Wasn\'t the boat cruise a Dopapod / Kung Fu boat cruise?

Dopapod is at least as popular as Kung Fu. In fact they are the headliners at Mill Street gig and the main reason why I\'m probably going to go.

Just sayin\'.. I bet it was a lot of Dopapod fans... Having Tim / Rob / Stoops in the band makes for some initial interest I\'m sure but it might take a while for Kung Fu to grow a real (hardcore) fanbase like The Breakfast has.


i was just coming to say this exact thing.  ive been seeing dopapod\'s name all over the place. like everywhere.  and im pretty sure they do really well up in beantown and such, no?

i dont view Fu as a side project. just as another band with tim and adrian as a part of it

I was watching The Greatest Movie Ever Sold by Morgan Spurlock and he had Michael Levine of Levine Communications(a Huge Hollywood PR Firm) on and he said in the context of celebrity and credibility in today\'s day and age if your not visible your not credible.

I see this as being applicable to bands these days also. It\'s why I was always dead set against the band becoming regional as I felt it was a death blow to them making a living as The Breakfast.
With Kung Fu getting more gigs out of the smallish circle they play now Tim and Adrian again become visible on the scene and thus more credible. Getting West with Kung Fu is very important and I\'m stoked their doing so.

Mokijam > Psychedelic Breakfast > Diesel Experiment > The Breakfast > Beatles A-Z / Good Time Boys > Kung Fu....

The only constant is Tim Palmieri and Adrian Tramantono...  

The only parts out of that group that weren\'t side projects were PB/TB from about 1999-2008, when they stopped playing gigs around the country and sectioned themselves off to a radius of ME to about PA and Kung Fu from 2010 to present...

You can come at me with arguments that I haven\'t been around and they are valid.  But even Gencs will admit that 99-01, I was as immersed in the "PB world" as can be...  I spent a ton of money on costumes for UMass concerts and spent countless hours with the band and Paul Ryan on the NGNL video.  These guys were my life for those years...  

But if you allow yourself to take a step back and take The Breakfast Sunglasses off, you\'ll see that priorities have shifted to what is going to propel Tim and Adrian (the constants)...  

I may not like KF as much as TB, but at least it\'s new music coming out of the duo...

I\'m as much a fan of Dangle and Jordan as Tim and Adrian.

"constant" or not TB is in prime form right now

Amen brother. Those guys are the shiznitobamm!

A lot of good things have been said in this thread so far. I don\'t really see the Fu as a side project. I think I did at first, but after some time has passed I see them as roots of the same tree. I have to echo some earlier sentiments that I just want all of these guys to be happy. I would be as crushed as anyone here if tB stopped gigging altogether, but even one show a year would be better than any other band out there that plays 5 nights a week or every weekend or whatever. I want nothing but the best for all of these guys. They will do whats right.

I wish there was more Breakfast talk and new threads but I will take what I can get.

Damn I am jonesing for a show bad!

Isn\'t there even a step further back where Mokijam was originally named Magic?
