Here is the text for on-line bids:
- "Wedding on-stage with Pigface. Get married or renew your vows in front of the screens before the show! This worked out so well for Scott and Kimmy from Pittsburgh during the last Pigface tour in 2001 that we decided to make this chance-of-a-lifetime available to another lucky couple! Kiss as the screens are torn down, and spend the first five minutes of married bliss on-stage with the legendary Pigface.
You're welcome to bring a video camera on-and-backstage for taping the wedding. The band will also be available for stills, etc. This deluxe wedding package includes All Access laminates for twenty guests (which of course includes free admission to the show), a case of champagne and two cases of beer in a backstage dressing room. You can either hang-out for the show with your bridal party, or consummate your bond in a glorious hour by yourselves in the rear lounge of the Pigface tour bus!"

*Routing of the tour
*Dates of the shows already booked
*Timing of the show itself
What can change (subject to additional fees):
*The quantity and contents of the backstage rider

Wow, glad someone pulled up this article. I like Martin Atkins. My old band I managed (X-15) opened for PIL in Seattle and Portland. Then in 1986 he had a band called BRIAN BRAIN (Anyone remember the "Fun With Music" E.P.? Great stuff) which I promoted a couple of times in Santa Fe, NM.
Anyway, seeing this article pulled up gave me great memories and had to bring up Brian Brain.

Martin Atkins is simply the greatest drummer on the planet.
Check out EXTREMETIES, from the 1990 album of the same name. AWESOME.
Also, Martin speaks in the interview about 'Digital Drums, Samples, etc.'
Well check out INSIDE THE TERMITE MOUND from the same album.

For all the Martin Atkins fans out there, from the early to mid 80's I was the lighting director for a club called City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. PIL was touring at the time when I met Martin, Johnny keep calling him Brian Brain, it turns out Martin had a band based in New Brunswick, NJ. called Brian Brain, Dance/Funk music. He had a nice little tune called Funky Zoo, and a pretty good set list.
