Testimonials and then some!
Originally we thought of just putting up client testimonials on this page, heck even the title of the subpage is "testimonials", but we wanted to take it a step further than just having quotes from our clients that say nice things about their experiences here.  We'd also like to send a little love back to our clients (YOU) too!

"I want to promote a positive environment for everyone here at the studios.  We have enough negativity thrown at us in our lives, weather it's at work, home, in our relationships--whatever.  I want people to feel good about themselves, to smile, to laugh, etc.  Most of us aren't even used to getting compliments, how sad is that?  I've given a compliment to a person (here at the studios), and then had to point out that I did, they hadn't even realized it was something nice said or directed to them.  I hope we can carve out a slice of positivity here, and encourage everyone to want to pass it on to others"  Britt-Marie Trace

So, we hope you enjoy the following comments--testimonials about the studios, as well as the additional bonus!

Wow, we are getting some amazing rosponses from our clients.  Here's another reason to come check us out!.......

Client name: Ethan Brown
Artist name: Laura Roppe
Instrument: Keyboards

Client Quote: 
It was an unexpected pleasure to find myself in such a quality studio
space during our rehearsal's for Laura Roppe's upcoming concert. 

"Pride of ownership" is not a phrase I would ever have associated with
a rehearsal studio, but that was before experiencing Bomb Shelter.  In
my 30 years as a professional musician I've come to associate
rehearsal studios as rundown, cigarette-infested, noisy environments
that were a necessary unpleasantness to be tolerated while working up
band material. And such was my expectation during rehearsals for an
upcoming concert this week.

What a pleasant surprise to walk into a clean, well-maintained
workspace staffed by a clean, well-maintained and professional staff.
 I highly recommend Bomb Shelter Studios.  They are a true resource
for the musicians in the L.A. and Orange County region.

Ethan, you and the rest of your group are an absolute pleasure to work with.   We know that you guys all drive from quite a distance to use out studios and we appreciate that.  Thank you for your business, and thank you for the awesome testimonial!  We hope it will encourage others to try us too.

Client Quote:

Have you ever been to a rehearsal studio that smelled like death?
(Good example of what Bomb Shelter does NOT smell like. Fact: Bomb Shelter smells like vanilla and fresh baked brownies.)
Have you ever had the guy behind the glass at a rehearsal studio be a total jerk to you?
(Fact: Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios does not have glass for people to sit behind. Additional fact: NO JERKS work at Bomb Shelter.) Have you ever wished that the room you were rehearsing jazz in wasn't being overpowered by the Death Metal Punk Speed Pyschobilly band practicing in the room next to you?
(Fact: Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios has developed quantum worm hole sound cancellation technology for the most quiet rehearsal experience.)
Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios is the nicest place I have ever rehearsed at. I will settle for nothing else. When another project says meet in Anaheim or Huntington Beach, I say, "Nay! We will meet in Westminister." Britt, Ken and Brian are the nicest people to ever walk the planet and will do anything humanly possible to make sure your experience is productive, easy, and fun. I am not sure you will find anyone that has anything negative to say about Bomb Shelter. Unless of course they work for another rehearsal studio and they are obviously just jealous.
Speaking for Countless Thousands! I say, "We love Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios and we want to marry it...when it becomes legal.

Our Response:
Wow again!  What can we say...our clients are pretty fanatic about why they like to rehearse here with us.   We think the guys in Countless Thousands are super cool.  We wish them nothing but the best in all that they do.  Thanks for such nice comments!

Client Quote:
The Bomb Shelter staff is always fair the way in which they price the studios which makes every working musician grateful to have a reasonably priced studio to call home. Scheduling is always well organized and there is never a point where a musician feels like they have been given the second rate time/room; rooms are rented on a very fair, first come, first serve basis, with no favors, the way it should be… 

 

Going the extra mile is always important to me and one of the more personally impacting aspects of the staff that I’ve noticed is the staff’s unending strides to help every band gain notoriety. Getting shows and bookings is one of the more difficult and time consuming aspects of being a serious working musician but is the very lifeline of a band’s spirit and existence; Bomb Shelter realizes this and constantly pursuing opportunities for bands who are interested and are willing to work.

I believe that Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios, through their business ethics and love for music are making an impact on the music scene by nurturing and fostering the talent that fills their studios every day. And that is the route, their true love for music that will keep bringing them success…

Our response:
We keep expecting these short quotes, and we keep getting these amazing long cool testimonials.  The guys in Fifth One Down work hard as a band and are here every week.  We wouldn't be here without all of our loyal clients.  We truly appreciate the nice words and are glad to play a part in every band's success.  Thanks to all the guys in Fifth One Down...Ricardo, Jeff, Dave, Nick, Johnny.

"I want to take a moment to tell you all about the best rehearsal studios in all of Orange County... The Bomb Shelter! Owner Britt Trace has a single focus when it comes to making you a happy Bomb Shelter client... she'll do anything within reason to make and keep you happy and coming back to rehearse at the Bomb Shelter. Britt is very creative, and resourceful when it comes to inventing new ways to make your rehearsal experiences positive, and she always lends that personal touch that makes her clients feel special.

Not only that, but the staff there, Ken, Brian, and the rest, bend over backwards to provide the same high standards that Britt has set as goals and standards for her business. These guys are great, very responsive to our needs, and we love working with everyone there! The facility is also clean, the equipment is in good working order, there is so little bleed from the other rooms as to be non-existent, and if you do need something fixed or replaced the staff is right there with what you need.

And, if you need to record, or do a video, you've also got Britt, the staff, or the exceptional talents of Britt's other half, James, who is not only an extremely accomplished recording engineer, and all-around jack of all trades, but a great musician too.

These people know what you want in a rehearsal environment because they ARE musicians, or are experts at catering to musician's needs. And the rates are very reasonable for the value they provide. How could you go wrong?"

Our Response:
Wow, what else is there to say!  We surely appreciate all of our clients and are blown away that Bill would take the time to share his thoughts about what we do here.   We truly have the absolute best clients here at Bomb Shelter, above and beyond anywhere else in OC!  Lots'a love to our friends The Night Creatres, an above all else--THANK YOU to Bill.

"We have been practicing at bomb shelter for about 3 years now and we can honestly say that Bomb Shelter has the most friendly and knowlegable staff of any rehearsal studio around. We always have a great experience at Bomb Shelter!"
Quote provided by: Eric Shipley

Our Response:
Actually, we think it's been longer than 3 years--but who's counting right??  The Bredrin Daddys are a cool bunch of guys.  Their music is fresh and off the hook!   Their live show is awesome and full of energy.  These are some talented guys! We love having the Bredrin Crew here at Bomb Shelter, so thanks for your business and thanks for the nice comment.




Starving For Gravity

The band consists of:  Brett, Brad, Caleb and Lucas
Management: Josh and Alex

Client Quote:
"Bomb Shelter is a studio for anyone that really enjoys music and likes to do things right.  It is a musical landmark for southern California, or at least it should be.  The staff is awesome, the worries are none, and the vibe is chill.  If you take your craft serious, this is the place to be.  Just call Britt, book a room, and from that day forward you will never rehearse in a garage again.  It is professional, private, and fun as hell.  I recommend it for all ages and musical backgrounds."
Quote provided by Lucas of Starving for Gravity

Our Response: 
The guys in Starving for Gravity, management included have been a blast to have here at our studios!  SFG originated outside of CA in Grand Forks, North Dakota and their attitude is definately not a "California" attitude.  They are laid back, fun and friendly, easy to get along with.  They are dedicated and determined to succeed in music, as we see them often here at the studio.  We would like to thank them for their business and friendships.  So, Starving for Gravity...Thanks for the quote, the vote of confidance, the recommendation--you guys are GREAT!
