The future is bright. Really looking forward to this new line up. Think it will be the best yet. Hope the rest of 08 goes smashingly and stoops is on board for 2009 and beyond.

Does "Todd Stoops will then take over and finish out the year performing with The Breakfast" mean he is joining the band or just filling in for the rest of 2008?
That\'s a pretty important distinction that the press release never really makes.

i think the release is only supposed to address the rest of the year, with the future TBD.

Does this mean that there will be yet another album with a former band member on it, or will the demo tracks recorded earlier this year be scrapped?

Was Matt the only reason you liked the band? I\'m sure he\'ll hook up with someone and you can follow that band.
As for Klouts comment about him being spaced out, I can understand where he\'s coming from. The two times I talked to him, I had to explain what I was saying multiple times for him to catch on... Does that take away from his ability, no, but we also don\'t know what went on between the four of them, so let\'s take it for what it\'s worth.

I won\'t go to the Springfield show because I talked up this new lineup so fucking much and have to spend 10 minutes to explain how they arrived at this juncture. Just when things finally started to settle, now this....

Matt added a much needed level of jazz and musical professionalism to this band. His songwriting was top notch, and he is an incredible human being. I was at the Daniel St show the first time he sat in with the band during "Buquebus". Only one of his keyboards worked, but damn if he didn\'t class up that song like nothing else. He has musical intuition, which is the key component to improvisation, and let me tell you, not a lot of people have it. The reason why we\'ve been getting such amazing Type II jams: Matt and Chris.

they are still going to rage type 2 jams and its going to be much more tasteful, less wanky, and much tighter, and way more raging.

I think stoops will be awesome for the band.
I have been told he is a huge jerk. but he is sick on the keys, he will fit in better (imho)with the band, and he will bring in new fans!
as long as he learns sundance he\'s cool in my book.

First impression is this sucks. I thought Matt brought the band to some of the best places. Then again I would love to hear some more organ and ambiance from the keys.
I\'m sure I\'ll get over it and continue seeing The Breakfast, or whatever they may be called in the future, as long as Tim\'s pluckin the gee-tar and Adrian\'s bangin\' on them beat barrels. Obviously Dangle Doo is expected to stick around!

Just like in life, I had moments of great joy and moments when I struggled while playing with the Breakfast. It has less to do with the Breakfasts music and more to do with my own stuff. It was learning process for me. I don\'t know that I will end up as a musician at all. I want to get out of the way and let them be a great band.
I really value the interactions that I\'ve had with all of you this year. Thank you for connecting with me. if anyone wants to find me i\'ll be reachable through my myspace or email(moestrei@hotmail.com) I am going to finish out the Breakfast tour starting from the west coast.

i think that albeit sad, that this is a HUGE step for the band. Stoops/Palmeiri/Tromantano/Dangle-doo is a fierce lineup. Hopefully some Raq faithful will join board and add some hype to the future shows. Burlington should be a SER scene.
Having these 4 guys play together should have most other jambands attention. I can only see this as a positive.
and joe. you\'re out of line. as usual i\'m not surprised to see you find an excuse to miss a breakfast show.

i figure that I should throw in a quick 2 cents. Thank you everyone for your support. throughout the year. It has been an amazing year+. During my time with the Breakfast I gave it everything I had. I was completely consumed with things Breakfast. It was a big commitment. I have realized that the lifestyle and the music is not my thing. I have a lot of respect for the guys and I think they are amazing. It is simply not my thing. Shortly after I realized this, I heard that RAQ was disbanding. I contacted Todd Stoops and asked him if he would be interested in working with the Breakfast. My intention was to leave the Breakfast better off than when I found it. I feel that he is a kick-ass keyboardist and a better fit for this band.

