So, whats the next step? This group will NOT disband.
and neither will the .info community
-
Tim needs to give a State of The Breakfast speech.
/end political joke
-
meh.
we\'re not there yet. let\'s cross that bridge when we come to it and enjoy the shit out of these last 5 shows.
-
Dude I already told you.
The are gonna get a new guy on Bass and people will compare him to Ron.
The Breakfast are not going anywhere but National!
The reason Ron left is he did not want to tour. The rest of the guys do and still have the desire to bring their music to as many people as possible.
Tim and Adrian are one of the best things to happen to music in so long and their vision deserves to be manifested.
This band has gone through so fucking much in their history and the fact that Tim and Adrian want to soldier on despite the loss of desire from 2 guys they started this thing with makes me more of a fan of them then ever!
The elation I have felt listening to Breakfast music again since Matt joined has been wonderful and I have every faith in Adrian, Tim and Matt to find a Bass Player that not only fits the music but will win our hearts also.
-
I don\'t know if this is any constellation but a keyboardist named Peter Gresisar left the Dave Matthews Band in \'93 right before they hit it big, and look how well they did without him.
-
now they have butch taylor and he is a monstor
I think they should move out of New Haven and out to somewhere with more of a scene going on to create a buzz...... Boulder/Fort Collins, or Burlington, or Asheville or Madison WI, or Portland OR, or something along those lines, move west, there are more appreciative music fans out here

HA I have always said if this band was located out here (Ca. or Colo.) they would be so much bigger and probably a dominant player on the scene.

Don\'t know if you\'re familiar with http://www.antsmaching.org, but they are the hardcore DMB fans and they hate on him so much for his long ass solos. I feel so bad for him. He\'s awesome though.

Read into it all you want.
What I am saying as Spunk is saying has nothing to do with you fans that actually support music. There is a proven appreciative crowd out West that is not present in podunk New Haven and other than New York or Boston a hell of a lot more people that see this type of music out here than there.
-
i disagree, i think the jamband community is very very strong in the northeast/new england area, hence the reason why many jambands tour heavily in the northeast as compared to other regions of the country.

No. Bands tour heavily in the NE because it is easy to do. You can hit so many different cities within such a small area and it is anchored by Boston and NYC for any "big" shows.
-
north east jamband scene= overly competitive and practically dead, who really still plays and draws out east...... and in comparison most bands draw 5x the crowd here.... like moe. selling 8500 tickets to Red Rocks as opposed to 2-3k in any NY or new england market (sans new years) Same with Bisco, Franti, String Cheese, Raq, Sound Tribe sold out red rocks, last time i saw tribe in Albany NY and Burlington VT there were 400 and 600 kids there, Umphreys is huge, All the bands do better here. The Jamband scene is not strong in the North East anymore. Mabye in like Ithaca, Burlington but thats it
Colorado jamband scene= With Open Arms and more kickin then anywhere else, much better place to create a buzz, and a central location for touring opportunities
-
Colorado is where it\'s at to build a fanbase.
Great venues and great fans that know good jam music.
There is a reason bands that concentrate on building this fanbase are doing well now.
I am so glad it seems The Breakfast are starting to think that way also. Even the 3 show jaunt they did earlier this year I bet did wonders for their visibility and Word of Mouth advertising so important to bands their size.
-
i am all about it. if they can go to the west coast and have big shows with little promotion (fall 06 tour, from what i heard/read), then why stay here and have doozie after doozie in their home town?
-
youth becoming. regenerate interest. future bright. tour more. build it. they will come.
-
Next bass player = dude from Twiddle or guy from George Lesiw group on the standup double bass

would be awesome :awwyeah::drool:

If this ever happens, i\'m moving. I would gypsy it up bigtime.
-
I know ron has stated that the reason he doesn\'t want to continue is because he doesn\'t want to tour nationally and the rest of the band does. Still a statement from Tim, Adrian and Matt confirming that they are all still 100% dedicated to keeping the band going and intend to find a replacement and continue on without ronnie would be very reassuring to me.
-
Tim says, “We are sad to lose a musical brother on stage and we wish Ron and his family all the best with everything. He is an inspiration to us all and we will keep the music going in honor of his spirit and hard work. We are currently auditioning bass players and plan to keep touring in 2008.”
I thought this was it. :hscratch:
-
as long as the new bassist can find the pocket, life will be good!
-
they need to find a bass player with no life outside of music...there, i said it
-
leave the band to chill with fam? now thats uber headie
leith, now your show count really sucks haha
now thats dick
-
^ Preston Murphy?! :thumbsup:
would be awesome :awwyeah::drool:
Oh yeah that\'s his name. Would be awesome indeed, if he can play electric bass anywhere near as good as he plays the double bass!
you cannot be ser about the guy from twiddle.
semi-ser, yes. But Preston gets my vote.
-
:lol: yup, him or Caitlin get my vote. Here\'s a pic from his myspace

