It has been awhile since the last acoustic show. Would be kinda cool if one of these residency shows was acoustic.

Or like back in \'03 when they\'d break out the acoustic stuff for a couple of tunes.

this is fucking whack. cant go to the show in PA and now I cant go to any of these shows in my home state. I mean I really don\'t see the benefit of having it be 21 +... just leaves out the younger people who really have becoming more and more into the breakfest, trust me I see it happeneng. Now what I gotta wait for the break-FEST til I see them again. Fucking weak

Yea dude it\'s a big problem. Northampton and Newmarket get lucky, but not many other places. Sorry you can\'t go, but look forward to meeting you at the FEST.

Post by: frolfer on March 13, 2011, 09:24:54 pm
It is kinda wack. I do love that the Breakfast is appealing to a younger crowd. This youth and energy is going to help propel the band. Keep the faith!

This may not help much, but just enjoy being who you are and how old you are right now. There will come a time when you will long for those days. Trust me.

At the very least, hopefully these shows will be taped and you can be there anytime!

Just trying to help, I\'ll get off my soapbox now and get my old ass to bed :zzz:

The Breakfast music is electric, therefore the instuments have to be electric!
Acoustic is for James Taylor.

In the conversations I have had with the band they clearly recognize the importance of the youth movement.  They don\'t specifically choose venues in CT because the are 21+, it just happens to be that the venues they play happen to be 21+.  If you look at the CT venues it is mostly the same every year.  Sully\'s and Toad\'s place.  That\'s basically it.  IMO, because of the relationship and success of Kung Fu, the Acoustic Cafe decided to bring in the Breakfast for that January gig and then book them for the residency.

Most places they play in CT are glorified bars rather then music venues.

There just aren\'t many under 21 venues in CT that it makes sense for them to play.  They either don\'t have the relationship with the venue or the venue is unwilling to book them at a price that makes financial sense.  

Trust me...they are not trying to alienate the younger fans.  The logistics just don\'t make sense right now for many under 21 venues.

You are absolutely right.  The actual music scene in this area has faded, so its left bands with just bars to play in.

To the younger fans, we\'ve all been there.  When I first started seeing the band, when they were pb, I was on the under 21 side at Toad\'s Place. I can imagine its frustrating.  Just go to the shows you can, the band surely appreciates you and your presence.

Honestly though is there no way to talk some sense into these acoustic cafe people? They\'re are plenty of responsible money-bearing under 21 year olds that want to come to at least one of these shows. Its not like they\'re just doing one its 3 in a row follow by fu!!!! I mean with no other shows lined up besides rock n roll festie idk how im gonna get my fill of the breakfast.

I realize i sound like a broken record but fuck stone church charges 5 bucks extra for people under 21 id be down to do that.... dont these people want to take my money!!

Breakfast and Fu should do a show together in the upstairs.

Would be no problem.

Kung Fu sold out IH last time. We pushed hard to get everyone out there.

Same would happen for Breakfast, cuz everyone who likes Kung Fu likes Breakfast as much or more (almost everyone).

I am personally not a big fan of either.  I would just as rather go the the acoustic cafe with cheap drinks than spend time at the other bars.  I probably won\'t be arriving until about 10 though...
