I have never heard of the opening bands. And if I know anything about opening bands, its usually they bring in few people, but maybe because it is NYE all there friends will want to get out of there house and come to the webster.
Well, for my 1st post, I guess I could speak on this topic somewhat... I am in one of the opening bands, The Mark Paradis Band. Since we have no friends, you don\'t have to worry we\'ll bring in too many sketchy folks! We are an original band (one might say jamband, but who uses that term, anyway!) and also play a bunch of Phish, Dead, etc. It is an outgrowth of Liberty Bus, and Mark was also the lead guitarist for The Feed, two other CT jambands a few of you might have heard of.
The way the Webster works is [god, I hate that place, too!] is kind of an extortion ring, you have to sell your own tix (or end up buying them yourself) and this is the basis for your stage/timeslot. We are slated for the Underground stage, no Idea what time ;-) Come say hi, if you are there early. I\'ll be the keyboard player behind the red keyboard rig. (Name is Greg)
Beside that, I could find very little on any of the other openers, except maybe the Cosmo sunshine thingie, they\'re the only ones with a jambase entry and a findable website.
Our website is being rebuilt, (
http://www.markparadisband.com) but there are sample tunes on Mark\'s myspace page:

I\'m pshyched (spell much?) to finally see the Breakfast, been DL\'ing some shows. Sounds great. Se\'yall in the ghetto,
Greg
