The Breakfast have decided to pay homage to animation and the music behinds the cartoons. The theme will be for the whole Halloween weekend for there are so many great songs its impossible to fit it into one show! Iron Horse (10th Birthday) in Northampton, MA (PB first gig Amherst, MA) on Thursday 10/30, The Sco at Oberlin College in Ohio on Friday 10/31, and Higher Ground in Burlington, VT on Saturday 11/1. Costume contests each night, limited edition merchandise, and zaney music. Lets Freak Out!!!!!

Sorry Chip, that was my first thought too, but it\'s not going to happen. I mentioned doing it to tim and Ellis a while ago. Ellis shot it down as projectors interfere with his lighting design. He gave a green light for whatever I want to do during set break but absolutely no projectors during the set. Out with the "save says no", in with the "upstate says no"

They\'ll pull it off for sure, but those who don\'t really know the band are probably going to laugh at this event.
"The Breakfast Performs Cartoons"
Sounds pretty cheesy and childish from an outsider\'s perspective imo.
They should just play all of Fantasia with a PROJECTOR behind them. Weak sauce on the "no projector" biz too, nothing like UN-enhancing possibilities. Why can\'t somebody set up a couple of average size screens on each side of the stage hooked up to a computer or something?

Yeah I can\'t really say any of the FF pre-announced "themes" have really got me more excited for the show....
except the Lawn Boy rumor, I was stoked for that...
But, really its the Breakfast, whatever they do is gonna be sick, and its halloween and its my home town. As long as they play something that resembles a Breakfast show I\'ll be psyched.

Well this choice of themes is certainly right on par with the decision to split the run up and play oberlin on halloween night.
No way I am going to drive 10+ hours round trip to burlington and drop several hundred bucks or miss class on friday morning after noho to hear them play scooby dooby doo, where are you and flinstones, meet the flinstones. Get Real.

I think this is a good theme! Although I agree it would be sweet with the screens, it also may be a little restricting for the band. Keeping them within the structure of the video.
Here are my suggestions for songs:

whateva..i\'m psyched! i don\'t care what ellis says, they should definitely use a projector. i love the fantasia idea. shit could get pretty nasty during the mop scene... one of you video geeks can put together some kind of crazy classic cartoon montage, right??
klout-i\'ve never dressed up for any of the freakouts according to the themes. in fact, i honestly really didn\'t like the 3 as a magic number at first. i\'ve also never seen any star wars movies (completely by choice) and didn\'t dress up all nerdy like a lot of people did. um last year i was blanche. do your own thing if you\'re not down with the cartoons, but don\'t bail just because of the theme broseph. this is gonna be fun.
now i just wish i didn\'t already go as wonder woman. :banghead:

I think it will be a fun time for the people who actually show up. we all have our personal favorite cartoon songs that would be kinda neat to hear...but I really do not see this theme as motivating many people to drive all the way up to burlington the day after halloween (especially after already have done it at noho), myself included, and probably the same deal for the 20 people I brought up there last year, and who knows how many other out of towners and locals alike.
A theme of Sick breakfast songs and sick breakfast jams or queeb saga or a cooler gimmick or even a great cover album would have motivated me to make the journey or miss class...
but this cartoonage shit is for the birds

Klout I agree with you 100%. This is perhaps the weakest sauce thus far for a Freakout... Way worse than the circus themed Freakout.
I was hoping for a Funkadelic Vs. Frank (Zappa) Freakout... FFFF

see now THAT would be badass joe. THAT would motivate me and others to actually make an effort to come out for this.
cartoon songs is going to get old 10 minutes into noho.....by the end of the show saturday there is going to be 15 people in the crowd
a zappa vs p-funk battle with better and better come backs would rage full throttle till the bitter end. then a killer set of bfast and maybe inca roads or something to cap it all off
who the fuck is going to be that jazzed up to hear ninja turtles for an encore at 1:30 am on Nov 2nd

You\'re putting way too much stock in this theme Klout. You\'re really missing the point. The theme doesn\'t make or break the show. It\'s still a Breakfast show with tons of Breakfast songs, and everyone dresses up and just has a great time. Breakfast fans don\'t need the theme to "motivate them to go" and they don\'t decide not to go just because they don\'t like the theme. You\'re perfectly entitled not to like it, but deciding to boycott all the shows because of the theme is pretty asinine. FF 1-4 didn\'t even have themes and those shows were all fantastic. If you have a better party or show to go to then that\'s a good reason not to go, but if you want to go to The Breakfast then just go and don\'t worry about the theme so much.
See you in Noho and Burlington! I for one will be having fun! Anyone want to dress up as the Thundercats?