^who is this guy, ive never heard of him.

then why stay here and have doozie after doozie in their home town?
There\'s an old saying, you can take the kid out of staven, but you can\'t take staven out of the kid, or something along those lines. Unfortunately for quite many folks, you can\'t even get the kid(s) out of staven, there is some sort of fucked up attachment to this town/area that I can\'t even fathom, it makes no sense. I can go through my high school yearbook (and probably davepeck\'s for that matter) and pick out only a handful of people who have legitimately left either East Haven itself or a 15 mile radius of East Haven. It may be like this elsewhere, but I\'m pretty sure not this town\'s extent.

see the thing is (and ive seen this happen a lot), is a band cannot rely on hometown groupies forever. there is NO way a band can suceed this way. Honestly, im suprised the breakfasts staven crowd stuck around for this long. eventually you need to market to younger crowds and expand from your hometown area. i know they have been trying to do this, but the time is NOW to really change direction and start focusing on promotion outside the CT proper.
Look folks, the Psychedelic Breakfast is over. Jordan and Ron are gone. Everyone is older, inculding the band and the fans. It was an unbelievable thing while it lasted. Tim and Adrian are TOP NOTCH touring musicians. They can keep the name The Breakfast, in fact i think that is a great idea. But they need to move out from their highschool and college buddies and start making this a real career, just like Ron did with teaching. I agree with a lot of Leiths points. Start booking some serious tours in Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, New Orleans, Chicago, California, Seattle, etc. Get the talk about The Breakfast nationally and begin building a new fan base.
Rememer, most of the fans you will get from here on out will probably have no idea who Jordan is, and a lot will not know much about Ron either. So it really doesnt matter that they will not be in the band for a national tour. If they can find a very solid bass player and hit the road, they will blow up, mark my words.
Rest in Peace PB
Here comes The Breakfast
-
Look folks, the Psychedelic Breakfast is over. Jordan and Rob are gone.
wait. who?

Jordan and Rob are gone.
Who\'s Rob?

oh man, sorry, typo
the n is right next to the b on the keyboard, give me a break!
-
It\'s all good in the hood
-
There is no need to worry. Feel the excitement. Embrace the change.

your a zen master spacey. either that your you know something I don\'t.

valid point...
now that we are out of the departure thread...
my thoughts after jordan left and this 08\' buzz: i knew that ron was going to have to be replaced weather is was under his own voluntary terms or other events that would of led to this. I honestly and wholesomely think that the vocals are a huge culprit in the success of this band. For me personally I was able to digest the sound right away and I was immediately stimulated by it. But some people just don\'t comprehend in that order...
I guess you can pretty much say thats tough love but I don\'t mean any disrespect within any stretch of thought...
-

I told you people, but you refuse to listen. Spacey is the new bassist. He\'s also a zen disaster.

I agree 100% Phil. If they moved to Colorado I would become part of the Breakfast team so fast, promoting, merch, handing them beer at gigs, WHATEVER. can you make this happen?
Next bass player = dude from Twiddle or guy from George Lesiw group on the standup double bass
Twiddle\'s new bass player or old one??

The Breakfast are not moving.
The Breakfast will still be a quartet.

haha you always say these almighty, yet very vague statements.
and they always turn out to be true.
-
Jesus. Everyone is really getting ahead of themselves here. A couple people mention moving out west and we already have someone seriously asking, "Can you make this happen?" This thread is a tad absurd already imo.
I agree that Colorado is where it\'s at, I lived there for awhile and the mediocre bands would pull thick crowds consistently.
But have we forgotten that Adrian just had a kid too? You guys realize he already has a family, right? I know nothing about what Adrian and Tim do outside of music and how they feel about home in New Haven, but this is ridiculous. Bottom line is they still do not make money, and if everyone was still 21 or 22 years old, with themselves only as responsibilities, then they\'d have the ability to say "Fuck it, let\'s give it a shot." But it didn\'t happen when they were in that position.
So now we must look at reality which in short is: this is all totally up to the human beings in the band. Right now, they are "auditioning" for a new bass player (I\'m wondering from some comments if the auditions are already over) and they plan on continuing to make music.
Oh, and if Spacey is the new bassist the band is doomed. How does he find time to practice when he\'s posting on .info 22 hours a day?? ;)
-
lets keep getting ahead of ourselves!!!! breakfast land has gone LOONNNYYY!!!! THE FUTURE IS UP IN THE AIR crazeeeeness
-
oh god, everyones losing their minds. we should just do a cage fight to the death with all .infoers...last man/woman standing plays bass in the band.
-
weapons allowed?
-
if you guys can\'t figure it out, here\'s teh scoop... who would be someone who could step onstage and play with the level of the breakfast?? who could help the band survive?? who has declared, onstage with this band, that they will, in fact, survive??
[size=0]sense we\'re getting loony....[/size]

i hate those moments when you\'re totally unsure if a comment is sarcastic or not... :sarcasm:

Just know that everything\'s sarcastic, and none of it is ever real. It\'s all just a pigment of your imagination. Except for everything Spacey says, of course - you always must believe what he says. ;)

Ahhhh, the soothing voice of reason. Nice to see a little sanity amoungst all this nonsense.
p.s. never and I mean N E V E R underestimate Spacey\'s capabilities

If you are implying Mike Gordon, you really are looney. Don\'t get me wrong it would be sweet and it would obviously take them to a whole new level but we all know that Mike is saving himself for Phish Summer 08

i wouldn\'t be so sure with myself if i were you, mr DSalotofnumbers. mr. anastasio certainly does want to get the band back together, i can assure you of that, but Summer 08 IS probably a bit premature....
concerning the breakfast, i\'m sure there are already people \'trying out\' and i am excited for full tours of shows beginning early in 2008.
Ron Spears is a smart man, and i have faith in his decisions for himself, and this band. If he really does feel like he is holding the band back from what the rest of them want to do, than it would appear he is trying to help them move forward by stepping aside, and allowing someone else who is willing and able, to go in the direction they believe they must, to reach the goals they have in mind.

Phish reunion=Page says NO.
You\'re are correct though about Ron. He went through the horrible rough time when Jordan left. I really do not think he would put his best friends through the same thing with him leaving. That\'s why I believe his replacement is already set and is practicing a list of tunes getting ready for the beginning of the new year. It makes sense to have Ron finish out the year and give everyone that wants to a chance to say goodbye to Ron at a show.
-
nye = set 1 w/ron, set 2 w/ ron + new guy (mike), encore w/new guy (mike)!
heard it here first.
also, mike just bought a new winnebago for easier touring! dot confirmed!

lol such nannies. it would be nice though.

nothing is 100% confirmed but it looks to be very close to it.
lets say 95%.

I know that Daniel Street has been wanting the band back there. They also gave us a weekend spot, which is nice.

I\'ve mentally turned the corner today. I\'m looking forward to seeing the last five setlists/hearing the downloads, seeing off Ron in a positive light, and then hearing what this change will bring. Tim and Adrian are so goddamn good. Matt is very good and has pushed experimentation. My worries are fading. I\'m expecting something fresh and explosive come the new year.
I\'m thinking about the last few times I\'ve seen the band. In Chicago I remember actually saying that Ron didn\'t look into it without any knowledge of this. Madison he stepped up but still seemed distant. FF9 there was a moment where Tim held his arms up and stared at Ron to do the same after Ron told Tim onstage he didn\'t know what to do with a jam (anyone remember what I\'m talking about more specifically?) and the whole scene seemed a bit awkward. I remember Ron bouncing immediately after the show too with a tag of permanent exit in his demeanor. Things are changing for a reason. It\'s not god, it\'s people. This month is going to be strangely exciting. January even more so.

mystery and detection are fun.

i think the bands best move for success would be to find a replacement bassist that has a killer voice

Someone recommended I get an instant major fluff for flying out to FF9 last minute.

I feel like a loser. But there\'s no one else (physically) around here to discuss my thoughts on the band that I love. So here I am. Being a loser. And procrastinating on my studies.

:nope: I don\'t think he can throw a tomato from MA to WI though. :chin:
quantum physics says it is a possibility, though
:awwyeah: this would be a great way to get to shows quicker

by the way jenny, I\'m FINALLY moving downtown next month.. which means I will FINALLY be able to return that much appreciated favor, from way back when, of crashing on a nearby couch post (any) show in Chi-town. I\'ve always felt bad that I couldn\'t do so after you were the greatest host ever to me and my inebriated cohorts.
So come January, "I Got The Hook Up, Holla\' If Ya\' Hear Me!"

no worries. really.
but i will take you up on it!! :)
-
i knew people really threw tomatoes.. my "if only" was in regards to quantum physics getting one to shows.... um.... more economically? anyways, im bringing the tomato chuck back. i swear, next time tim misses a note with me in attendance--it\'s on!
-
so not to bring up the most depressing news ever again, but i was wondering if anyone coughspaceycough had any juicy info on the new bassist.
for example,
his name
song learning progress
opinions from tim and adrian
new tunes
old tune bustouts
new cheesy covers
-
If you go to the shows, you\'re more likely to get info... rather than asking on a public message board, guy ;) I have a feeling that if/when the Breakfast has a new bassist, we\'ll all be first to find out with an announcement from the band. Let\'s send Ron out with some class, and not start thinking about his "replacement" just yet. ::/my .02::
-
i\'m stabbing myself w/ a rusty spoon when Ron leaves.
-
well they\'re scheduled for a show on the 11th. i don\'t think the guys would make a date that soon unless the kid can throw down.... only time will tell
-
Vote for me and all of your wildest dreams will come true.
-
Spacey is coming along quite nicely on bass. Should be good.

so you heard the practice session recordings Tuesday night I take it.
I think I have progressed nicely. The Spacey Spunk.
oops, I have said to much.

