The name game: An official statement

[boombox]

Ho Ho Ho guys!!!

Seriously though, just found this potential problem in the UK. While checking out the Jefferson Starship and sci tour dates to get my tickets for both, I discovered some Arthur Brown tour dates with........ The Psychedelic Breakfast!!!

This lot have been kicking around for a while.Their website is http://www.thebreakfast.co.uk/. Somehow I see future UK fans getting corrupted by this lot. Just a thought...

Thanx for the tip boombox. I don\'t know if PB\'s management has seen this or not. I hope so. Seems like someone dropped the ball on this side of the pond. Wonder what PB will call themselves if they make it to the UK ?

Every so often, somebody else stumbles upon this gem from across the Atlantic and brings it to our attention.  As far as I know, our PB holds the copyrights and such.  There was no ball dropping on the Staven end...

P.S. Does "ball dropping" sound dirty to anybody else?

[leith]

Thanx Drew. Glad to hear PB was not involved in any "ball dropping."

ball dropping = tea bagging??

pb (tb)\'s new web address will be thebreakfast.net, as thebreakfast.com is registered to someone in, go figure, london!

[leith]

LOL. London can\'t they come up w/ something original? Cool so when is that going to be up and running?

[boombox]

Don\'t really care whose balls have dropped, but glad that\'s been made clear.

However, drew, I believe the UK brekkie may well have been around first - perish the thought, citing Alan\'s Psychedelic Breakfast as their imspiration. No matter, though - we all know who\'s going to make it bigger!

Yeah, we\'ve been onto that other Psychedelic Breakfast for years.  They should co-bill.  People would think that a band was opening for themselves.  Then when Tim sits in with them, their setlist asterisk would have to say *with Tim from the   other Psychedelic Breakfast.

[Wolfman]

If "Psychedelic" is no longer part of the name, what happens to the website psychedelicbreakfast.com?  It\'s got to be changed.  You have to keep the brand and its promotions aligned.  Are there plans to change the website?  The band does not have a great history of efficiently utilizing basic marketing and accounting methods.

[skalnbyc]

that\'s why you should provide some independent consulting to the Break boys.  I guess you are hardly an independent consultant given your position to the band (past and present) but you are never short of ideas and suggestions.

Sweet.  It\'s time for a new website anyways.  Can\'t wait to see it.  I have one idea; presently when you want to see the upcoming shows, it takes you to jambase.  I understand the reason is because we\'re trying to boost jambase search totals, but suddenly you\'re no longer at psychedelicbreakfast.com and it\'s very easy to get sidetracked at jambase at forget that you were ever at psychedelicbreakfast.com.  The gigs should either come up at jambase in a pop-up browser, or be listed at the band\'s site.

They actually are listed on the site as well, but the Jambase link is still prevalent.  Good idea, Wolf.

All they need is to land some opening slots for bigger bands, and before long THE BREAKFAST will be bigger and more popular than PB ever was..!!