Matt- thank you thank you thank you. I was truly skeptical early on, and you absolutely stepped up to the plate in a BIG way this past year. No doubt your heart was in the music, I agree you brought this band to new heights they didn\'t touch before. Thanks for all you\'ve brought to the table and good luck man!
As far as the future goes, it seems like there is MUCH excitement about Stoops joining. I know freddie has been licking specifically HIS balls on this board for a long time, which is a great sign imo. So, I\'m psyched (but a little weirded out, not gonna lie.. this band will keep you on your fucking toes... JESUS!!!)
That being said, I can\'t believe I\'m in for a fucking Trio show. That\'s absolutely a let-down. Still excited, but only half as much. I thought Seattle \'06 was the last time I\'d be seeing three. Well, fuck it.. bring on the music and roll with the changes.

So is Stoops doing the Mass>Ohio>Vermont Freakout run? Thats a lot of travelling considering he\'s coming from NC. I also gotta question how much practice time will be put in into "Cartoonage" along with the Breakfast repertoire. I am hoping for the best. Welcome aboard Stoops

that being said, i can\'t say i\'m surprised at all by this announcement, and it seems that it was a long time coming. i can\'t even count the number of shows where i\'ve actually witnessed the creative clashing between members of the band.... dissonance that strong radiates and i felt it on many occasions.
while i will miss matt, i am EXTREMELY excited to see what stoops is going to bring to the table. i feel like a floodgate of potential has opened, yet again, for this band.....

i don\'t think he was with the band long enough for everyone to get super attached and be that sad.
i\'ll definitely miss matt, but if it\'s not the best fit for him, i\'m glad he decided to do the right thing instead of pretending. be the best you can be and do what\'s right for yourself. thank you for all you\'ve given us, i\'ve really enjoyed the sound you brought. i\'ll be in jocelyn\'s camp for this one.

Matt will be missed, but it sounds to me like it was his choice to leave the band, not the other way around. That being said, I\'m psyched to see where Stoops can bring this band - this will, by far, be the BEST incarnation of tB!

From a very good source: I hear the band is excited about Stoops on many levels. Musicially and the fact that it may open the band to a new audience. My belief: Everything happens for a reason... While one door closes let\'s all hope that another bigger and better one opens for TB.
Post by: boombox on September 26, 2008, 07:26:26 am
As for Stoops, well, I have always enjoyed Raq and also his sit-ins with Tim et al over the years, so look forward to what he may bring on a possibly permanent basis.
However, what no-one else seems to have picked up on is the sentence: "Tim Palmieri will take double duty responsibilities on both guitar and keyboards through October 13th, with many special guest appearances! " Some of the trio shows contain some of the best music I have ever heard, so we are in for a treat again.
In addition, "special guest appearances!"?? Does ths mean sequoia is a possible for a few shows? He seems to have been around a lot lately eg the Beatles shows. Much as I respect Todd, might this be the time for Jordan to come back? I for one have missed that organ sound and his vocals for too long. Permanent would be good for me, but if not, even a few shows to bring back some of the classic pb material would be nice.

Raq has seen fame the Breakfast is yet to reach and i hope his addition to the band can bring them to those places and show some of the faggot scenester hipsters how a real band owns your fucking face.

Anyway, I was very impressed with what Matt brought to the table and will be very sad to see him leave. I admit that I completely bailed on the band the first time they went trio and I have no intentions of doing that agian.
Maybe with RAQ breaking up (??) the B-fast will get their fan base/publiticy by signing their keyboardist.
Oh well.
So who will be on keys the Freakout? Can I have this clearified?
Post by: bdfreetuna on September 26, 2008, 10:43:38 am
Late 2007 Electric Company May Fly as a classic example... I really think at times Matt brought out the best in Tim and Adrian, challenging them to progress in diverse directions.
To say the 3-piece was the best Breakfast.... seriously?? Yeah there were a few epic shows but overall I felt this was the one time when the music stopped progressing.
I don\'t know much about Stoops other than the 1 time I saw a wicked bad Raq show... but I guess if people are excited there\'s probably good reason. Hopefully dude sticks around and brings whatever cred+connects he\'s got along with him.

