(UPDATED)  

Rounding out this week on **[Music Think Tank](www.musicthinktank.com)**, we have two new posts that are worthy of a click through. First off, **Mike Venti**, author of [The Wayward Musician](http://www.waywardmusician.com/?ref=hypebot.com) blog and [30 Tips For The Typical Musician](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/30-tips-for-the-typical-musician.html?ref=hypebot.com), is back with a lesson on how to [sell out your live shows every time](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/selling-out-your-shows-every-time.html?ref=hypebot.com). The problem, according to Venti, is that artists always try to play the nicest, most-established venue in town, hoping to selling it out, rather than **playing the smaller venue** that they could easily pack.

Next, **Johnathan Ostrow**, co-founder of [MicControl ](http://miccontrol.com/?ref=hypebot.com)and author of [The Musicians Guide To Fan-Funding](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/the-musicians-guide-to-fan-funding.html?ref=hypebot.com), comes back with a lucid and insightful post about how to [turn your fanbase into a tribe](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/for-musicians-10-tips-for-turning-your-fanbase-into-a-tribe.html?ref=hypebot.com). Whether you look to the **Insane Clown Posse** (the Juggalo), the **Grateful Dead** (the Deadhead), or **Jimmy Buffet** (the Parrothead), there are sub-cultures and communities that exist beyond the band, and John provides insight into **how tribes work** and **why they matter** in music circles.
