Post by: davepeck on September 25, 2008, 06:58:01 pm
Due to creative differences, keyboardist Matt Oestreicher and The Breakfast will be parting ways at the end of October.  Tim Palmieri will take double duty responsibilities on both guitar and keyboards through October 13th, with many special guest appearances!  Oestreicher will finish his run with the band from the 13th through October 25th in Erie, PA, and RAQ keyboardist Todd Stoops will then take over and finish out the year performing with The Breakfast!!

gotta say thanks to matt for bridging the gap and helping to hold the band together for the last year.  Some amazing shows and jams were played in late 07 and 08.

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.

If I may teach "Public Relations 101" for a second:

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 rest of the year is a trial period to just make SURE everything works out as great as everyone involved thinks and hopes it will...then, assuming it does, its on like donkey kong.

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

Well, I know I\'m across the country and not as ser as some of y\'all, but I personally think this sucks ass.

Matt is a bad, bad mutha and a helluva guy.

I\'m coming up to gig / visit October 19-26.  Hope to see some of you kids in a few weeks...

This is a very interesting release, both in terms of info and wording. I hope Klout is right and Stoops will be joining the band after a "trial period" in the last two months of 2008.

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?

So Raq is officially disbanded?  I thought part of the reason they broke up was because this guy moved to NC and wanted to spend a lot of time with his family/newborn?  Or am I thinking of another Raq member from an old thread?

It stinks, but I really wouldn\'t put it on the same level as Ron or Jordan leaving the band.  Actually, I think that it would be more detrimental if Chris left.  His playing has brought the band to places it\'s never been.  Matt just brought a different style.  I\'m hoping that  Stoops has more of an organ feel to his style than say a synth sound.  Not that I mind the synth, but it seems like all the jams with synth and up with that disco sound (part of the reason I can\'t stand the biscuits).  I\'m sure that The Breakfast will land on their feet; they always do.

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.

Post by: Overexjoesure on September 25, 2008, 09:04:39 pm
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.  

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....

Looks like The Breakfast and the economy are heading in the same direction.

Bottom Line: Huge Fucking Mistake...

Huh. I thought this was some kinda joke at first. Just like all the other fun announcements in the past (PB=TB, Jordan, Save)..

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!

ahh... well Matt thanks for the good music man

Title: a quick and unpolished response
Post by: Matt o on September 25, 2008, 10:12:37 pm
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.  

I know that I did my best.  I apologize for the times that I was "not in the music."  I am sorry if that affected you.  I\'m not a good faker.  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.    Even though i am leaving, these will not be half-hearted dates.  We are going to show up and rock and take chances etc.  

To life unfolding unexpectedly and beautifully,

it was a pleasure seeing you play matt.  you helped bring the band to unreached heights in the key department.

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.

yea for real tho matt know that you really did take this band to new levels. they were stuck in somewhat of a jamming rut before you came along and you totally broke them out of that with your out of the box playing and creative style and influence  and  experimentation and really just facilitated a much needed step in the overall evolution of the band. that will be your breakfast legacy, at least in my mind.

Wow. Guess I missed this thread somehow.

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.

Matt, thanks for all you have brought to this scene, be it heady shakes, the jazz influence, a paradigm shift, rocking originals, the return of doughboy, wang chung, etc.

goddammit, i love this band. and what makes this band what it is right now, is the highs and lows and bumps and bruises along the way. matt o brought many things to this band, and came in at a time in which the breakfast really needed him. his strong jazz influence has helped to challenge and embellish tim and adrian\'s style.  i could be mistaken, but i thought it was matt who actually hooked the band up with chris too..... !

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.

it cant be easy joining a band where two guys have been spooning live for a decade+, are best friends when the show is over, have been for a long time. i dont know if this comment and these questions have no tact at this moment and in this thread, so sorry if it comes across that way.

HUGE gratitude for what matt has brought to the band.  He\'s definitely left an imprint, and has served a major purpose this year.

