N.O.C. (Issued) is a studio in Mumbai specifically designed for live jams. No prizes for guessing where the name came fromevery rock band in Mumbai has one common problem - a jam place!
And even the bands that have access to a practice pad usually have problems with neighbors, cops, etcN.O.C. stands for No Objection Certificate (Issued).
There are several value adds. We have provided a mixer-PA setup to eliminate volume wars and to give bands the feeling of playing on stage and also to educate bands on basic sound setups
and mixing techniques. We'sve tried to create a comfortable environment so bands can focus purely on making music with no problems and no interruptions.
Just get your guitars, processors, and cables, plug in, and enjoy the best jam experience of your lives. That'ss a promise.
