Hope this is webcammed. I\'m gonna keep an eye on actual starting time... if they really start anywhere close to 8:30 or 9:00, which I doubt, maybe I\'ll make it down next week.
Or just wait for Northampton. I am having minor shred-fusion withdrawls atm though.
^^
Huh. I can understand why they would ask that. But in my imagination it seems the live stream was a big part of their initial success of the first residency.
Weren\'t they thanking you and Matt for running the live stream before? Fickle peoples.
I believe the fact is that whether it be Breakfast, Kung Fu, or any side projects we may enjoy, the more people that get to experience it in any form (paid or not), the greater long-term success these bands will have.
Reminds me of last year when we weren\'t supposed to tape shows for a couple months or something... and now the band is disappointed if a show doesn\'t get taped ;)
i think it was no more soundboard recordings... i dont think it was recordings all together. that would suck. who asked not to do the webcasts? the band or the venue?
Seems Kung Fu is borrowing The Breakfast\'s shoes.
Those Clown ones.
I sorta disagree with the stigma thing. Yes some people have made up there minds but, there are a lot of virgin ears yet to hear TB.
Our sound has evolved with some newer songs in the mix.
Imagine what a big festival play in front of 3 or more thousand folks would do to our fan base. We would be right back in the driver seat.

Jordan, as a huge Breakfast fan it is clear to me the evolution of your music. Your sound is much different than it was 5 years ago, which is different than it was 10 years ago. I also think it is clear that your music still has a huge impact on virgin ears. I think our younger friends in New Hampshire are a clear example of this.
The problem I\'m referring to is the older crowd that has already developed an opinion of the band and its music and is unwilling to give it another try or at least listen with an unbiased ear. And it is the word of mouth of those people that has a trickle down effect on others. Maybe my experience is different than others, but I\'m just sharing what i\'ve seen/heard from a first hand account.
Regardless, the Breakfast rock and everyone here knows it!

band has been asking me not to since main pub but i did first week of stellas anyway. i had been running 1 webcast a week on the kung fu channel between breakfast/kung fu/timmytour and the # of unique viewers was going up by over 100 viewers per webcast each week. i wanted to keep that trend going for as long as possible.
we had 420 unique viewers the first week of the residency and i didnt see any local .infoers in the chat room. now there is nothing else to webcast, and we lose the audience that we built up.
Just for perspective, I come from that older crowd that really didn\'t give the band a chance way back when for whatever reason. I have always been a jam fan so I\'ve been around the scene, but my head was swirling around some other bands. So, I\'m not trying to say I thought they sucked, I\'m just saying my attention was elsewhere. I saw my first show finally in \'04. It just didn\'t grab me. I do think a lot more of the performance now than I did then. But at the time, I didn\'t make an effort to see them again.
Well that all changed when I saw them live in Ithaca in \'08. I was enthralled. Still am. This led me to investigate the previous years of PB and I kick myself for not seeing this light sooner. The shows I could\'ve seen!!!! Now, their music, past and present, is the most relevant to me. When Jordo announced he was coming back for some shows I knew I had to get after it and see this band as much as possible.
The band still has a tremendous amount to offer. They are a vibrant live act with memorable tunes and great jams and energy. The trickle down effect you speak of Nick works both ways. People want to know what I\'m into and what I\'m traveling so far to see and they recognize that this is something viable. I do my best to spread the word. If i encounter a negative perspective I share mine and I hope that it affects theirs in some positive way.
There are converts out there. If it could happen to someone like me, then there must be more of us out there!! Food for thought.

PLEASE LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR!
KUNG FU LOVES THE STREAM! NO ONE HAS ASKED ANYONE NOT TO STREAM! IT\'S THE BEST EXPOSURE AND THE CATALYST TO THIS BANDS QUICK RISE.
PLEASE KEEP STREAMING.
LAST WEEK WE DIDNT BECAUSE TIM WAS OUT.
WE WERE ALL HOPING LAST NIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN CAPTURED!
There are still plenty of fans to gain in the north- east leath.
Its easy to just tell the band to tour around the country but, it\'s easier said than done.
I sure do miss Cali though:(

sorry, fixed it... wanted to make sure I covered everyon but you get the point.
If you think playing the gathering of the vibes main stage wouldn\'t help our draw and fan base in the area,then I think you are delusional!
Playing the same old places all the time won\'t cut it.