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.
Title: New Lineup
Post by: boombox on September 26, 2008, 07:26:26 am
Matt\'s playing style has grown on me over the year, and with his departure, the band may lose a few more than decent tunes. But I too felt it was sometimes a little too jazzy - not that I am against jazz, but at times it felt like the music was pulling  away from what drew me to the band in the first place. So good luck to him in whatever he does - he\'s a fine musician, who will hopefuly find the right chemistry with another bunch of like-minded talented musicians.

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!

This potentially might be the best Breakfast line-up to date. I feel that all the cards are in place and that if it can\'t be done with Stoops on keys, then it will never be done.

The Breakfast just stepped up to a whole new level.

Matt, thanks for everything. Life\'s a learning experience and if you take nothing from your day to day encounters your destined to make the same mistakes and live in purgatory. Cheers to you. i think all band members learned a great deal from each other and i hope everyone retains what they have experienced. Matt opened the other guys eyes to a different side of music which i hope they don\'t lose and i would think the same is true for Matt. Matt i hope you continue to play music, your an incredible keyboardist and though the Breakfast might not have been a fit there are a lot of bands out there that could use your positive energy and adaptive sounds.

Stoops....... we\'ll see. i expect he\'ll be a real good addition to the band. Bringing new fans for the Breakfast, opening the doors with some of his connections. 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.

and FUCK!!! i LOVED the 3 piece (imho they were the best the Breakfast has EVER been) and i\'ll be pissed if i can\'t catch a show with them ripping it up. and with Chris on bass...... come on people open you fucking ears, this gonna ROCK

I don\'t see this happening.  But I agree, I miss his bluesy vocals.  But lets look forward.  I\'m hoping Stoops becomes permenant, and I really think this could be the final piece of the puzzle.

I liked the 3 piece (alot).

I like Raq.

I like The Breakfast with Raq (Stoops) sit ins.  

This should be good.

well, as much as i like matt and his musical submissions, i have been thinking lately that, as boombox said, he was a bit too jazzy at times. not quite enough balls, not quite enough funk, not quite sure how to space it out without sliding into abstract jazz (all of which is fine, just not within the context of the breakfast). so, while i\'m sad there\'s another bump in the road for the band, i am glad that the band\'s music and success was forefront in everyone\'s thoughts and matt bowed out about as gracefully and classily as could ever be asked for. he saw his vision for himself, he saw the band\'s vision for itself and was able to see the differences and in the end did what was best for both. kudos and thanks to you, matt! now, let\'s see what the future unfolds...

I 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.

Well, I don\'t know that much about RAQ. I\'ve never really listened to the with the execption of the split DVD they did with PB a long time ago. A sick DVD, everyone should "watch" it.

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?

I loved the jazz influence Matt brought to the band.

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.

I can\'t believe I\'m just seeing this thread now for the first time after 6 pages have already been written. I guess it\'s kind of a big deal.

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.

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)

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.

That is awesome.  Congrats to Matt for expanding his endeavors.  I really enjoyed the sound he brought to the band, especially during acoustic shows.  Best of luck in the future.

i knew this was coming, especially since when i put on my proposed buffalo setlist IAQs, they said "we dont play that anymore" without any reason.  

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.

As for treatment of newbies...  I was welcomed with open arms!  At my second show (UAC1), wah pulled me around for like 30 minutes introducing me to people that were "dying to meet" me.  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.

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.

Post by: Wolfman on September 27, 2008, 12:20:52 pm
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.  If at any point they bring in someone who just thinks he is the shit, doesn\'t give a crap about the fans, etc., that will be a sad day.

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!

Matt, thanks for all you\'ve given us over the last year+.  The handful times I\'ve been able to see you play have been amazing and I enjoyed getting to hang with you off the stage.  I hope the Bfast doesn\'t lose hold of the jazz influences you brought back to the band with your joining last year.  Prior to your coming onto the scene, I had been longing for the jazzy jams that were absent since the early years of PB.  As someone else mentioned, the level of proficiency you brought to the band reinvigorated the entire fanbase last year.  Definitely left your mark on a lot of tunes (the ragtime Dig for example).  I hope we will get to see you collaborate with Bfast members again in the future if the opportunity presents itself, ala Blah Blah Collective.  

