There is no one place to live or a special place where all musicians live. You live where you are happy or can afford to live. Gigs and shows are all over the city, either way you gotta get in your car and travel.

As far good paying gigs doing acoustic, hmmm You'll have to do some home work. Very competative. I never see signs posted looking for acoustic musicians. Not to say the gigs aren't there, you'll have to call, email, and or send demo and see what pops up.

Hey ! As mentioned in your other thread definately the West side, or possibly Los Feliz/Atwater/Silverlake. Very ecclectic there, mix of people, lots of small venues, punksters, etc.

downtown near Little Tokyo, but honestly meeting people on the streets of Hollywood might surprise you - it's not all cliche, guns and roses did it!

los feliz/silverlake like they said upstairs, venice, and culver city is pretty exciting but not for music really.

also like whomever said upstairs, you will need to be willing to drive in these here parts, cuz everything is everywhere in soCAL. Good luck.

Fixx, do you know about the Musician's Institute? I believe it's on Hollywood Blvd. That would be a good place to network.

I know a lot of musicians who live in the Valley.

The rent is usually cheaper here, and there are a lot of recording studios in the Valley too.
