I'm a guitarist and drummer, been in the Taipei game for 5 years. Here is my benevolent blessing to musicians: a master list of practice spaces, jam spaces, rehearsal studios, whatever you may call them.

Below, find places good for bands AND individuals to play, sorted by hours and then neighborhood.

Open late--
Ximending: APA Studios
02 2381 5378
Recently bringing in new amps; a lot of Marshalls and Peaveys.
Try to get the 'Middle Room' a.k.a. 'The Ikea Room' for it's blonde hardwood floors and reliable P.A.


Yanji St./Zhongxiao E. Road:
IN GO Music--02 2773 5955
One smallish room

Somewhere in Banqiao, 10 minute walk from Xinpu MRT: FUZZ Music (can't find the #...ask around?)
Obviously NOT centrally located. Band rooms dirt cheap at, like, $150/hr. Amps generally lack a 'Reverb' effect function. You can supposedly record yourself FREE.
