Should The Breakfast relocate?

[leith]

Just asking so keep the hatred to a minimum please.

Reading between the lines, I think what this really says is:

Poll: Should Leith move to CT so he can see more breakfast shows?

_YES
_NO

i don\'t know if it would help at all

but of course co is my choice

[Gfunk]

I\'m not sure. leaving behind their North East fanbase would be.... Idk, sad I guess. One thing I do know, if they were to move to CO or Cali I would move too.

[Jim Cobb]

I\'d say relocation is pretty low on the list of things the band could do to move forward.

what is high up on the list? just curious as to what you think could be done.

short answer: "Yes" with an "If," long answer: "No" --with a "But..."

I went with no, but start touring more following bigger bands (just like utica shows).

absolutely...go west coast for a couple years

[ds673488]

as much as i would want them to stay here, i think relocating for a year or 2 might be a good idea (california)

:that:

I\'m kinda torn for this one.  Can\'t believe I\'m going to say this, but great poll, leith!

My thoughts are that if they tour more, I believe they can quadruple their fan base, but they must tour consistently.  While I feel that moving out west would be great for the band, there are many connections around here that keep them getting paid and recognized.  Moving out west is a big gamble.  Therefore, I say let them tour more and see what happens... :shrug:

boston is no option on said list

::abstains::

[tyzack]

How did Chicago get on the list? Maybe I am not on the up and up, but asides from WaxTrax (which I believe has relocated to Seattle) what major bands/labels are based there?

Coloroda and California are interesting choices because they have large "scenes" already. Personally I don\'t think that the B-fast should go to such a place for the same reason why they shouldn\'t be an opening act; they are too good.

Therefore, I\'d say Boston (because I\'d see more shows), or New York City (because it\'s NYC), or Seattle.

Berlin is a cool place too.

The Breakfast Uber Alles.

they don\'t need to move, they need to tour. i was listening to a morphine interview/show where they mentioned doing 200 shows the previous year. the dj said \'so i guess you\'ll be doing fewer shows this year, then>\' to which sandman replied, \'no no no, we need to get back to all of those places we were so they don\'t forget about us, then we have to get to new places so they can find out about us. we\'ll be doing even more shows this year.\'

of course, they had major label support, but still, the concept is solid. tour, then, when you\'re done with that, tour some more, then for your road break, record, then go tour twice as hard to support the new record. of course, that\'s a lot easier said than done....

this discussion has come up before... and it will end as it did before. the breakfast will most likely NOT move anywhere, but in fact everyone agrees with jking and realize the breakfast just need to tour the entire country, probably a couple times a year. i get sick of seeing northeast shows getting booked. though, of course, if i still lived in the northeast i\'d be psyched
