Title: The Breakfast Announce New Bassist
Post by: davepeck on January 08, 2008, 08:26:12 am

Chris DeAngelis will make his debut with The Breakfast this Friday, January 11 at Sully\'s in Hartford, CT, followed by a residency at Daniel Street Music Hall in Milford, CT in February.  DeAngelis, a CT native has spent time with VT\'s Turkey Bouillon Mafia and shared the stage with members of P-Funk, DBB\'s Eric Kalb, Dave Grippo (TAB), Fred Hersch, Chris Parker, and others. The Breakfast\'s other recent addition - Matt Ostreicher, on keyboards - had this to say: “We\'re very excited to have found someone like Chris.  It feels like an omen of sorts.  Chris is an outstanding bass player!  I’ve heard him play everything from Bossa Nova, to Hip-Hop, to straight up Rock.  His abilities as a soloist and as a songwriter will also be beautiful additions to the energy of this band."  DeAngelis adds, "When I was first asked to join this band I immediately knew the answer.  I’ve always strived to find a group of musicians with as much ability and passion as these guys.  I felt very comfortable right away, so I can only imagine what great things will come out of this experience.”

The band has scheduled a series of northeast events to initiate Chris into the Breakfast fold and will resume a national touring schedule this summer.

yeah but who knows if he was aware that the breakfast were playing when thy did.  that whole fest was a big clusterfock.  the b-fast pulled up and had no idea where or when htey were playing.  then in all of about 20 minutes they decided to utilize another bands gear partially and start playing.  thankfully i only missed about 3 minutes of it after runniong back to the car/tent to refill on booze.

wait, so it says hes palying the sullys show, followed by the "residency" at daniel st in feb...does this mean hes NOT playing at the daniel st show on the 26th of jan?

Title: The Breakfast Announce New Bassist
Post by: weekapaug19 on January 08, 2008, 12:17:24 pm

I\'m sure he is, they can\'t list every show and that residency is a major spot they have, also this gives some more publicity for the residency shows

Have no fear.

The band has been practicing, writing new songs. The future is the only place to look. Don\'t be surprised if you never hear a few Breakfast tunes for a long time as they concentrate on writing new material.

Give Chris a few shows and he will make all the songs his bass.

Good guy, custom built bass and ready to get on board.

yeah thats him...one thing that i noticed (im sure others who listened did too), is how good his voice sounds..the breakfast NEEDED a bass palyer who could sing at least as good as ron, and its looking promising.  also, he sounds like he has bass chops for sure.  hes not doing a whole lot in those songs, but you can tell just by his "feel" that hes not an amateur.  im pretty pumped.

Title: The Breakfast Announce New Bassist
Post by: jking on January 08, 2008, 07:10:07 pm

this is very interesting and exciting. i can\'t believe his myspace page, his shit is cool and sooooo not Breakfast which is sweet, nerve-wrecking, and hopeful but frightening. it seems they\'ve found a solid vocalist which is awesome. wow, this is crazy. i can\'t wait to hear new tunes and see what kind of turn this brings on.

welcome aboard chris, i\'m fucking psyched for change. i just moved into my new place downtown yesterday and this announcement was made yesterday. movin\' along. good stuff.

i\'ve been lucky enough to meet chris and hear some oldies as well as some new originals. they will be A OK. As much as I miss ronnie.. I agree with Space man and the future is the only place to look.

Thick -n- tasty tone, outstanding musicianship and he looks a bit like an Aruny..only better smelling.

Custom build bass. I don\'t want to taint your first impressions of him, so go tonight and see for yourself, then we can discuss it.

Post by: OMS on January 11, 2008, 05:11:36 pm

i gotta be honest. im skeptical.  i clearly hope for the best as i feel that this band more then any band i listen to genuinely deserves the respect and devotion that larger scale bands achieve.  however, with that being said, i hate to say this, but i am losing hope.  

I love this band so much, musically they (especially Tim) have taught me so much and being a guitar player, he has beyond inspired me.  Shit keeps happening with this band.  One person leaves, then they seem like all is well, now another person leaves, leaving only 2 members of the breakfast still in the band itself.  The two in the band really are the heart of the band in my opinion and I\'ve always thought so, and that\'s where my shred of hope comes from.  

I know it\'s innappropriate to post this in the new bass player thread but THIS BAND DESERVES GREAT THINGS.  Musically they are superior to the majority of the bands in their \'genre\' (sorry to compartmentalize but for arguments sake) and i dont know, im just so fed up with all of this bull shit.  I really really hope that this guy is good.  

I would love for years to still see one of my favorite bands all the time.  It gives me purpose when I listen to and see that there is music that makes me happy.  I personally feel Matt was a great addition and only helped the band.  This post has turned into a hopeful one rather then a rant i guess, but please, just write some really solid songs (you guys really need to) and make sure this dude is up to par and things should be ok.  Please, for my sake if no one else\'s (haha).  I love the breakfast.

end of rant...i apologize in advance if i upset anyone

Post by: Klout on January 11, 2008, 05:33:25 pm

I feel a lot more positive about this phase than I did about the trio and they survived that. See how tonight goes though. We might both have totally different opinions by this time tomorrow.
