the amount of interest showed in this subject just about says it all. i\'m not sure why any festival or venue would even bother anymore.

i think the effort of the fanbase correlates directly to that of the band.

It\'s well known by now that CT fails to represent their home turf on a regular basis.

I would have been there but Astral Projections had a pretty fun festie/party gig that day and later on that night.

By the way, "Bfam" doesn\'t only apply to A) People from around New Haven, B) People like Yoda who still post here but never go to shows, and C) Breakfast.info regulars.

Pretty sure up in recent Northampton shows and up at Strange Creek there were some raging times. Half of these kids are barely 18, totally obsessed with The Breakfast, but use the internet sparingly and probably aren\'t even aware of this little hangout.

I missed Toads due to my own thing but I assume turnout was kinda shitty per usual. Breakfast should seriously consider relocating an hour and a half north... plenty of fresh blood up here and *yes* they are BFam ... whether you know them by some internet alias or not.

peace

Right. I\'ve never seen a band play their instruments so lazily on stage as The Breakfast...

Maybe has more to do with rampant negativity / bitching / moaning / "I\'m too old for this" attitude of a good segment of O.G. Breakfast fam.

Make way for the young blood and keep ragin up here. That\'s all.

yep, because there\'s nothing more to being in a band than playing instruments. that\'s all you have to do to make it.

I dunno brahs I just don\'t think "lack of effort" applies to The Breakfast.

Lack of luck, lack of management, lack of promotion maybe. But seriously these guys deserve more respect than simplified statements like that imply.

gonna play devils advocate for a moment

a. you make your own good luck with ser effort
b. there was once a manager who, despite a lot of undeserved criticism, put out a supreme effort for very little return.
c. when everything you read says contact  a band member for whatever......lack of promotion is clearly a lack of effort.

very simply....you cain\'t wait for/expect somebody else to do your work. this isn\'t how i make MY living.

i\'ve been thinking hard about hosting a bfam party....but i\'m concerned that it would be a dooze. very sad.

really? because you, yourself mentioned that if they relocated, their fanbase would grow.

do you think this is the first time in 10.5 years that someone came up with the idea that moving out of the musical black hole that is connecticut would be a good thing for the band\'s career??

it\'s not a secret. but relocation is something that takes a lot of balls and effort. but the breakfast decided to not leave their comfort zone and base themselves out of CT.
