I see most of those types of gigs posted on craigslist.org. When you visit the link below, select your state from the right hand side of the screen, choose you nearest city, and then "jobs" or "gigs".\n\nHappy Hunting!

I have a couple of friends that play gigs throughout town.  You need a following of people.  I would have a mail list set up at your gigs and inform them of when you are playing next.  When you have a big enough following, you can get into places like the Viper Room (in LA) or other places  (depending on your type of music).  These types of places have A&R scouts, managers etc.. \n\nDo everything you can to get the word out.  Go to myspace and start a band following there.  It also is a fast and easy way to let people know where you are gonna be playing..\n\nSending unsolicited tapes are the long shot way of getting a contract simply because there are so many submissions.. most of the time they end up in the trash (unless you are unique sounding or spectacular)..\n\nGood luck..

either the Paradise Rock Club or the Middle East- both in the Boston, MA area\n\nThey play all kinds of music both places, and they're not really local for me, but it's one of the closest cities and both venues are great for small shows with indie "unknowns" playing.