Quote from: Drew_Kingsley;204339I don\'t have a huge wealth of RAQ knowledge, but I have heard enough to know that every RAQ fan who goes to a Breakfast show (with an open mind) will become a Breakfast fan for life.
The real test will be to see if we can let them into our little dysfunctional family without being elitist, "we were here first"-minded pricks.
You must not have enough Breakfast knowledge either. This is inevitable.
Yeah I was def already planning on being that guy :lol:

looking around at other boards and reading what people say when colaborations happen and such. Usually a positive on the music but a bad rep with fans, bashing other bands and what have you.

MATT WHAT CAN I SAY YOU WERE THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR IN BRINGING THE BREAKFAST TO THE LEVEL THEY ARE AT NOW. Without you the band would probably not have moved forward at all, you brought a lot to the band and it was awesome to get to see you for those 3 shows in Colorado last October \'07. It is sad to see you go, but like what most other people have already mentioned, it is very humble of you to realize this is not for you and not stick it out because you think you have to, and also to reach out and find an AMAZING replacement... hats off to you. I wish you well in the future.
On a side note, I\'m def pissed at myself for not driving down to Harper\'s Ferry they other night.
Quote from: freddiewaht;204329
but seriously,what about goin back to psychedelic breakfast?
I read an article in Relix: "The worst band names" or something like that, and they mentioned the Breakfast and how their old name Psychedelic Breakfast didn\'t work for them... not the best press ever, so I don\'t see the band going back to it.
Quote from: sjell
I\'ve heard great things about Todd\'s playing, but haven\'t heard anything about his vocals/harmonies? Can anyone weigh in on this?...and what role did he play in composing RAQ\'s music and lyrics?
I\'ve seen RAQ a few times and if I remember correctly Stoops sang the majority of the songs. He has a good voice which will be a huge addition, but his playing style is definitely what\'s going to take notice. He and Michetti were def above and beyond the other two in RAQ, and Stoops deifnitely stood out as an awesome keyboardist. He will bring a lot of the funk, the Queeb-psychedelia, cool organ sounds and great piano riffs. This is a huge addition for the band, I actually can\'t believe it\'s true.... I was skeptical about Chris but he has proven himself more than worthy, and with Stoops joining in this is like an all-star band, and people will definitely start to take notice. It\'s kinda like Reed Mathis joining Tea Leaf Green, except the Breakfast is going to sound 100% better than Tea Leaf Green these days. All we have to do is hope and pray that RAQ doesn\'t reform and Stoops finds his niche in the Breakfast for good! (Or at least another 12 months)

He is, like the press release said, taking over and finishing the year out with The Breakfast.
Plain and Simple. We look forward to Todd helping us out. we are here to make music be it a three piece, four piece, five piece, or a band with buckets and spoons. Matt is missing tour dates for he is doing a movie soundtrack and cameo\'s and also has decided to go to Greece and play with Melvin Sparks for a week. We appreciate Matt\'s contribution to this band over the past year and wish him well.

Well, there goes 3 pages of hopeful Stoops-hype.
I just love seeing another Palmieri quote like: "We are here to make music be it a three piece, four piece, five piece, or a band with buckets and spoons." You\'re a fucking animal dude. Keep making music because you\'re special. I don\'t believe in god, but if I did, I\'d insert some cheesy line about you "being put on this earth to make music." Bottom line is, well, YOU\'RE A FUCKING ANIMAL!

I encountered no bashing as a newb. Granted, I entered the scene with 2 years of DLing shows under my belt, so I was already familiar with the material (hell, I could\'ve sat in the first time I saw them). Eh. just my experience.

Matt was a tremendous guy, and i had a lot of good times with him. I agree that his musical styles didnt really fit who the breakfast are/were though. Matty, all the luck in the world, do it big man, you were part of the breakfast when some of the greatest jams ever were created, lots of props.
in terms of todd stoops, this band REALLY needs to get him as a permanent member, REALLY. He would be the last missing link to a possiblity of them gettin big, for a few main reasons...One, is HE CAN SING REALLY WELL. in fact, i think he would have the best voice in the band if he hopped on board. also, his keys/organ/synth work on an IMPROV level are head and shoulders above matts. todd really plays aggressively, and kinda has that medeski touch. Matt is much more of a composed guy, and i totally respect that.
I dont know what needs to be done to get todd as a permanent member, but GET IT DONE, the band will get huge if this happens, period.

