More publicity

This week Grousing The Aisles looks at three fantastic shows from October, and then as an added bonus, we’ve rounded up links to Halloween show downloads from all across these United States. Be sure to read on after the jump to find links to downloads from Arcade Fire, Gov’t Mule, Ryan Adams and many more.



Is it just us or does it seem like the unwritten ban on covering Phish songs has finally been lifted? The Breakfast celebrated Halloween by covering Lawn Boy in its entirety at their 9th annual Fonghoulish Freakout at the Higher Ground. Sure the vocals may have been a bit Bisco-esque, but The Breakfast showed incredible musicianship by nailing some of Phish’s most difficult passages with ease.

Guitarist Tim Palmieri didn’t try to replicate Trey Anastasio’s tone. For instance, on Bathtub Gin, Palmieri played the solo using an envelope filter that made his guitar sound more like Jerry Garcia than Trey. Run Like An Antelope and Split Open and Melt featured some great interplay from all the members of the band including keyboardist Matt Oestreicher, who supposedly hadn’t heard any of Phish’s shit before starting with The Breakfast earlier this year.

Lawn Boy took up the majority of the show, but The Breakfast also played a number of their own complex compositions. The show started with a ripping jam that led into the Zappa-esque Buquebus (no Bangbus?). Other impressive originals included a heavy Food For Thought and the quirky Honey Butter. The gig seemed to gain major hippie cred points when Phish’s Mike Gordon came out wearing a mask to play bass on a bizarre cover of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive — that seemed to excite the audience more than any of the Lawn Boy covers.

Kudos to The Breakfast for allowing Dave Pecoraro to tape the show so everyone could check out their version of Lawn Boy within 48 hours of the show ending. In less than a week his recording has been downloaded by over 4,000 people who have now been exposed to the power of a good Breakfast.

That is what I\'m wondering.  They mention Dave Peck and hit on all the points listed in the Food For thought thread of the show.  Almost as if a .info insider wrote it.

Established in the fall of 2002, Glide Magazine (http://www.glidemagazine.com) has grown to become a premier online entertainment resource. By continuing to avoid the rudimentary confines of genre or style, we’re able to devote our ongoing focus to covering today’s most innovative artists, regardless of musical concept or artistic method. Over the years, that basic vision has allowed us to offer our readers an audacious look at all the best in music, culture and life.

No boundaries give us the freedom to cover anyone and anything that’s moving art forward. So while we naturally tend to gravitate towards the music side of the spectrum, we also offer a glimpse into the world of independent filmmakers, progressive authors and even a bit of outdoor exploration.

What began as a simple website with no expectations and little fanfare has evolved into a comprehensive, award winning online collective, comprised of over one-hundred talented editorial contributors, photographers and dedicated site staff. Four years after our initial launch, Glide v. 3.0 moves our initial mission forward, utilizing new media technology and numerous site enhancements to further expand the Glide user experience.

seriously, the buzz surrounding the band right now is pretty ridiculous. it seems like ppl are coming out of the woodworks being like, holy shit. the breakfast are amazing. and i\'m like, um... yeah... i\'ve been saying that for the past how many years now?! welcome one and all to the breakfast bizzare!

[skalnbyc]

seriously, the buzz surrounding the band right now is pretty ridiculous.!

They need to take this momentum and run with it!  Hopefully more tricks, treats and strategies are in the works!

[postom]

a lot of people that i know read this.

if that means anything.

imo, I think a major part of keeping the buzz around the band is for the management, and, yes, even us loyal fans, to write incredible reviews about the show and send them anywhere & everywhere.  While it won\'t be the huge "break" it should be, it certainly won\'t hurt to have the band\'s name plastered around the internet. :shrug:
