I just moved to socal couple of weeks ago. I was wondering, in order to find a gig, should I just drop off demos at bars or clubs? Or do I have to know someone in order to get a gig?
go to all clubs on the weekends try to get to know promoters and other dj's get familiar. spread your demo cd's... hmmm what else. oh yeah Smile it helps a lot

good advice blitzz. i agree. welcome to the area dilmeet!
go around and network a bunch. website, demo cds, business cards, press kit's etc... all that helps... but unfortunately we all can agree that talent nor passion gets you gigs... it's simply who you know.

::goes back to producing::
From my research, i think networking works. You do have to know people to land interesting gigs, theres a lot of talent and passion out there your going up against, so its easy to get edged out by those with connects. Find the connects Carl Johnson.

Talent means nothing, i think i might start DJing too. but if you got some talent come check out my partys on every first Friday in OC. i have a post on these boards somewhere for this friday. I book talent period.
I really would love to have a gig here in SoCal