1st off... RAQ has definitely not disbanded!!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing on any of their sites to indicate that.
for my money I\'ll go with
Tim
Adrian
Chris
Stoops
and Seth Yacavone!!!!!!!!!
The synergy between Seth and Tim on Bonafide in addition to the tour they did together is unquestionable!!... I think Seth and Stoops (if they would ever even consider this) would be the magic extra ingredient to elevate the band to major status on this scene.
Call it a pipe dream but it would be fuckin sick!
I hope Matt does great things! He\'s one helluva player and has a great career in front of him.

As for Seth Yacavone, I can\'t argue with the fact that they would definitely start to draw bigger crowds instantly, but I personally would not like the music as much. Besides, I can\'t see either of them sharing the stage with another guitarist on a sustained basis. They both have the requisite egos of being such great musicians. I mean, Tim\'s a goddam genius and Seth has been in a self-named band for like 10 years. There\'s no way they\'re sharing the spotlight permanently, which is totally fine. HotLanta was good because its a flippin Southern-rock guitar-wailing tune, but wtf are you gonna do with two guitar players on Rufus/Tribal Funk Affliction/Overexposure etc. etc. etc. Anyways, I don\'t know why I\'m going off on this, it\'s not like it\'s happening or anything.
I\'ll miss you Striker! Thanks for all the great shows and good luck!

Quote from: Matt o;204241
i figure that I should throw in a quick 2 cents. Thank you everyone for your support. throughout the year. It has been an amazing year+. During my time with the Breakfast I gave it everything I had. I was completely consumed with things Breakfast. It was a big commitment. I have realized that the lifestyle and the music is not my thing.
:sigh: pffft - imo, it seems pretty weak for Matt to decide to leave before a HUGE national tour because of "creative differences" & the music not being "his thing..."
seems dick.
:out:

As far as my pipe dream super group is concerned... I think the totally opposite styles of guitar would be flippin sickest thing ever. The songs and vocals would gain 20 points moving forward.
The dynamic of a 5 piece IMHO would force a more laid back approach and less of an ego driven thing (as wolf put it) and I think the masses would catch on instantly...
but then again.. what the fuck do i know..

Chris D is the perfect addition to their world - you are an absolute monster, guy!! - and you\'ve certainly helped \'raise the level\' to eleven. There may be musicians out there that come close to the talent of these guys, but I seriously doubt there are that many (or any) that are better than them. Tremendous as a band - ridiculous as individuals!!!!! Thank you so much to each of you for blowing us away on a regular basis!!
Bottom line - a monster B3 player with vocal dominance should be the final piece to \'all things Breakfast. Either that, or John Medeski! I\'m sure he can free up an occasional month or 2 from his busy schedule!
Bottom line - keep pushing it, boys!!!!!!! Luv ya live!!!!

Quote from: Wolfman;204615
I\'ll definitely miss Matt\'s playing and having him around. His jazzy stylings were fun to listen to and he wasn\'t afraid to go off completely into outer space during jams. Whether it worked or didn\'t is completely subjective on a minute-by-minute basis, but it was always entertaining. And he is a super cool person to have around, which really means a lot. I\'ll miss you Striker! Thanks for all the great shows and good luck!
Couldn\'t have said it better wolf. Matt was a really great influence and from day one was not afraid to grab the band as the lead man and forge into a new direction, leading the band. While I always loved jordans playing for it\'s fluidity, this was something he NEVER did. One of my first shows with matt, tim just finished raging a solo and points to matt to take over. Matt doesn\'t do anything for 2 bars. Then just hits the root note they were in. As the song played through the chord changes, he just kept hitting that one note, only changing the rhythm of it. With each chord they band switched into, his one note took on a whole new sonic resonance in that new key, in effect switching from 1 to b6, to 4, 2, 7, etc. All the time just looking at tim with a huge grin on his face which seemed to say "I could do anything I want to here, but I choose not to because this is all I need to do." Tim was loving it. That took some balls. Someone more egotistical would have been running arpeggios as fast as they could, but matt was happy with a root note based on a half beat triplet. As his solo progressed he built into a nice simple melody and the band came back in for the head but that was all he needed to say at that moment. In my mind, it was brilliant. That\'s the kind of thing I\'m going to miss about matt.
Also, who the hell am I going to talk about yoga with now? :lol:

He sure did and appeared with NRPS many, many times - bt.etree has a four show torrent up at the moment if you want to check it out. And also he did that beautiful, tasteful steel on CSNY\'s \'Teach Your Children\'. As for Blows, the whole Starship suite benefits from a Dead input - Mickey Hart\'s on there too.

There are a few ways they can take this thing. The TLG/Reed Mathis model: use Stoops as the main player for as long as possible and tour hard when he is available, drawing on a rock solid backup player if Raq is touring. Make Stoops the fulltime player if Raq never makes its way back to the stage (may be the least likely option at present). Find another badass player to fill the 4th spot when one is located - and there are lot of very talented keys players around the country who are not committed to anything fulltime.

As for the new guy, I didn\'t know anything about either Matt or Chris before they joined, but went into it with a 100% open and unclouded mind. I made this mistake of shutting off the Breakfast last time they were a trio, and I have no intentions of doing that again. I eagerly await the direction the band will go in with open ears and open mind.

Forget the 5th band member BS - The genius that is Tim and Adrian does not need much more than themselves to dominate the jamband scene. No need for a 2nd guitar player to get in the way of TPalms (OK in an occasional live insanity situation, though).
Not sure if I agree with this. I actually think that a second guitar player would actually give one of them to make the vocals an actual priority rather than taking a backseat to the jams.
On another note the comment of the "Tim and Adrian does not need much more than themselves to dominate the jamband scene." take away anything that Jordan, Ron, Matt and Chris have ever brought to the table past or present. This is a band, not the Tim and Adrian band with a bass player and keys player.

absolutely correct. most of the people who would appreciate this either dont tour with bands anymore becuase they are past that age, or are very close to being at that point. most of the folks who are actively touring jamband kids know this band as "the breakfast"

Why does everyone insist they keep the name ?
Not to be a debbie downer but they haven\'t really broken out of the local circuit and they draw about the same amount of fans as they did in the early days. So what exactly does the name do ? If you said to people this is the new project by the former members of the breakfast it carries about as much weight as the breakfast does.
Changing the name and project (at the sametime keeping what made PB TB) great isn\'t a bad thing IMHO. It might even get some people out to see what is new as opposed to just dismissing the band outright as they have been there done that.
It is marketing plain and simple. It isn\'t like they have really good name recognition besides folks who have seen them before. They do not have a good market penetration.
Einstein defined insanity as doing the samething over and over again and expecting a different result.
Why not take the opportunity to reinvent yourself or the band when given the opportunity ? It is just as valid an argument as is keeping on keeping on.
It has nothing to do with old school v. new school. What it has to do with is stirring the pot and arousing peoples interest. Isn\'t this why Tim plays solo shows ?(besides getting paid) How many people have seen Tim play solo only to come out and check out the Breakfast because Tim is as good as he is. Why do people go to check out his side projects etc ? Isn\'t to see what Tim et al have cooked up ?
As always this issue etc always comes down to what the guys in the band want to get out of being in the band. If they are content with what they are doing great, keep it going. If they want to get bigger and make more money and gain fans then doing the samething IMHO isn\'t going to cut it. Just as the original fanbase is getting older so is Tim, Adrian, Chris etc.
They originally changed the name for marketing purposes so why draw a line in the sand now ?

