McLean Company Rentals Partners with Thunder Underground Studios for Vacation Destination Music
Musicians Escape Major Metros in Favor of Cost-Effective Recording Solutions and Scenic, Sprawling Desert Getaways.

PALM SPRINGS, CA, July 14, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Coachella Valley's premiere, luxury vacation rental agency, McLean Company Rentals announced its partnership today, with newly launched Palm Springs music venture Thunder Underground Studios. The Coachella Valley has been evolving into a West Coast musical mecca ever since the 1999 inaugural Coachella Music Festival hit the dusty, pony-trodden polo fields of Indio, California. Compliments of this giant musical event, aggregates of indie rock devotees and miscellaneous revelers of all stripes, ritualistically shoot down the10 freeway's eastern artery to pay homage to a sea of amazing bands. In addition to the draw of Coachella Fest, Palm Springs recently spawned its own microcosm of hipster culture with the opening of The ACE Hotel (a stylized, bastion of macram?, live bands and Vespa rentals). The creative, bohemian, retro charms of Palm Springs have proven irresistible to a young, artistic demographic who come armed with little more than guitars and shoestring budgets.

Seeking to harness this influx of visiting musicians, a Palm Springs based team of noteworthy producers, industry executives and established musicians came together to forge Thunder Underground Studios. Thunder Underground serves as a unique musical retreat offering a full-service, professional recording experience. The studio is distinctly positioned to address the production needs of savvy artists, accustomed to impeccable, pro sound; who need to stretch their budgets further than would be possible in LA at a comparable facility.

"The desert is totally conducive to creativity and efficiency," stated studio partner and musician Matt Harris of The Posies, Ian Moore & the Lossy Coils, and Oranger acclaim. "It's Palm Springs! It's the epitome of relaxation," said Harris. "There are no distractions out here, so it's effortless to be productive and maximize your sessions." To date the studio has worked with such notables as Kyuss's John Garcia on his new solo effort Garcia vs. Garcia; Famed Russian pop group Heroes; chart topping UK DJ's the Freemasons; along with revered, multi-platinum producer Eric Valentine. The studio has additionally taken Los Angeles-based, teen girl-band, Sailors of Neptune under its wing and is currently tracking their debut release. In addition to hiding out in the desert and recording new music, the girls are opening for the legendary Bangles at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano this Fri, July 15.

In order to encapsulate the swank, Rat Pack magic of the true Palm Springs that Frank built, Thunder Underground reached out to Founder and CEO of McLean Company Rentals, Michael McLean. "Our companies have a great synergy," stated McLean. "We knew the aesthetic and architectural significance of our mid-century properties would be really inspiring for musicians recording at this exciting new company. We can provide Thunder Underground artists a level of privacy that's going to help them focus on their music and feel completely revitalized for all the hard work they're going to invest in their recordings. All of the businesses in Palm Springs share an interconnectedness and having a professional recording studio of this caliber, that is also a vacation destination, take root here is a real asset for the desert."