Klout, I jambased some options for you closer to your area on 11/1. I\'m sure these shows will be way better than The Breakfast since they don\'t have lame themes. Plus you won\'t have to do the long trip.
How about KD Lang in Greenvale? The Machine at SUNY Delhi? Sirsy in Rochester?
Hehe there are some other good bands in upstate NY on 11/1 like Government Mule, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and Derek Trucks. Without lame themes these shows should be much better options for you. Let us know which one you go to and how it is!

wolfie I know it will still be fun and have breakfast songs but right now I dont have lots of surplus funds and time like I used to. Both are very tight at the moment actually. I have to pick and choose. Factors like the difference between an awesome, cant miss theme vs. a wicked lame theme like this one has an influence on my decisions. If that makes me less of fan in your eyes so be it.

If you like Sharon Jones, you should definitely check out Orgone. Tight, rich, afro-funky. Ubiquity recording artists (which is one of my favorite labels).

composers like Carl Stalling are completely underappreciated. The music they wrote was very complex to perform and they were usually writing an entire piece ever 1-2 weeks! music that today would be considered progressive (or at least Stravinsky-esque if you needed someone to compare them to) due to the way it was written. The simple formula of "whenever we see a woman you play woman in red/factory you play powerhouse" and so on not only introduced a generation to classical pieces of music, it would force the musicians to change key, tempo, timbre and time signature sometimes every couple of bars simply to keep up with the pacing of the cartoons. Add to that their use of sound fx could be seen as a precursor of sampling which had not been seen used in another style of music since Tchaikovskys 1812 overture cannons and would not be again until Cage and Varese\'s electronics pieces. Try to play along with a looney tunes cartoon sometime to see just how complex this music is.

this will be interesting to see what songs they chose, especially since there now is a big deviation in the age groups of fans. they should try to cover a lot of different eras, shows, stations, etc.

Post by: DocEllis70 on September 17, 2008, 10:23:39 am
its gona be a fun Breakfast run with lots of teases, in this case, cartoons. Itll be cool to hear which ones they do and how they arrange it. Doubt theyll be doing Rugrats and Dora, but the Pink Panther theme song is cool and many of the composed songs could work real well in a Breakfast set.

I really don\'t know what to make of this theme. It feels too gimmicky and immature. But I have never been disappointed by the Breakfast when it comes to a big (Halloween, NYE, etc.) show. Wish I could be there for more than just the Iron Horse, but Yale volleyball calls (at Harvard/at Dartmouth... big weekend).

Um, wonderwoman is real, not a cartoon.
Superman was feeling bored after a long streak of crime fighting and wanted to go out and party, so he called Batman to ask if he wanted to go to a club and pick up some girls.
Batman said Robin was ill and he had to look after him. A little disappointed, Superman called Spiderman to see if he fancied a few beers. Spiderman told him he had a date with Cat Woman.
As a last resort, Superman flew over to Wonder Woman\'s apartment to see if she was free. As he landed on her balcony, he saw Wonder Woman naked on the bed with her legs open.
Superman thought to himself: "I\'m faster than a speeding bullet, I could be in there, have sex, and be out again before she knew what was happening."
So Superman did his super thing in a split second and flew off happily.
Meanwhile on the bed, Wonder Woman said: "Did you hear something?"
"No!" said the Invisible Man, "But my ass hurts like hell!"

What a coincidence, I hope to get drunk and then listen to these shows soon... just to get as close to the live experience as possible. In the same vain, I may or may not dress up like Judy Jetson first.
