Operating as usual
Last month was unofficially our 30th year doing Barco. (I honestly don't remember the first practice.) We signed the lease mid month, then built, then rocked! Hard to believe it has been 30 years. It still seems like yesterday.
We've had regular bands, wedding bands, cover bands, professional cover bands, people that just come in to drill, live streams, and recordings done at Barco.
Thanks for helping to keep Barco alive all these years.
This DMV record store list from January is pretty handy.

Ten ways to make your band auditions better
Spring has sprung, and usually people are encouraged to go outside and enjoy the weather, but Barco is telling you to go inside the rehearsal room and work on your songs.
Bassists, you can use as much or as little distortion as you like at our rehearsal rooms. You can also turn it up.
Since it's so cold and windy out, what better way to spend a Sunday than to get in the rehearsal room and drill your set list?
If your band is within range of Falls Church VA, get in touch for more info.
One of the nice things about our rehearsal space is that it's wholesome.
Happy New Year. We're looking forward to more racket in the rehearsal rooms in 2022. Call us to book some time for your band to practice using only the best backline behind you and a place where you can actually hear you vocals!!! Watch the Video below made by Suzi Moon in one of our studio's

After dropping a solo EP earlier this year and two music videos for songs off the release, vicious punk rocker Suzi Moon comes back with a black and white music video for her single “Nuthin to Me.” The last song on her Call the Shots EP, “Nuthin to Me” is a heavy, crunchy power anthem […]
We have a "power trio" room that's big enough to fit three players. OK, a singer can squeeze in also.
Get in touch to schedule your band or solo project in for a rehearsal. Shows are back in full swing in the DC area and we all need to be ready.

"While the top-tier bands can afford to cancel based on COVID safety concerns, many small and local musicians don’t have many financial options. Roots musician Hilary Perkins saw that the pandemic was creating inequality and systematic problems for musicians who need regular gigs.
“'Women are particularly concerned, and people of color are particularly concerned,' said Perkins."

In some states, venues may face penalties for mandating vaccines and COVID-19 tests.
