Does this band need to succeed?

[Klout]

I think the world of star wars is probably more real to him than the world of 9-5.

anyway I haven\'t read this whole thread so it\'s prolly been said already but musically they are already successful and I am sure they want financial success or at least stability because hey who doesn\'t but I don\'t think it is needed for them to continue playing for a long time.

i flat out gaurantee that adrians idea of what he needs is about to change like many of you have never imagined. trust me on this.

Totally.

Exactly.

This I fear.

Fear indeed.

Of course this band needs to be successful. No offense, but what a stupid question!

:lol:

my thoughts exactly.

Hell yeah they need to succeed. More success = more people eating Breakfast. More people = bigger venues. Bigger venues = better light rigs. Better light rigs = the goal = success. I\'m in it for the lights, they attract unicorns.

it\'s all been said already, but there is this thing called living expenses and as you grow up and start thinking about what you want to work towards in your life, you realize that, right or wrong, you need to make some sort of money if you want to live with any degree of comfort and financial security.  if we want these guys to be able to continue doing what their doing, they need to be making some sort of financial progress.  the investment must have some sort of return, otherwise they won\'t be able to afford to keep doing it.  i dont think any of the guys are independently wealthy, so financial success is indeed important to the future of the breakfast.

Breakfast is already "successful".  This, I based on two factors:

1.) The band-the machine:  you need to have a well oiled machine with dedicated members and goals.  A little bird once told me "playing music is easy, getting the band together is the hard part." OK, they have that.

2.) Fans/response: consistent #\'s at shows, people who keep coming to your shows, peoples\' heads turn away from "the game" that\'s on the TV at the bar, people who buy your CD\'s not "just to be nice".
That part they have as well...this forum is proof!

You kinda need both to consider a "success".  You can have #1, but if no one give a flying fuck about your band, I wouldn\'t consider (just) THAT successful.

I dunno there was mad few ppl at Cafe Osiris.... I thought that was supposed to be Breakfast home turf. On a Saturday night? What gives.

I think they have a ways to go yet...

People don\'t drive to the Valley.

People think Ansonia is on the other side of the state when in fact it\'s less than 20 minutes away. Not a bad drive at all!

People don\'t drive to the Valley.

True.

[bdfreetuna]

weird. I didn\'t know Ansonia was considered Connecticut\'s red headed step child.

But for real I thought people would be crashing the gates of that little venue down there.

Welll anyway I\'m not letting that go down for Northampton. Heavy Postage == last night. Rain == today... so more Heavy Postage == in order.

I am "making" so many people go to this. People understand that while I do not really celebrate my birthday, I do indeed celebrate homecoming Breakfast shows.

If SER doozage IE. the last time Breakfast came to Iron Horse occurs... it will be no fault of mine!
