Rehearsals typically took place at either Fisher's house, Cuomo's house or "The Band Room." Fisher described the band room as, "A small, burnt-out furniture factory in Vernon. There was absolutely no adult supervision and bands like ours would just go in there and rent our own piece of the floor for three or four hundred dollars a month and build our own walls. We'd practice in there, and kids would just go in there and hang out and listen to other bands. It was really kind of neat and scary at the same time. It was incredibly cold in the winter... We were all in high school. Looking back, I don't know how the hell we came up with the rent."{{citation needed}} | Rehearsals typically took place at either Fisher's house, Cuomo's house or "The Band Room."
