The Hobby Shop

Recording complex located in the Los Angeles suburb of Highland Park, California. The facility is made up of two independent recording studios working together under one roof. Studio East is owned and operated by producer/composer Andrew Murdock a.k.a. “Mudrock” (Lou Barlow, Jango Bates, The Riverboat Gamblers). Together in 2003 they purchased the building, which was a hobby shop in the 1950s. They spent the next year knocking down walls and building two studios with the help of studio designer Vincent Van Haaff. They opened the facility in 2005.
