Expanding musical experience .
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, this facility is not an ordinary box for live performances. Rather, the other spaces are an important component of the facility, a feature not found in other live music venues in Bangkok.
Capturing memories of the concert on your smartphone is one thing, but if you want to go all out, try purikura, a purikura machine located in the back of the first floor that prints out your photos in specially made frames. You can capture memorable moments with your friends and partner.
On the second floor, there is a space where you can listen to records. The shelves are lined with records, just like in a store, and the lineup ranges from nostalgic legends to up-and-coming musicians (including Tatsuro Yamashita and Eiichi Otaki!). (Names like Tatsuro Yamashita and Eiichi Otaki are also on the shelves!)
Even on a crowded floor, Marshall's high-performance headphones will do the trick. You can dig into the music you like without worrying. Stop by before or after a show to discover new artists.
Also on the second floor is a space selling Marshall merchandise. Original T-shirts with the Marshall logo and audio products are on display. Perhaps it would be a good idea to buy some souvenirs here while still feeling the excitement of the concert.
There are two rehearsal rooms on the third and fourth floors. They can be used from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. by reservation only. The place is open to Thai artists, and for about 350-550 Thai baht per hour (¥1,630-2,560 Japanese yen), you can devote yourself to practice in a high-quality acoustic environment. There is a large room for full band (with full backline) and a small room for digital music production (with backline), which can be used for different purposes, and is also suitable for small workshops and rehearsals.
Incidentally, on this day, a young Bangkok-based band "YEP MAY YEP" entered the room for rehearsal. While it is great to perform in the comfort of one's own home, it is best to perform in a well-equipped environment if one is looking forward to a big stage. For those who are pursuing their dreams, the financial situation cannot be ignored, but it is nice to have this kind of service at a reasonable price.
There was even a scene where Okamoto Reiji, who came to the rehearsal room on a whim, played the drums.
The fourth floor is a modular open space that can be used for a variety of events and workshops.
On this day, under the direction of "Mark SBTG," an artist from Singapore, the "MAJOR" headphones distributed to visitors V" customization workshop was held. Participants chose their favorite mark and made a mold with special paints on the leather headband to make it their own. With a pair of headphones that have had a little work added to them, the usual music experience will become even more special.
