Gig Hollywood Nightclub in Hollywood submitted Description

Founded in the mid 90s as an answer to the rash of corporate clubs cropping up throughout the country, The Gig is a haven for new music. The club is widely known for its friendly staff and easy-going atmosphere, and was 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 of 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. With acts as diverse as Michelle Branch, Linkin Park and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club who have tramped the stage on their path to superstardom, the Gig is devoted to uncovering and nurturing new talent.