Glad I will have one more opporuntity to see you on the upcoming tour!

I\'m incredibly bummed if raq rumors are true. GREAT BAND and GREAT GUYS. If it is true and we are fortunate enough to get a player like stoops... well than for once the stars align for this band.

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..

Only been fairly close to this band\'s musical energy for the last couple of years - and I think the world of Matty O - you will be truly missed - those acoustic Daniel St shows were something special- but the time is right to make this Breakfast thing explode!!!!!  Not too familiar with RAQ and Stoops, but knowing that he is a temporary fix, let\'s take advantage of the opportunity to unite the worlds of TB & RAQ, and work on securing a monster keyboard player going forward in \'09.  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).
  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!!!!

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.


Who is Seth Yacavone?

Breakfast with another guitar player.... :lol:

Nominated for worst idea ever. Unless TPalms manages to clone himself somehow, I guess that would be allright.


Ya Duane Allman NEVER played with great Guitar players in the same band ;)

Jerry Garcia Never played with other guitar players either

Frank Zappa nope never ever.

:)

Michetti and Palmieri could be a Duane - Dickey


Didn\'t Jerry play steel guitar on the first NRPS album? I believe he also worked on Blows Against the Empire.

Everyone should drink Narragansetts.

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.

As far as Stoops goes... If he is available they should realy try to make it last. I agree with everyone else that he is absolutely one of the best all around key players on the scene!


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.

I will miss the musical aspects that Matt brought to the band. I don\'t know enough about music to say, in detail, what I liked, however I feel like he was able to adapt his sound to the current jam better than Jordan did, though I did prefer Jordan\'s use of the organ, and his electrics. Matt I thought was always a bit weak on the synth.

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.

Not sure what you mean by the four actual/Actually\'s, but yes, I feel that vocals should actually be a priority.  If they brought in another guitar player that could play rythm and sing, I don\'t think that it would be a bad thing.

I don\'t know why that\'s such a surprise.  Everyone that I try to turn onto the band, thinks the music is great, but I lose them when the vocals start.  I like their sound, but that\'s partly because I like Tim and the crew outside of the music setting.

Changing their name back to Psychedelic Breakfast would be a move to appease the extreme minority and is definitely not a good idea in the midst of trying to maintain your identity during a personnel switch.

RE: The Name of the Band

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.

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.

Ive never seen the Breakfast before but Ive always wanted to. With st00ps, even more. But aren\'t they another band that should be a helluve a lot bigger then they are???? Seems like they suffer some of the same problems as raQ

Ok... you get the point...


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.

Thanks for the past year Matt....your influence was nice but it will be interesting to see where "the sound" goes from here.  I\'m glad that you will be playing the Aberdeen show on Oct 21.  I havent had a chance to see you with the band and I guess this will be the last chance that I have....I\'m sure it will be a good time.  The people in Aberdeen have no idea what they\'re in for.

Have a good trip guys and see you soon!

I was clueless as to why the recent setlists have the asterisk without Matt O. 17 pages later, this is a hil----arious thread. This totally beats going to sleep!

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.

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.

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.

Which is my original point.

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.

Spacey I respectfully disagree on lesser points...

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
Perhaps with Stoops joining temp (or not) they could also recruit a big name (or several) to guest on a short tour. Like some horns or something that isn\'t as common or just ridiculous like  Skerik or Fred Wesley, DBB horns, bonerama, female vocalist something like that. Just go all out do things that they either never do or can\'t because they are missing this or that piece. Simply embrace it as way to get really really creative.

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.

What makes you think they will stay?


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

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.

That said...LETS GO STOOPS!

really hope it works out and he stays on permanently and commits to the long haul. This bands badly needs some stability.

that\'s how it all starts. now raq fans are trying to sell out the breakfast shows.

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

lemons -> lemonade -> sickness

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.

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.
