Southern Tour!!!

[origen]

I am totally hyped about this southern tour.  The question is not whether I will attend a show, but how many shows I will attend. I am hoping for more Georgia dates and hopefully a metro ATL gig (just don\'t play at Jake\'s Toadhouse unless it is with P Groove).  Athens GA will be sick, and the Carolinas should be live, especially since you guys are touring with P Groove - GOOD MOVE!  Even though I am tired of seeing P Groove, because they got overexposed in ATL, and I will say right now THE BREAKFAST IS AN EXPONENTIALLY BETTER BAND - this will help your exposure.  I am also hoping for one or more Asheville dates.  I will do street team for any GA gig, + Asheville.

 One more thing: I sincerely hope The Breakfast will get equal or near equal set time vs. P Groove during this tour.  I would hate to see The Breakfast be reduced to doing 60 minute opening sets.  Ideally, both bands should get to do two hours each night of the tour, or better yet ALTERNATING SETS.  Considering The Breakfast is by far the superior band (and this coming from a man who has seen both bands several times) They should not have to play second fiddle on this tour.  Anyway, I will look at your schedule and try to coordinate as many road trips as I can, and I will get in touch with your promo people as soon as I can figure out which shows I can take care of for you.  Also Bar Tabs/ Puff are on me for anyone who makes the trip to Georgia.

Also mad props for P Groove for helping you guys out down here.  I didn\'t want to sound critical of them but I\'ve seen them do the same setlist a million times (but it is a very good setlist and they are still a very good band).  For someone seeing P Groove for the first time, I am sure you will be very impressed.  They are cool as shit for helping you guys get in on the southeast.

depending on what days of the week they fall on, I will be at all shows within a 2-3 hour radius of Birmingham

yo Marcial, while your waiting for PB to head south you should check out the Seth Yacovone Band tonight...

not sure how far away you are from Huntsville, AL ?? but they are playing at Crossroads

what about some northern va PB gigs? maybe arlington, falls church??  caught SYB\'s show at the Funk Box in Baltimore a few months ago...that venue should be a fun time for PB!

[Marcial]

Just checked the schedule... I will be at Huntsville & Athens fo\' shizzle.  

Hopefully they will pick up an ATL weekend show & let\'s not forget BIRMINGHAM.... JOSH, LET\'S NOT FORGET BIRMINGHAM... or Tuscaloosa....

[Marcial]

Charlotte is only 6.5 hrs from Birmingham... and it\'s on Sat night... I\'m there too....

I\'m definitely doing Athens, Statesboro, and Charlotte - maybe Huntsville although I talked to Seth Yac at his ATL show and he said Huntsville was dead - I guess that\'s all the more reason a few of us should travel there to liven up the place.   But yeah PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE schedule an Atlanta show, or Asheville.  Even without P Groove I can promise to conjure up a decent crowd for ATL, especially if you do Brandyhouse or Smith\'s Olde Bar.  Try to get the Saturday afternoon gig at Smith\'s at 4:20 PM.  Seth Yac did this afternoon gig and got a good crowd, and because the 4:20 PM gig is hosted by a local radio DJ, YOU WILL GET RADIO AIRPLAY!!!!!!

It looks like the Southern Tour (at least the shows I can go to) is all with either Umphree\'s or PGroove... is PB opening all of these shows, or headlining, or swapping?  Anyone?

I was going to take a week off in March to go to Florida and see some PB along the way but have since changed my plans.  I found round trip airfare From Boston to San Francisco for only $158, and both flights are nonstop.  Too good of a deal to pass up.  I may try to coordinate a trip south on a future vacation week to relax and see some Staven Groove.

sounds like the southern tour is going to be hot! pb and umphrey\'s - are you frickin\' kidding me??? you are all lucky bastards down there! enjoy.

Yeah that Athens show with UM is going to be ridiculous.  At last count I will definitely be going to Athens, Charlotte, and Birmingham, and possibly Columbia.  I would do Huntsville but the tuesday night thing is going to mess me up.  But hey Marcial - how about that - a BIRMINGHAM GIG!!!  And it\'s with the Big Wu, another sick band. It should be a hell of a night of music.  The fact that PB is only opening on a lot of these gigs is a slight disadvantage, but most of the bands they\'re opening for are also pretty sick - If you\'re gonna travel it might as well be to see a killer twin bill.

[Marcial]

I was planning to do Huntsville, but now I am going to skip it to go to Tuscaloosa instead... can really only do 1 weeknight show that week & T-town should bet much better because they are headlining & I\'ve heard that Huntsville is dead during the week.  Also planning to hit Athens, Charlotte, & B-ham...

Always a good decision, Marcial!  Tuscaloosa is the best city PB plays, and The Booth might be the best venue ever.  I would never miss a show there if I were unemployed.
