Toad\'s Place; New Haven, CT

What time can we expect the Breakfast to be going on?

10:30 p.m. Could I possibly grab a ride up with you guys?

With 3 openers and Toads never on schedule, I wouldn\'t expect TB to take the stage before 11...

with ZERO openers I would still not expect to take the stage until 11pm...if this were a Friday/Saturday night.

on a thursday with curfew being btwn 12:30 and 1 I expect them to go on a little earlier (hopefully)

Openers never go on at show start, so assume that the first opener goes on at 9... And assume that each opener gets 1/2 hour to 45 minute that brings you to about 11 as long as they all use the same drum kit and amps...  Booking 3 openers on a Thursday nights says a couple things, but mainly it says that Toads feels that they need to add to the bill to get heads in the door and they don\'t have faith that the headliner will draw...  TB will get 1-1/2 set at most...

I would rather them play 1 long set that starts @ 11pm then try to do 2 sets that start @ 10:30pm.  I enjoy a good setbreak as much as the next guy, but often times a late start and a 30-45min setbreak = 45 minute second set.

I\'m sure the Breakfast is well aware of the timing and will do their best to get in as much music as possible.  Yoda, as usual this does not concern you as it means you would actually have to go to a show first

Set I: Jam> Rufus> curfew




just kidding, these guys can fit a lot of music into a tiny space, be it physical or temporal.  I agree with Nels, one heavy duty set from 11-close

[heynow592]

if my math is right, that is only one hour and half - yikes

Logistically, it only makes sense to play one long set when you headlining with 3 openers...  As for it not concerning me, that\'s your opinion... One doesn\'t have to be in close proximity or go to a ton of shows to see what\'s going on...  That being said, I\'ve been to more shows than you\'d believe...  I always thought that TB would be the next Max Creek, but no longer... TB may not go away, but their fanbase has dwindled to a few dozen hard-core fans in CT, Mass and update NY...  My prediction is that in less than 5 years, there will be another member change and we\'ll be talking about backing KF instead...

really going out on a limb there DBlock......

And for the record Flounder, I would venture a guess that Yoda has been to at least twice as many breakfast shows as you, not that show count matters or anything...just sayin thats all....

I gotta agree here, I think the Fu is a far more marketable band.  It is a \'super group\' so the draw is five fold.  The management team is A+.  Logical goals have been set forth and the process is working.  Kung Fu should go somewhere.

They\'re a talented group, but let\'s put the term Super Group back in the drawer....  It\'s not like they\'re Blind Faith...

[krispy]

we\'ll each member has their own fan base.  Together they have a bigger fanbase.  Thus, supergroup.  It\'s not like a tim side project, or a stoops gig, they really draw.  Sometimes even better than their respective "main" gigs.  Could the Breakfast really sell out Stella\'s five weeks in a row?  once yes, twice maybe, but for over a month, I doubt it.

I\'m not knocking the talent, but Stella\'s is a bar with probably a capacity of 200, not really hard to break if you\'ve got somewhat of a following...
