i really hope that\'s the case if they end up at vibes again this summer...

i don\'t know why the guys haven\'t been able to make the lineup for bonnaroo yet.. it would be such good exposure for them.

as beneficial as it is for them to play festivals in the northeast, they definitely need to tour nationally/get on some festivals in different parts of the country this summer.

Because the jammy has as much pull as those jamband250 polls....

They cant get into festival slots because of booking/management.

www.madisonhouseinc.com

This needs to be their booking/management. I\'ll apply for a job there and make the Breakfast my personal responsibility.

:hscratch: do you think it\'s due to booking/management not having the proper "connections" in the industry, or just lack of promotion/force to push the Breakfast forward?

I\'d say a little of both, but then again I know nothing about behind-the-scenes Breakfast management.

i actually talked to their booking agent a while ago becuase i was going to try to book them in buffalo...the guy really didnt sound like he knew much about the band or their touring interests at all

they should be ubiquitous at every single new england fest. people should simply assume the breakfast will be playing any and every fest up there.

some other good ones are all good, jerry jam, mag- and spring-fest (if for no other reason than to see spirit of suwanne!! what a venue!!!!), down on the farm, echo project, whatever fest has taken place of smilefest in nc, hell, jump on with hookaville. they have two or three fests a year on their own that still get a sizeable crowd for each... and, of course, BreakFest.

It\'s ABSOUTELY both. I agree with Vasillios. MadisonHouseBooking is the way to go. That is if they cant get with Monterey.  The thing is a proper booking agent should also do PR.  Promotion should be in the hands of someone specifically doing marketing. Basically we need someone who BELIEVES in this band and will give ALL their effort to push them forward.  But yeah, a manager should have connections and if he/she doesnt, they should be out trying their best to network.

extensive touring leads to festivals. Hope the 4 of them..well 6 with Dobs and Ellis, are ready to get back on the road and give the country some more Breakfast and then come right back and hit em again.
sleep a lot...eat a lot, brush em like crazy. Run a lot...do a lot, never be lazy..
