It\'s always been my belief if their vocals matched their playing they would have been unstoppable. It\'s the number one complaint about The Breakfast which really can\'t be argued against.


The two best vocal tunes they have are Question Mark & The Mind and Vera Street... Neither get love from most fans, but if they did more stuff like that, I\'m betting that they wouldn\'t be going on hiatus and we wouldn\'t have to settle for KF if we wanted some new music from Tm/Adrian...

what are you talking about Question Mark and the Mind never got love?? who doesn\'t love that song?

I stand by my statement... maybe back in 2001 when i first heard PB their vocals weren\'t the strongest.. but as a band they have definitely learned how to sing since then. TB circa 2011 is a vocally dynamic force.

Tim sings Boon or Boom right?

Right.

Boon or Boom is out of the rotation and probably has not been played for a year or more.  I asked Tim to play it at a solo acoustic show and he declined.  since set lists are not posted and few shows are recored. who knows?  maybe its being held back for a studio release?

^^ my favorite kung fu song. they must think it sounds too breakfasty or someone in the band has a problem with it, because its too good of a song to just forget about! wtf are tim palmieri fans supposed to do if we cant hear him sing original music with a band while breakfast is on hiatus??? please bring this song back!

KF isn\'t a vocal band...
TBs vocals were never great...  Ron and Chris can sing well... Tim is okay...  Matt always sounded like Peter Brady singing When It\'s Time To Change and Adrian, well, shouldn\'t be singing aside from his part in Buquebus, which Tim seems to have taken over...

that usually only happens when when the sound guy mutes the drum vocal mic because adrian is not using it, and then he has no idea that it needs to be unmuted when that section comes up, so tim has to take over

When was the last time that was played more than 2 times a year?   The band may have a lot of tunes, but they don\'t have the arsenal of say Phish, who can hold out the fan favorites for a "once a tour"...

Fine... Do a FF and add a hiatus into the mix and play the same 5-10 songs they\'ve been playing for the last year and a half...

what do you expect from a band that has been fading and dying to take a break ?  im kind of surprised they are doing this show at all but i guess its suiting for them to do before a hiatus

I don\'t think The Breakfast has been fading...

maybe they faded a few times over the years.. but now the momentum is right in their favor.

whenever they decide to start playing again I\'m sure it\'ll pick up really well

Honestly, what they should do is something like they did for the Stolen Equipment Show back in \'01...  Now that was a show...
