Does it really matter if its a band or a hobby right now? I\'m not at all trying to be condescending to anyone that has offered an opinion here. This band has been through a couple of pretty significant periods of change lately. So if they\'ve entered into a bit of a slower period touring, is really that bad if its thats what they need to survive? I\'d rather see them scale back thier road time rather than break up. Someone mentioned something about checking out other bands which is an option. And I understand that us Connecticuter\'s do get to see them more frequently then most... especially lately. Even without the Breakfast though I highly encourage everyone and anyone to check out anything these guys do on the side because it just as enjoyable most times. If seeing them is really that meaningful... then you gotta take what your given for now until they\'re ready to do whatever it is they are going to do for the future.
Save your breath don. this thread is basically a tantrum. you can bring all the logic in the world to the discussion about why you shouldn\'t put your hand on the stove top, but it\'s not gonna stop the tears.
No it\'s not a tantrum it is a valid question.
The band was having a rough time of it near the end of 2008.
I actually recommended they take a break in a PM to the 3 freaking out before Jordan returned as I thought it would be better than folding.
Hell I even pushed for a Trio if that was what it would take to keep the band going.
So I was ecstatic when they got Jordan back into the band.
They followed this with from all reports some of the best Breakfast shows TO DATE!
Then NOTHING!
No announcements on .org or here on .info other than they were no longer going to tour for the immediate future and that was just a post by Adrian in the middle of a thread.
Nothing about a break, nothing about leaving Crescendo(oh wait there was another post by Adrian lost in some thread also), there\'s an old blurb about new management on .org but we all saw how those guys worked out.
So for someone who is on the other side of the country it would be nice to be a bit informed on what is going on. If it means staring threads like this so be it.
I am just boggled why they can\'t play around town at least.
Jordan can\'t possibly be working 12 hour shifts 7 days/week.
I am positive they could have booked a couple of gigs around his work schedule.
I would think at least playing around home would be happening if they were not touring.
Whatever, enjoy your Kool-Aid kids.
iam down with freddie, thatguy and slim...its always about bitching, moaning and tantrums on this thread..no one is ever happy around here....
no offense, but there are some forces of nature that are beyond your control, one of which is leith\'s constant anger at the direction this band is taking or not taking at all. its best to just stay out of it for your own mental health.
i, on the other hand, have lost all mental health long ago, so i have no issue taking one for the team.
It\'s not constant. When they are actually being a band and touring for ALL of their fans I have no problems whatsoever.
So with the posts I have seen from Adrian, 2009 promises to be brimming with my anger. Thus my decision to frequent this Kool-Aid site less often as I predicted when I left in July of last year.
