Setlist: [Kung Fu] 2009-12-28 - Stella Blues; New Haven, CT

[Gfunk]

I wish I lived in New Haven

bottom line is it\'s the bands product to give.  Right now they are happy giving it away.  Who the fuck cares.

Agreed.

IMHO, this is the best thing for them. Adrian told me that people where watching in Thailand a couple weekends ago. Not sure if he was explaining how he liked the webcasts or if there were actually people watching in Thailand. Either way this creates such an exposure that it would take years to without the webcast.

It doesn\'t seem to be affecting anything either.

If it wasn\'t for the webcast the people from Bonnaroo might have never seen the show. Didn\'t make it up last week because of the snow.

I support the webcast.  i work most mondays and am too far to get there, but sometimes i can get to my house in time to catch the 2nd set!!!

bout to start watchin last nights show- pumped!!

I know for a fact the webcast link posted on other boards has gotten people in the door the following week who would never have heard of this project.  

It is also awesome for people like myself to connect with this new band from so far away each week.  

Big thanks to Matt Vallo for making it happen!

I wish Pschedelic Breakfast had live webcasts during their beginning residency at The Brick House. Keep the webcasts going. Kung Fu is barely a month old and they are getting good exposure. Stella Blues has a good crowd on pretty much every monday and it almost feels like a weekend the second the band plays the first note. If anything, change the residency from monday to thursday. The place would practically be packed if it was a free show on a thursday night. Webcast, facebook announcements, show reviews (outside of .info) are just a few ways to get them exposed. There are plenty more ways. That\'s just my two cents, which I was saving up to pay your mom, but she said it was her pleasure.

Sorry Steve - keep the webcast going! (You were a big star last night, BTW!)
   Don\'t believe that there is the technology out there to regulate any type of online radius blackout.  I personally have caught 3 shows live, and the others online.  Despite how great the online access is, there is NOTHING like being there live.  Once you have experienced Stella Blue Fu, you (and your friends/friends/friends) will always choose live as a 1st option.
  Last night, a pretty good amount of people watching online, but never more than 15-20 at one time (and from what I could tell, most were from out of state).  During the show, someone posted that they promoted the ustream link on many of the other jamband pages (Phish, moe, Biscuits, etc).  That\'s where this project really needs to be promoted.

This guy!

I was also posting the Phish set II updates and Minnesota/Chicago score as well.

Oh and here\'s my $0.02 regarding the AV Club webcasting these shows.....FUCKING STOP IT.  Or at least set it up in a way where if you are within 100 miles of the venue, the webcast is blacked out.......

I have not even gotten past this post. You may have come around.
Steve you are wrong. Really You have no CLUE what this exposure is doing for them OUTSIDE of podunk CT. The reason there is no scene in CT. is because it\'s CT..
No other reason than that.
Get over it.

If there was no webcast going on there would not be the interest being cultivated every monday of people THOUSANDS of MILES away for this project.

Some people not even that into The Breakfast now dig the KUNG-FU and are re investigating The Breakfast.

So in that matter it is a help 2 fold.

As for the people within driving distance well that is a sad thing but I know getting rid of the webcasts would do more harm than good as far as publicity.

The one week there was no webcast people were ser bummed and not just me.
Believe It

Honestly i just felt like having some fun with my buddy Flounder.......all i know is that its a great little thing.  who knows where the fuck its going but i am glad its got some legs......heres to 2010....go git em boys.....and for the record i was only requesting blackout for local area folks who should come out to the show....really was a bad argument because i didnt believe it myself.......

all i know is....i sure enjoyed working overtime at the firehouse a lot better with some kung fu webcast to listen to....couldn\'t see shit though with that big whistling wook in the way all night!

I missed most of the first set, but what I saw was some very fine music.  Ventriloquist had some insane energy; the second set took off during Scarlet Begonias and never came back down!  Chakrabarty Overdrive 2 is a great song, and sounded fantastic (coulda used some more volume, but whateva).  The drum solo came out of nowhere and melted faces.  I think manimal eats metronomes for breakfast and shits time signatures I\'ve never imagined let alone heard.
The drive home was treacherous, good thing I was all hopped up on caffeine.  Going up 89 in vt was surreal; blizzard whiteout so bad I couldn\'t see my hood at times.  I had to navigate by driving three feet from the guardrail cause the outline of the road was nowhere to be found.
Lots of fun chillin with yall, b\'fam sure are some cool folks .

I\'ll be catching any/every Kung Fu show that I can from now on.  But next up is NYE!!!

[Jim Cobb]

the webcast is the reason i\'m probably going to make it out to a show soon.


maybe we should ban taping in general.  i mean if i can hear mp3s from a couple room mics the next week, why even go to the show?

NYE: Timmy circles the stage backwards on a unicycle while playing guitar behind his head and juggling between notes.
