Bfast\'s Western momentum gone?
« on: June 21, 2005, 11:22:20 am »
So the guys have not been out west in over a year and 1/2. In that time TLG and ALO\'S audience has quadrupled out here. It used to be when going to these shows it would be easy to spread the Bfast love. Now I get the attitude of basically The Bfast yeah they\'re good but they never come out so why bother? TLG and ALO are pushing and pushing and making the treks out east. It seems the momentum that was building for The Bfast has petered out. I would be very surprised to see any sell outs when they come back other than Winston\'s
I know they have a booking problem right now but in all sincerity if this band wants to actually make a living making music they have to find the time to nurture the national audience.

leith, while i agree 100% that the b\'fast needs to get back west ASAP (though, it\'s actually been under a year, if you count the 2 CA Baja Bash dates), they are an east coast based band (no matter how business-smart or unsmart that may be).. the same thing you said about TLG and ALO\'s audiences out there could be said for the b\'fast\'s audience out here. i mean, mention TLG or ALO here, and a lot of people would say \'wait..who?\'. i didn\'t even know what ALO stood for until i just googled it..

but like i said, i do agree that they need to be out west SOON. hopefully the late-july 10k lakes fest could be a nice warm-up for a september-october western tour. as much as i love being able to see local shows, i\'d much rather have them be doing tours in worthwhile areas, and not a bar in bumfuck north dakota..

it\'s just really hard to do these things when you\'re suffering setback after setback.. now with the latest things with the booking agent and the van, who knows what\'s gonna happen and when...

Well since TLG and ALO never play out here, I guess we\'re even.

at least when the boys do make it out west there seems to be excitement of thier arrival and shows at least in Cali an AZ.  I have seen bands such as Tea Leaf Green and Perpetual Groove in the Northeast play ser fuckin doozies everytime. PGroove is HUGE down south, as is TLG on the left coast. just my .02

i flipped my ex-band\'s conversion van.  the thing tumbled many times and i believe it did a cartwheel as well.  i was sure i was going to die.  but i walked away unscathed.  wish i could have said the same about the van.  it didnt even look like a van anymore...

I\'m desperately waiting for a western tour for personal reasons (I\'m now located out here).  I hope a week or two of CA tour dates may compel some of you to come visit me and go on B-Fast tour.  Helluvahat (Mike) is staying at my house in a couple weeks while on a trip out west to the Chili Peppers - Weezer show with Peck and Lele.  I\'m hoping that many more of you make it here when the band does finally ink the CA calendar dates.

East Coast Hardcore Fo Life......

The Breakfast has been notified by the US Geological Survey that if they come out west too often, the ser power and soundwaves of a Buquebus, Mayfly, Score, Merge, Gladys Pimp, Fresh Cut, Tribal Funk and Lit will cause the already unsteady fault lines, which California rests on, to give way....now as much as I would enjoy watching Las Vegas become beachfront property, I dont think there would be enough time to evacuate all my family and friends....  

And lets not think about what would happen if they even thought  about playing a Mooboo\'s Voodoo (Episode Two-Doo) out there.....

I, of course, would love to see them out west, but knowing that they are an east-coast based band I can understand that they are doing what they need to do right now. Props to the boys.

We plan to be out west in the fall.  And yes, both the van and agent thing suck.  

Then again, as I elaborated in the Chase forum, I do think that finally dealing with the van thing with Josh Kroop will be good for all parties, and the agent thing will hopefully be resolved shortly with a really, really good agency...one that really understands how to step this thing up here, and that also has a great rep in Europe.

Anyway....we really want to get west.
