Damn. As sketchy as Asbury Park is, I was looking forward to this after the show this summer. The club itself isn\'t bad.
-
I was planning on going before I booked tickets to CA for that weekend. I\'m glad I couldn\'t get the vacation time during Thanksgiving because I was originally going to miss the Porter\'s show but make it up beforehand at the Stone Pony. Whew.
-
well that sucks...
did the band cancel it or did the stone pony cancel it?
-
i don\'t think it was ever really confirmed.. looks like miscommunication, since the stone pony has had a comedy show for that date since the day the band announced it.
they\'re gonna work on rescheduling it, but.... the toad\'s show from July 17th was supposed to be rescheduled too...
-
hmm...let me quote from my NYE thread....and add
"What is up with the new company they signed with?"
It doesn\'t feel like they have brought anything to the breakfast table....
-
Maybe I will quit my job and pimp The Breakfast because I\'m not sure anyone is really doing it.
-
I hear that.....
I am ready to quit here and take on full time management duties for the band.

Just so you all don\'t get your panties in a wad....
The Club was bought out for the night by a private concern. They also are paying the bands guarantee for giving up the night. Which would not have happened if The Agency Group was ot involved.
We are working very hard to finish and start the promotion for the CD because it has really been a couple of years since the band has had a high profile product out. Bands in between releases typically have difficult times keeping the calader filled and drawing in clubs away from home base.
Bona Fide was not really well supported by Sonance Records, so we need to really step up the game for Real Radio.
I know some of the current dates, such as the New Years Eve Toads thing might be odd, But that date will pay the band well, but leave the burdon of promoting the night to Max Creek.
The point os, most of our attention and energies are focused on getting the CD out in promotion. What is going on right now is maintenance stuff to keep the band paid until then.
In other words....don\'t panic. The best will be coming next year.

Producer Guy.

Thanks Vic. I am eagerly awaiting the new release.
**unbunches panties, gets slapped by owner of said panties**

i find the first part to be insultaing.....better we just ignore the whole thing?
as for the other.....a lot of people have gone to extremes for the last year to travel for shows and attend timmy tour all week long and the band rewards them by getting "paid well". they might shoulder the finanial burden of promotion, but the fans spread the word.......how many will even see new years now?go get paid.

I\'m glad there is a plan for Real Radio. Not sure if there was one in 2003.

I like the way vic has been stepping in like a voice of god and just giving information to calm the group whenever the tribes down here start worshipping false idols. :P

for what it;s worth..
when ever a band goes through changes.. management, label.. whatever.. there are growing pains and a period of time when everything seems a bit in the air..
it appears to be happening here and it\'s ok. Musically the band sounds better than ever and I am sure the powers that be will get things pointed in the right direction. Everyone involved on the bands behalf are more than compitent to get the job done.
IMO the biggest concern is promoting shows which falls greatly on the band and not on their handlers as much.
My advise! Show continued support - help the band promote shows and push them to work as hard as you do on their behalf.
PS! on a personal note! thanks to everyone.. including the band for supporting me and my new projects. I\'m sure we\'ll all be working together and hanging together for a very long time!

It seems that the focus is the new album and not New Years. The band should make some money and apply their time and effort to the next installment of their discography instead of trying to put together a New Years Eve party for their New England fans. This next record will be heard by far more people than the New Years show and has the potential to gain national attention. It sounds to me like the band and the management don\'t want to repeat the Deuce debacle and are thankfully taking steps to avoid it. It almost seems like...a plan.
Have patience. The new album will be your reward.

The band is going to do what they feel is best for the band. As fans, it\'s our job to support them. I kind of figured that the Toad\'s thing had something to do with money... so good for them... without money everything grinds to a halt.
People shouldn\'t be so critical on this... the band needs to worry about taking care of business first, not giving their hometown fans a place to party on NYE. If I was still living in New Haven, there no doubt in my mind that I would be a Toad\'s to support; however, flying across the country for 1 set is another story. No worries though... there will be other shows for me to see...

Glad that Sonance is out of the picture.
Hoping for great success on Real Radio!

I love this band. No matter what happens that will never change.
BUT
I also love this board, the community that has grown on here, and the fact that it is a great soundboard for people to get out their frustrations with the band, music, sports, etc.
As for the NYE show, I feel that it is for the New England fans and those willing to travel out to see it. Nobody will travel very far for a Max Creek opener slot. Where would this band be if not for its New England contingent of fans? I know where, NOWHERE.....
As for Real Radio, I have been waiting for a new studio album from this band for what feels like forever. That whole Bonafide thing was a joke. I actually listened to Bonafide for the first time ever this past weekend. The production quality was excellent. Other than that it was a piss poor "official release". Piss poor.
as for the freeky deeky....

Dont Threaten Us!!! ;)

whats bona fide exactly???i thought that was a project that never got off its feet.am i wrong?am i wrong?

Glad the band is playing gigs that pay well. This can only help defray the cost of the National Theatre tour to promote Real Radio. No more shitty dives!!!

Just an observation:
Every time something big happens we, as Captain Vic so eloquently phrased it, "get our panties in a bunch". It seems to come down to the fact that many of us are so used to getting "insider" information. Maybe it\'s getting to be that time where, at least in some respects, we just become fans of the band. I\'m sure Freddie, Dave, Wolf, and Paul (and a few others) can say that there was a time when they knew about every move this band made. I think this fan-made New Year\'s fiasco is proof that this isn\'t the case anymore. Thus, I\'m officially taking a vow of silence in matters as such, at least until Voice of God Vic or another "inside" source provides clarification.

And a child shall lead them.:)

Hmmm are you saying in some fashion that we as a fanbase no matter the veteran status should start treating this band as A BAND and not just some friends who play in a band ? Nvr heard that b4 or have I?

OldNewbie...
I\'m a long term wiseass sarcastic type....I certainly didn\'t mean to offend you or any one else. In fact I was trying to inject a bit of levity. This isn\'t the first show that cancelled, nor will it be the last. But the band did get paid from this one, which is good. and it will be rescheduled in Feb.
If you really love these guys you will appreciate the fact that they have to eat, and pay rent, and keep the guitar strings from rusting and the drum stick itact. Van\'s insirance, etc all cost money, and keeping a band together in 2004 means paying the bills, just like you have to do in your life.
None of these guys are driving Beemers...they just get by. So when decisions are made that reflect their income, understand it is not done to disrepect you....without whom none of this would work.
And yes, there is a plan. It starts with the best record we can make.
Cheers.
