What happened to the cold hard truth Spacey just laid down?
I took the high road and said fuck it then deleted it.
would love to hear this piece of wisdom.
Its pretty simple. How long has Tim know about this gig? Why are you waiting till the last minute to ask people to promote it.
The Breakfast\'s strategy towards promotion is fucking embarrassing. Its the most important asking of the business and these guys give minimal if any effort at all. Getting on stage and playing is the easiest part of their job. So, fuck these last minute requests to help these fucking guys out.
Promote weeks in advance not hours. Its a stupid request you put up, one I find insulting.
The band and its members need to start putting in a lot more fucking effort into the promotion of the Breakfast or at least have the fucking balls to tell the fanbase that this band is done. The writing is on the wall. This board is beyond stale, when was the last time the Breakfast put an album out? I just became a fan of the band on Facebook. Are you fucking serious? Its insulting to think that they deserve any of my hard earned money.
More time and energy is spent on side projects then the actual band. I don\'t give a fuck about helping Tim solo or Kung Fu or any of those other bands. Personally, I believe Tim should be out on the street handing out his own fucking fliers. I have a feeling this gig was more about money than exposure because it is probably the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Play music in traffic. If you want to be a street musician, go to New York. If you are getting paid, then fuck promoting it.
I hear where you\'re coming from spacey. I\'ve only been around here for a year or so; but I can tell there quite a few people (fans) who have put a lot of their time & energy into this band ($, promotion, etc.). However, I also can imagine some of the band\'s perspective, since they also have put forth great effort. After working thru years of diminishing profits and lineup changes, the only real motivator is fun and enjoyment. I absolutely agree that The Breakfast could do things differently and make more money/draw bigger crowds; but I think they are in it mostly for the thrill of playing great music at this point. In my opinion/experience, if the band is having fun, the audience is having fun, and vice versa.
Of course I should state that I\'ve never been in a band, and only recently got into Breakfast, and modern live music in general, within the past few years. So there is probably a number of things I\'m not yet aware of... Just trying to say that I think we should let these things go their course... but it also wouldn\'t be a bad idea to give the old school (not me) breakfast heads something special (a la family jam or vip show).
I just wish the Breakfast and all related bands & side projects had loot to tour the nation (including more local shows for me!)
