The Gig (Los Angeles)

Founded in the mid nineties as an answer to the rash of corporate clubs cropping up throughout the country, The Gig has been a haven for new music for nearly a decade.

Located in the center of one of the world's most vibrant neighborhoods, The Gig on Melrose fast became an LA mainstay. The club is widely known for its friendly staff and easy-going atmosphere, and was recently named "the most band-friendly venue in all of Los Angeles," in an industry poll conducted by Music Connection Magazine as well as "outstanding venue" by the LAMA.

The Gig has developed a personality all its own over the years, quite different from the oft-maligned clubs that line the Sunset Strip, and the dozens of other live music venues that dot the LA landscape.
