History
History
Once Upon a Time in SHanghai…
El Ray wanted to play drums but his family didn’t necessarily want to listen to him play drums. He met Mal and asked him to help kit out one side of his garage. The Studio at 188 was born. Some others can along to play their instruments and before long came the live shows.
They practiced and they played. They bought more instruments and speakers and mixers. They bought suits of many colours and they practiced some more and more people came and joined.
Two decades later and the list of songs is up over 450. The gigs are close to four figures and the good times are countless.