Yup. You\'re sounding pretty nice!!
-
OK, OK! I can\'t keep my mouth shut anymore.
As soon as we have the baby my wife will be the new bass player for the Breakfast.
Jess has been working really hard. She has nailed Scheme as if she wrote the song. Spunk has never sounded funkier and Tribal... wait til you hear the harmonies! Sorry Spacey.. I know you were livin the dream but I couldn\'t hold out anymore.

I thought we all agreed to use the tatic of a decoy until the baby was born.
Well, there you have it people, the truth is out there.

you know i don\'t go to shows. this board is where most bfast news hits leaks out before band makes announcements. and i\'m pretty sure this is the "post-ron era" thread, not the "i love you ron spears, please don\'t go" thread.
ps. i love you ron spears, please don\'t go

for example,
his name
song learning progress
opinions from tim and adrian
new tunes
old tune bustouts
new cheesy covers
Yes, his name is Jeff Dirizirizirizus
He\'s learned all of the songs, and taught the band a few of his own (don\'t want to ruin the surprise, but E.A.D. will be a force to reckon with after the new year).
Cheesy covers will be the bands new M.O. Look for plenty of ABBA and Weird Al stuff.

Can\'t wait to hear the new guy. I\'m sure he is something special.
Ron\'s last show is 10 days away. I think its totally kosher for everyone to be thinking about his "replacement".
I\'m really suprised no announcement has been made.

i think it would be halarious to not say anything about the new bassist till his first show, then have him come out in a cape, with a mask over his face, and do a ceremonial unveiling right before the first set break.

Come on. You can\'t really be all that surprised.
-
Why does his replacement need to be announced right now? Come to Sully\'s/Daniel Street in Jan. and meet him personally, if you haven\'t already.
FWIW, E-A-D is a tune that me and Dobson wrote and we still play. Tim is beginning to catch onto it, so don\'t be surprised to hear some teases if you can catch them.
It is a great instrumental and we have only really jammed the shit out of it once at Dobzmahal recording studios. People were impressed.

Yeah CT. in January. I\'m so there. :rolleyes:
-
i heard that me and peaches are both going to be the new bass player. between the 2 of us we should be able to sound like 1 good bassist

I was slightly impressed until the two of you took off your shirts and started doing rock star jumps. :yack:
Yeah CT. in January. I\'m so there. :rolleyes:
They make insulated flannels you know!

Well, we have seasons, it is very nice. We don\'t have a botox climate here.
Hookers cost money, which isn\'t worth it, so we took Catholic school girls instead from the high school after high jacking a bus.
we threw a party, shit got nuts.

Insulated flannels...shirtless rock star jumps...stealing catholic school buses...meat spins...no wonder Ron is leaving.

HAHA!
these are all non-Breakfast related projects
-
Come to Osirus Cafe on Wed nights.......
-
so the next gig (first gig with the new bass guy) is less than a week away, and still no anouncement. at this point i think its almost better to just have it be a suprise at the show when he comes out on stage.
-
It\'ll be a surprise alright when the band comes on stage with no Bass Player and announces they will now be playing Doors Covers from now on.
"That\'s right! The gypsies had no homes, The Doors had no bass. But don\'t let that scare you, my friend let that liberate you! \'Cause when you\'re free flying with the Doors, man - what do you need a safety net for?"
-
Oh God what a nightmare!
-
Oh God what a nightmare!
:lol:
-
Oh God what a nightmare!
Oh totally. I had just been waiting to use that quote since the announcement was made.
Figured it was time.
-
Well done. I am always impressed when someone can pull up a quote like that and have it fit perfectly. I can never really do that.
-
I\'d been waiting to use that quote, but never got around to looking it up word for word, and by now I figured somebody had already done it. Either way, well done Leith. I\'m not sure if I should be honored or scared that we\'re thinking the same thoughts.

-
So the Breakfast\'s Myspace page says that they will announce the new bassist in the next 24 hours... Is this old news and they just haven\'t announced it yet or are they actually going to announce it really soon? Anyone? Someone?
Bueller?
-
Finishing the press release and then the name will be announced.
-
right on
-
how about a picture too, so I can better pre-judge this dude before I even see him Friday night ??
