ANYONE?
I want and expect them to do a few things in 06 based on what they did this year :
-winter 06 at least a short tour of the west coast.
-Spring 06 extensive continuous north east/ southeast tour, langerado?
-Summer 06 Multiple major festivals nationwide, i.e. roo, wakaruska, 10klf, All good, high sierra? and shows around those festivals. moe down mainstage
-Fall 06 Huge continuos tour (i.e. month+ long) ...Starting in midwest and comi ng back east.
-Holiday 06- SOLID runs for halloween, thanksgiving and nye at \'step up venues\' i.e. rev hall
maybe its just wishful thinking but i think now is the time to bust a move and take over country for the breakfast.
thoughts?
-
A huge batch of new tunes that will mirror both old and new bfast styles.
Hopefully a large increase in merchandising including Buquebus hoodies.
The debut of "Tim\'s Rock Opera"
At least one show in an ampitheater, opening up for ABB or Phil??
No stolen equipment....
-
yea the first ever ampitheater show is gonna be the SHIT. but i dont know if thats gonna happen this summer...
-
maybe I could work something with SPAC, since I do security for them and shit.
too bad rev. hall is closing, or so ive heard.
expect big things from the breakfast next year, welll I hope so anyways. im not too sure a western tour during over the winter is a good idea, altho it depends how many shows. id like to see some NE/SE shows this winter, then come spring head out for a little west run then back to NE to kick off summer tour, then head tour west this summer.... that way I\'ll be touring with the breakfast.

Yeah OK.
You work on that. We\'ll all be waiting w/ bells on to hear how that works out.
As for my predictions. I bet they play some shows somewhere.

the return of lovelake!
-
Kote>Love Lake>Late and the Great>Gypsy Girl>Prom 97>Vortex
inca roads
maybe a new album
a moedown mainstage afternoon set would be nice.
more and bigger festivals. (bonaroo).
less solo shows, more breakfast breakfast shows.
a good long tour opening for a larger act such as moe.

Should that be ABB or PHIL opening for the Breakfast -I think So
;)

any reason for the double post, brah?
Here is what is going to happen in 2006....
The Breakfast are going to catch a well deserved and needed break. The double billed tour with New Monsoon is going to come be. They will spend 2 weeks in the summer in the mid-west. They are going to spend a month out in the West touring up and down the west coast. They will be at ACL, 10K Lakes, Bonnaroo, mainstage (if they get invited back) at moe.down. They will once again play every small festival they can muster up to do.
The Spring we will see the band playing the east coast. Building money and energy for the tours to come. Any festival they can play between Spring and Summer. In early Summer the band will be in the Mid-West before heading out West. Of course, the tour should be built around the festivals. I think Colorado will see the b\'fast in 2006. Then the West Coast party begins. After the west coast the band will find themselves heading home just in time for Halloween. then they will hit the road once more for a NY to Iowa run before coming home for a Turkey Tour and then NYE.
Any questions?

woah

anything less then 100 shows will be a failure in my eyes. It is a lot of work, but if you want to make it as a touring band in this industry, you need to learn to live with being tired, besides I thought Beauty Sleep is all they need.

I totally agree. The Breakfast is NOT gonna blow up playing just the weekends 90% of the year. End of Story.
-
at least some major festivals, a few smaller northeastern ones.
-
Main stage on a few festies
a handful of flat tires
some stolen gear
a record number of shows
a double album
a tv appearance
mountains of drenched panties
a trail of melted faces that crisscrosses the country
tons of .info belly achin\'
drunk chicks fallin\' on pedals and flashin\' their yams
2 more entire album covers
etc.
etc.

way to keep it positive, slim

i think \'05 was a good year by playing HUGE sets in somewhat smaller slots at the festies they were at. they should move up into bigger slots b/c there will be hype around them, whether that\'s the time theyll play or the stage theyre gonna play on... whatever. they also won a lot of fans out here in the MW. they should stay out here a little longer and try to hook up for 2 nights in the same city if possible. i just really hope they get something like a co-bill with another band thats growing too, for a tour (like NM or TLG or opening for Umphrey\'s would be huge). i also really hope they come out with a new album, or at least make an official release of some of their sickest live shit from this past year. opening for a big band (someone said Phil or ABB) would be huge, i doubt thats going to happen though. either way, they definitely made progress this year, theyll keep doing it. slowly but surely they will be a big name eventually, even if it takes 5 years -- thats fine. ill enjoy their under-the-radar status for the time being.
if they keep progressing musically thats all we could ask for, everything else depends on being noticed and definitely everyone around them doing their job of getting them noticed. the music is there, people just need to learn to give a band called "The Breakfast" a chance. i still struggle getting an honest ear from a lot of people i come across, it blows but i just hope theyre free on the night TB is in town. anyone who had doubts about the band before a show had nothing to say except "When are they coming back?!?!" after the show.
and damn, a set in an arena would be insane.. listening to Buquebus today gave me all kinds of crazy hopes for the future.. imagine 10-20,000 people hearing Gladys>Buquebus>TGSOT (i know, 11.11.05 is always on my mind) shake the rafters.. it\'s a fantasy that could happen, just not in \'06. patience.
-
They will not play oneonta, even though they should. Every fan counts! Please come back!
...and I hope they will play ACL. ACL would be perfect as they pay attention to real original talent. The fans are really great, the scene is mellow and I think everyone there is open to new music. I can\'t think of any band like the TB and I know folks there would be blown away...:)

i wanna see breakfast late night at nugroove this year instead of raq. Id like to see the breakfast hit some of the bigger fests, the bonaroos, and allgoods and high sierras. and id like a tour that i could follow for a week or so that coincided with my plans.
-
I am definitely looking for a tour that I can spend a week on the road with. Use up some of these vacation days that I recently aquired.
-
If they want to hit the southeast or the west, the key is to have a carefully planned tour where they open up for the right bands in the right regions. The idea of touring with New Monsoon is great, especially out west. If they try to headline gigs in towns where they haven\'t played in years, they could end up with doozies.
If they play the south, they need to try opening for perpetual groove again. (I don\'t even like p-groove but it will be a wise business decision to open up for them in the south). Also, New Monsoon has been blowing up in the southeast so the Breakfast could open for them here and reach a lot of new fans.
Another option is to try to tour with Brothers Past in the south. BP has toured hard down here for a long time, and they have a good following. If the Breakfast could tour with Brothers Past in Georgia, North Carolina, etc. they will reach the type of fans that like ultra modern progressive jam rock.
-
I was looking through old setlists last night and I was wondering why they don\'t tour the south like the previousily did in 2001, like they did Florida. If they could find a co-bill or a supporting act to tour with in the south that is feasible, they should consider doing it again. However, after the last run through the south it may not be the wisest business decision at the moment.
-
The last extended southern tour was 2003 when they did alternating sets with Seth Yacavone Band. That did not help them, because nobody down here ever heard of Seth Yac. But I\'m telling you New Monsoon, Brothers Past, The Slip, bands like that have good followings down here and if the Breakfast can get twin bills or alternating sets with them, they can instantly expand their fanbase. But you\'re right in that they can\'t come down here alone, or they might just lose money.

yea the first ever ampitheater show is gonna be the SHIT. but i dont know if thats gonna happen this summer...
at the newtown town hall theater show, that\'s all me and the other 49 people that were there could talk about.....the first amphitheatre show. with rujah helping out, can SPAC be far away?