What makes you think changing the name to ________ will suddenly make a difference? They might not have much name recognition but if they changed to some thing totally different they would have zero name recognition (except tacking on the "formerly the breakfast") For the record, I\'m not a big fan of the name but it is what it is and I think a lot of people in the scene know the name.
I wasn\'t necessarily advocating the name change just pointing out the other side of the argument.
I guess the gamble would be this. Does the name recognition that they have now help or hurt ? And what I mean by that is this. Being The Breakfast as long as they have has produced X number of fans, but also X number of people who would not go to see them again. If the members of the band started a new project under a new name, X number of old fans would continue but there would be no X number of people who would not go see them because they haven\'t seen the project before. Now I will admit that it is a gamble, and there is always the potential people would dismiss the project anyway.
Life is a gamble and no one ever got rich by playing it safe. There is a lot of risk involved. Think of the great musicians of old. There were many guys who went from failed band to failed band until they finally hit on a project that blew up.
Again I am really just pointing out the other argument. I am not advocating 1 way or other.

God damn I love ripping rock and roll, and the breakfast can deliver. the only thing that makes them better is Stoops! this is gonna be great.

yo wassup, my name is Alexi from Breakfast land. I was over here to see what all you guys were saying about this..
we are fucking stoked. Stoops is the man and everytime there has been a Bfast/RAQ collaboration it has been redic.
I guess none of you guys know what the deal with the RAQ breakup is either, but I assure you: if you guys get your asses to any of the Freakout shows (10/30,10/31,11/1) you will be blown away.
If you really wanna hear some great BFast shit, check them out on the archive.org.
i recommend 4/18/08, (the Hard LuckHarry is legendary. also listen to Gladys Pimp and Wake Up Ina Coma> Overexposure from that show) bu every show on there is pretty much solid.
the breakfast just got a new bass player in January and I am SURE that if any of you guys check the bfast out you will agree: with todd stoops they are OFFICIALLY the 4 best musicians on their instruments in the scene right now. take advantage of these inexpensive shows, because if Stoops sticks, they are gonna blow up.
and if any of that seemed overly opinionated, sorry, i\'m just excited.

proud to call that one my own... The day that Raq said they were taking a break I had posted that it was too bad Jordan was replaced so fast (sorry Matt! I just liked it better before, so sue me...). I have always felt Stoops would be a good fit with Tpalms. The Breakfast and Raq have been my two fav bands for a long time now and if I can\'t have them both this is the next best thing.

Seriously I am sad that the breakfast machine will again take on a new shape, but expansion, letting go, progression...this is what these guys have always seemed to be about musically. I saw the original 4 back in \'02 and have gracefully enjoyed each replacement as part of the lovely unfolding of life. Of course it seems awkward to have to redefine oneself, and "so it goes!"
I am impressed by Stoops, or at least I was up in Peru at the Backwoods Pondfestie-stock. I must say the only RAQ song I went up for was for the Timmy addition. Meh.
Truth be told, Matt O was superb, and I get the idea that he had a sort of Namaste-ness and need to stay on a sacred path. Part of the so-called spacey-tastic ways (ie creative diff and ALL).

Seems like a waste to spend all that time teaching Stoops songs just so he can play for the rest of the year. All or nothing. Either join the band or get out of the way for the Power Trio 2.0 to take control. This will be the third time in ~14 months the breakfast has had to reteach songs and start their song catalogue from scratch. Such a dooz.
I hear ya and I really hope St00ps decides to stick around. If he\'s donezo in \'09 that will definitely suck but at the very least this will boost The Breakfasts fanbase and create some hype for these upcoming shows (not to mention make some ser music). I have a feeling he will want to stay though, after he plays a few shows and jams the shnot outta some tunes. I loved the trio w/ The Save and I\'m sure with The Dangle that shit is insane, but I\'ve come to realize that (I hate to say it) Leith was right all along this band needs keys. I\'ll be at shows regardless.

