Call Me Animal will support us on March 20/21.

And yes, our parents will be picking us up after the gigs.

Back in 2005, 21 years ago, we started offering solo rehearsals for the flat rate of £6.50 per hour. A couple of years later we brought in package deals where you could pay £60 for 10 hours of sessions, and £100 for 20 hours, and since then we've had THOUSANDS of solo sessions here, and the rate has not budged, not a penny in 21 years.

However, it's no longer possible for us to keep the prices as they currently are, so we need to raise them to the following price, as of next Monday, 9th February.

1 hour = £7.50
10 hours = £70
20 hours. £130

Don't worry, if you have already paid for solo sessions and have some on tab, those sessions are unaffected, and if you have booked solo sessions with us before, and if you want to get some sessions in at the cheaper old rate, you have until this Sunday to send us the money and your sessions will be locked in at the cheaper rate. 🪙

As before, that price includes everything that you need for your solo session. For drummers, 🥁 it includes snare, cymbals, bass pedal, throne, everything apart from sticks, (which we have for sale in the office.) For pianists, 🎹, it includes the hire of our stage piano, and for solo singers, 🎤 it includes all of the connectors that you need to plug your phone into our PA system. (Best to check with us in advance, just to make sure that we have them ready for you).

£6.50 in 2005 is worth £11.64 today, so the rate rises are still well under the rate of inflation, and we are going to try our very best to keep the rates as low as we can, but the extra £1 per hour will make sure that we can maintain all of the equipment as much as we need to, so hopefully it offers even more value for money in the long run. 🙂👍

After a few years of Studio 1 being booked out on a long term basis by a few bands that were sharing it, it's now turned into pretty much the most popular studio we have. The extra availability has meant that we've been able to have loads of new bands book with us, (our regular bands used to snap up the sessions before), and it's been SO GREAT to meet so many new, lovely people recently. Meeting so many great and positive people is easily the best part of working here! ❤️
