2018 saw Campbell, Sanders and Trivic build their own purpose built recording studio called The Skullery. Situated in their hometown of Perth in a suburb called Malaga, in a recent interview with Alice Cooper they mentioned that "The Skullery is a legends only creative space."

==Reflections==

Nassif, as part of his ownership and management of The Hen House Rehearsal Studios, continues to update a section entitled "Ideas" on the business' website as of November 2012. Nassif has used the blog to provide advice for newer musicians and bands with reflections from his time with Gyroscope. In a post entitled, "It's not the most talented bands that make it. It's the most persistent!", Nassif explains that Gyroscope recorded its debut album seven years after formation and that a significant contributing factor to the maintenance of the band, as well as other bands, was the equal apportioning of songwriting royalties to all band members:

I think this is incredibly important for young bands because it sets the tone for everyone's roles with in the band. It encourages the members who may not be contributing to the song writing to make sure they contribute in other areas. Such as running the Facebook pages, sourcing the merchandise designs, booking gigs and organising the rehearsal studio.

It means picking up any slack, so that even if your not directly involved with the songwriting your still pushing the band forward with your other responsibilities. Great songs alone will not get your band to where you want to go unless your doing all the smaller things really well too.<ref>{{cite web|title=Its not the most talented bands that make it.

On 3 November 2012, Nassif uploaded a post entitled "3 Reasons Your Band Should Play More Live Shows!", in which he reveals that "Gyroscope has never earned a cent from any of our 4 album releases."<ref>{{cite web|title=3 Reasons Your Band Should Play More Live Shows!|url=http://thehenhouse.com.au/2012/11/3-reasons-your-band-should-play-more-live-shows-2/|work=The Hen House Rehearsal Studios|access-date=30 November 2012|author=Rob Nassif|date=3 November 2012}}</ref>
