View event Web site DESCRIPTION: Austin Music Foundation welcomes speaker Martin Atkins, author of TOUR:SMART and Break the Band.
For over three decades, Martin Atkins has been at the cutting edge of where the entertainment industry is and where it**s headed, whether through his work with Johnny Rotten**s band, Public Image Limited, playing with Nine Inch Nails, touring the world with his own band, Pigface, or working with Beijing**s emerging indie rock scene.
Martin is a producer, drummer, documentary film maker, DJ, professor (Madison Media Institute, Columbia College) and most recently started his own entrepreneurial school, revolution number three. He has been organizing, booking, and managing multi-band package tours for over a decade.
In discussing his definitive book on touring, Martin will not only share valuable insight into his methods on booking and touring, but also a discussion of mistakes and failures, time-tested industry tips & techniques, how to market oneself as a musician, strategies for successful touring in the US, how to get more people to shows, why bands must book themselves and more.
Martin will answer audience questions and will have signed copies of his book available for $20.
Immediately following the presentation, there will be a dual drum performance by Martin and local tribal/industrial drummer Bradley Bills of Chant.
This event is FREE to attend and open to the public.

The City of Austin plans to have the Nueces Bike Boulevard opened by late spring. The boulevard would be a multi-use path where car traffic is discouraged. How do you feel about this?
I think this is a great idea, we need more roads like this
