If you have ever had the pleasure of visiting Waves House Music Studio in Yallingup you'd know it's something special, the kind of place the likes of The Rolling Stones would have spent a wild time recording.
Perched high on the hill above Injidup Beach, the three storey recording studio has sweeping views across the southwest's rugged coastline inspiring many artists who have graced its floors.
It was built in the 1980's by Californian surfer Ken Eichenberg, and has played host to a number of parties and big name musical acts over the years such as the Beastie Boys, Eddie Vedder and Fat Boy Slim.
It's not hard to be inspired there.
The cofounders of Waves House Studio Sessions Glen and Brad Baker, Tara DePaolo and Ken Eichenberg said the studio was facing a real risk of closure brought on by COVID-19 restrictions.
The brothers said the iconic studio was in jeopardy and could not be sustained any longer without the ability to capture a wider audience or to try and access government or private grants.
During the pandemic, the Baker brothers have been live streaming Western Australian artists performing at the studio across a music platform but needed financial support to keep going.
"Our primary goal is to generate enough exposure that we are able to gain funding or grants so we can continue to support local artists through hardship and share their passion with the world," they said.
"Our skills in running events and photography allowed us to create a platform and a community.
"We hope to get funding or grants to purchase the equipment we need and continue streaming music and support the artists who are no longer making an income from their jobs.
"We realistically only have a few more weeks left before we have to pack up the studio and leave the property unless we can find an avenue to share what we have created, get the story of Waves House out to the public and have the industry help support such an amazing and unique space.
"We are tossing a hail Mary out there to anyone who may be interested, who may have the power, money, connections, resources or anything to help us save the studio.
"Without funding or huge support from music industry it will close down."
The brothers are hoping to restore the studio back to its former glory.
"It needs a lot of love and attention but that is what we are here to do," Glen said.
"She is a bit rough around the edges but has a heart of gold, we want to give her a coat of paint and do her nails again.
"If we can succeed in our mission plan here it will make sure music is kept playing and created, and hopefully we will be able to host events in the cave again.
"This is too good to lose."
Brad said the studio was a cultural icon for the area
"Who hasn't partied here over the generations?" he said.
