Hey there guys
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? |

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. :) |

suck off teh promoterzzzs! ... thats how to get ahead. o WAIT.
::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. |

| yeah... basically what I assumed, networking. I might try to find some people here at UCR who dj or who into EDM. |

| i would assume it wouldnt hurt to get into production as well |

| 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. |
