New Lineup

[Klout]

I will definitely miss WNU

[weekapaug19]

I\'m not sure who could be happier to hear this, myself or Mr. Krispy.

This band is about to get big....I really hope this is for more than the 2 months, but I can\'t wait for the freakout ironhorse show.

[delfunk1]

I guess "The Message" haters can rest easy now.

This potentially might be the best Breakfast line-up to date. I feel that all the cards are in place and that if it can\'t be done with Stoops on keys, then it will never be done.

The Breakfast just stepped up to a whole new level.

Stoops + the Breakfast = Buquebus will own faces

Stoops + the Breakfast = Buquebus will own faces

My hopes and dreams.

I\'m gonna have to go with me on this one...

Matt, thanks for everything. Life\'s a learning experience and if you take nothing from your day to day encounters your destined to make the same mistakes and live in purgatory. Cheers to you. i think all band members learned a great deal from each other and i hope everyone retains what they have experienced. Matt opened the other guys eyes to a different side of music which i hope they don\'t lose and i would think the same is true for Matt. Matt i hope you continue to play music, your an incredible keyboardist and though the Breakfast might not have been a fit there are a lot of bands out there that could use your positive energy and adaptive sounds.

Stoops....... we\'ll see. i expect he\'ll be a real good addition to the band. Bringing new fans for the Breakfast, opening the doors with some of his connections. Raq has seen fame the Breakfast is yet to reach and i hope his addition to the band can bring them to those places and show some of the faggot scenester hipsters how a real band owns your fucking face.

and FUCK!!! i LOVED the 3 piece (imho they were the best the Breakfast has EVER been) and i\'ll be pissed if i can\'t catch a show with them ripping it up. and with Chris on bass...... come on people open you fucking ears, this gonna ROCK

[SlimPickens]

In addition, "special guest appearances!"?? Does ths mean sequoia is a possible for a few shows? He seems to have been around a lot lately eg the Beatles shows. Much as I respect Todd, might this be the time for Jordan to come back? I for one have missed that organ sound and his vocals for too long. Permanent would be good for me, but if not, even a few shows to bring back some of the classic pb material would be nice.

I don\'t see this happening.  But I agree, I miss his bluesy vocals.  But lets look forward.  I\'m hoping Stoops becomes permenant, and I really think this could be the final piece of the puzzle.

You always say, "this could be the final piece of the puzzle" and look what happens.

/\\/\\/\\ I\'d like to nominate this for post of the year.

I liked the 3 piece (alot).

I like Raq.

I like The Breakfast with Raq (Stoops) sit ins.  

This should be good.

Thanks Matt.  Very classy to recognize it\'s when it\'s not right for you, and then help find a top notch replacement.

well, as much as i like matt and his musical submissions, i have been thinking lately that, as boombox said, he was a bit too jazzy at times. not quite enough balls, not quite enough funk, not quite sure how to space it out without sliding into abstract jazz (all of which is fine, just not within the context of the breakfast). so, while i\'m sad there\'s another bump in the road for the band, i am glad that the band\'s music and success was forefront in everyone\'s thoughts and matt bowed out about as gracefully and classily as could ever be asked for. he saw his vision for himself, he saw the band\'s vision for itself and was able to see the differences and in the end did what was best for both. kudos and thanks to you, matt! now, let\'s see what the future unfolds...

[sjell]

Thanks Matt!...and best wishes!


I\'ve heard great things about Todd\'s playing, but haven\'t heard anything about his vocals/harmonies?  Can anyone weigh in on this?...and what role did he play in composing RAQ\'s music and lyrics?
