OK, so my band and I are interested in shopping around for a reasonable rehearsal space to practice a couple times a week…I tried searching craigslist, [buffalo.com](http://buffalo.com), artvoice, and even google and can’t seem to turn up ANY results. Where does someone go looking for classified ads for spaces/locations where this is possible? thanks in advance for any help, I figured a bunch of you guys on here have mentioned playing music so maybe someone can help us out… ---

It’s been around forever and I’ve never had a problem there. (Granted I haven’t been there since high school). ---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ---------- It’s literally an abadoned building fitted for power and different rooms bands can rent out. Monthly, weekly, daily etc. etc. ---

I remember hanging out there for hours all the way into the night back 8 or 9 years ago. That’s fucking scary to think it’s almost been a decade. ---

I’ve heard the name before, and I remember seeing a “don’t use the MusicMall in cheektowaga” post on CL like 6 months ago but I forgot the name until you said it… I spent like 30mins trying to find/remember it lol ---

Music mall fucking sucks, IMHO, but it’s been 10 years since I’ve been there. It always seemed real sketchy. And cold. AS FUCK. ---

we’ve been practicing in my basement but we are getting more serious and my sister is currently living with me while she finishes up the first-home-club program to get her own house and I’d like to keep things civil with her; I feel guilty practicing through 11pm on weeknights ---

check out the harrison building in lockport. There are quite a few bands that rehearse there. 24 hr access, gated entry, heavily secured in the building. Rent on my buddies room there is $300-$400 a month, and that is a pretty big room. Heat, bathrooms, water etc. ---
