Spring Tour 2006 - Dates & Discussion

opening for the Phix?

I just saw that also.
 I think it would be laughable anywhere except CO. Phix may not be a huge national name but in CO. I believe they have quite a following.
Also I think it can be a chance for Timmy to play some Phish songs if he sits in w/ Phix. That would be what is that word? Oh yeah SER!!!!!!!

I just dont\' like the idea of teh guys opening up for a cover band

Totally understand. I am trying real hard to just see the positive that can come out of it if the crowd is large. The crowd will be full of folk perfectly set up to accept the type of music The Breakfast play.
 Come on let\'s face it if you like Phish @ all you will find something in The Breakfast that stokes you out.
No offense to Phix @ all but their "Trey" has absolutely nothing on TimmyP so people will walk out blown away.

I see this tour as just setting up future ones. The venues are pretty well matched to the band\'s aud. and I can see if they do well in certain spots, slightly larger venues are near by for nxt tour.

What if the cover band was DSO in a theater?

I think it\'s better than not playing at all as far as income and exposure* are concerned.


*Assuming people are there in time for a hearty Breakfast

[leith]

Thanx for the Calender update Dave.

even worse...

[Steffmo]

Phix is huge in Denver....hometown.  when you are on tour there are two reasons to play: 1) to get paid where you can draw and 2) to develope fans in the towns where you can\'t pull ehough to get paid well.  The promoter in denver loves the band, but even the band admits they can\'t pull 100 folks.  So this is a good way to build buzz in a good town.  ALSO what to don\'t see there is that next door at Cervantes is Zero....featuring one Steve Kimock.  After they play their show....you can imagine where TPalms might find himself jamming........

So, we think its a decent way to pass that night in Denver.  Perhaps not our first choice, but an ok solution.

Bfast>Zero? Now THAT\'S a night out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i believe anyone can add shows to jambase

[jocelyn]

Rujah how are your digest submissions coming along?

[Me!]

don\'t get me wrong I know sometimes what has to be done has to be done, but I juswt wish there was another way.  but like has been said, there will be people there, and that\'s what matters exposure.

I just don\'t like it, but it\'s the right thing to do

I don\'t mind the idea of opening up for bands, especially when they are in there home town. you need to do what you need to do. a lot of the bands out there didn\'t just make it headlining shows.
