Martin flew to Austin today to start the second leg of the Tour:Smart Tour! He’s going to Austin, TX; Houston, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; Mobile, AL; New Orleans, LA; Alexandria, LA; and St. Louis, MO. Then it’s back to Chicago!! Click here to RSVP to the event in your city!

We have come up with a new model for a recording studio - it’s a package deal that’s designed to help YOU, the artist(s), to succeed in your music career! This is not what you’re used to if you’ve ever been to a studio before - this is a Chicago-style, balls-to-the-wall, whatever-it-takes investment in the future of your career! It’s called the “Breaking the Band” package.

With “Breaking the Band” you get:
- 2.5 days in the studio with Martin Atkins and the Mattress Factory Studio Crew
- Recording, mixing, and light mastering of 4 songs
- Martin’s production expertise - including help with song arrangement
- Merchandise brainstorming session with Martin and one of our Graphic  Designers

In Tour:Smart fashion, you’ll also leave with 120 professionally-printed CDs in sleeves, and 40 T-shirts of 2 different designs. You’ll also get a 5-minute video of your band in the studio uploaded to YouTube, and a $50 off coupon for a Tour:Smart Plus! weekend for two band members.
