Martin Atkins and TOUR:SMART at 941 Sept 21st!


16 Days in China – Martin Atkins and Invisible Records at 941 –
THIS SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 21st - $10 gets admission and a free book or CD!

When Chicago-based musician, producer and label owner Martin Atkins (member of PiL, Pigface, Killing Joke, etc) visited Beijing in the fall of 2006, he had no idea what to expect. What he found was a thriving underground culture of rock bands that reminded him of his time in London in the late '70s, and of the downtown scene in early '80s NYC. He signed several bands while he was there, shot 80 hours of video footage, and rented out High End Sound Studios, where he recorded tracks from well over a dozen bands.

The documentary '16 Days in China' will begin at 6:30pm, and a Q&A will promptly follow the conclusion of the film. At 8:00pm, Mr. Atkins will deliver his Tour:Smart band seminar for two hours followed by Q&A session. Tickets are $10 for the entire event, and include either a free copy of the Tour:Smart eBook, or a free copy of the ‘Look Directly Into The Sun’ compilation CD.

In ‘Tour:Smart’, Atkins talks about his Tour:Smart philosophies and explains his ground breaking theories both on DVD and through his critically-acclaimed book. Subjects as diverse as Routing, Merchandise, How to be a Better Opening Band and even more complex strategies are covered. Whether planning a national tour, or desiring more successful regional shows, this guide is a complete asset.