I\'m not questioning that part. It just seems like Adrian/Tim/Chris will be putting in a lot of time and effort to make Stoops apart of the band and if he isn\'t going to stay on for 2009, it\'s basically a wasted effort and a 2 month road block in their songwriting/repertoire.

Do you honestly believe that they haven\'t asked Stoops to fill in past the new year?
Because, I agree, it is a major waste of time and energy if they aren\'t going to be a 4 piece on 1/1. They should direct their attention to tightening up the 3 piece.

I would assume this to be one of the first questions they asked him to which I\'m sure he replied he\'d need a trial run first, which brings us to the current situation.

Exactly my point! It would allow Chris more time to learn additional breakfast songs and also give them all a chance to write more music without being distracted by practices teaching Stoops a couple dozen songs.

Stoops presence will benefit just about every audience they play in front of. It will actually benefit the hardcore local fans the least. Average 6 pack Joe, seeing the breakfast for the first or second time will not know that they\'re playing a "limited" setlist because there\'s a new member in the band. It\'s only the longtimes bitchin\' cause they don\'t play Za anymore that are hurt by this lost education time.

Do you think all these new fans are going to stick around when they go back to being a 3 piece after 1/1?
No, it\'ll be cool for the shows he plays but then we are back to square one.
This band has not made any ground in the last 12-18 months.
Besides, I don\'t think they can survive as a band without Stoops.

Why special guest him and then go back to a 3 piece?
We can\'t continue to add and subtract musicians from this band. How many times before it becomes a rotating keyboard slot?
If they were dying I could understand but they keep quiting.
Be a 3 piece or be a 4 piece with Stoops.
Please just pick one and stick to it.

The Breakfast does not *need* a keyboard player. Ooops, brain fart. The Breakfast needs a keyboard player!
To me Breakfast Trio was not their highest point musically. The high points being pretty much any time with Sequoia or Matt in the picture. Tim is in my top 5 favorite all time musicians so I hate to criticize at all -- but I really hope not to see the guy trying to tackle keyboards and guitar at the same time again. I mean its badass that he could pull it off... but IMO it caused a lot of limitations that you don\'t have with a seperate guy on keys.
Post by: kindm's on October 09, 2008, 07:17:47 pm
I don\'t think folks are tied to a format. For example (and I hate to keep using them as a reference) The Ryan Montbleau Band. Now, during any given show you might have Ryan play solo, He will also play as a 3 piece (ryan -guitar vox, Larry - Viola, Matt -Bass), they will also play with all 7 or they will play a show without their percussionist. It really comes down to the arrangements.
Bringing a bunch of different artists also exposes their fans to the breakfast in a different setting and helps crowds overlap, the fans get to see killer music and it is all fresh.

Don\'t be naive. The first run through as a 3 piece BARELY held together. I enjoyed it but the shows were extremely light.

I am saying the opposite of that Stoops is leaving. I think he is staying.

in retrospect matt ditching out days before the biggest tour of the bands career was a pretty dick move. I know he wanted to go in different directions musically and thats understandable so you wanna quit..FINE...but at least honor the commitment you made to the tour. sticking it out for one more month is not going to impact the rest of your life that much one way or the other. And why even let him come back for a few shows after doing almost the whole tour without him cause he was too busy with other shit??? In or out.

i have no idea how this can be thought of as anything but excellent for the band given the circumstances.
lemons -> lemonade -> sickness

the fact that stoops is joining up for the rest of the year has already heightened the public\'s awareness for the breakfast.

oh yeah? that\'s cool! to tell you the truth, i would actually be quite happy to be shut out of a breakfast show b/c it was sold out. (then i would proceed to find a way to sneak in, of course!)

While talking to dangle last night, I casually suggested taking advantage of the raq fans down south while stoops is around.
what were his thoughts on this?

That\'s a great idea and I also talked w/ Todd and Tim about that. If he is stay in the band they would have to seriously put aside a few 1-2 week runs and in the down time they could do 2 and 3 off runs through the South so Todd could be close to family and work.
