lots of great points made all around. at the end of the day, i think we all should remember that whether the band "makes it" or not -- which of course i hope they do -- we are lucky to have ever had something known as the "bfam." it\'s a phenomenon that not many people in this world get to experience, and i feel lucky to have been a part of it for so long now. there have been good times and bad times. times when i was hitting the pavement flyering my ass off and times when i had completely written the band off and said fuck it; times when my face was completely owned and times when i left saying eh; times when i was grooving shoulder to shoulder with you all and times when i was literally one of only a handful of people on the dance floor. i\'m not willing to give up on this band yet, but i\'m also being realistic. i think any band needs to essentially live a life on the road for a while to ever really expand its fan base to a sustainable level, and it doesn\'t seem those are the lives the breakfast are looking to lead at this stage of the game. i don\'t blame them, either. that\'s rough, and they\'re not kids anymore. yet so long as they are making music that i enjoy, i will be supporting the band to my fullest -- and of course be loving every second i get to spend with the wild pack of bfam!


As eloquent as ever!! :)

I may not have ever met any bfam face to face, but I feel like I know many here. Yes, it is good to be part of a select community who supports their band through thick and thin, so let\'s keep doing it. I see no reason to give up on the boys as some seem to have. Watched the Crash Mansion DVD on the weekend and it still gave me the same feeling as when back in early 2000, I first heard Eppy 1. I love this band and will continue to do all I can to support them.

Sure, there are songs I\'d love to hear live again - the setlist rotation is becoming a little limited, but that\'s only what we think as the hardcore followers of the band; the average punter will not recognise that he\'s just heard the 8th Tunage this month - he will just leave knowing he\'s just experienced something special and hopefully bring back friends the next time.

Galenas, very well said.  I too am very grateful for the bfam, through the ebbs and flows in the band\'s career.  It\'s hard to ignore that this current time is a more low-key one, probably due to a combination of many factors already brought up by davepeck and others.  I personally would love to hear some new songs.  I can\'t muster up the excitement over and over if there isn\'t anything new. :shrug:  But I don\'t take them for granted, and I know I\'ve been very lucky to have enjoyed many phenomenal shows.

Breakfast could never perform a new original again for the next 10 years and I don\'t think it would really bother me much. These guys already have tons of epic material and each time they play a song it\'s like a new song anyway :P

And you know what, I cannot recall for the life of me regardless of the circumstances a Breakfast show where I have not thoroughly enjoyed myself.  Not one.

If trees could scream do you think we would be so cavalier to cut them down? Maybe if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Probably the worst thing about having King Kong run rampant in your town would be the huge, monster genitalia.
