Breakfast music kicks ass. Breakfast business sense? Not so much.
Can we all sing along? M-I-C-K-E-Y........
Show up and then slink away w/o telling the owner of the club. That is weak.

Oh and Treychica Monterey probably does not want The Bfast so let that go. Really MPA is a professional booking agency remember?

26 in Iowa City is a fluke. Not to drop so low ever again. BUT I\'m listening to the show right now and it kicks ass... care to know way? Because Iowa City’s full of chill folks, not whiny ass holes from STL. Perhaps it wasn\'t the lack of a proper equipped gig but TB not wanting to play for a bunch of pricks.

Just a thought.

and klout, where do you come off saying the band\'s ego is bigger than their fanbase or whatever? whats your backup on that one? cuz i fail to see any signs of an egotistical problem.

hmmm....recently....the band thinking they are too good to even play a venue after drawing 27 people the night before?

if you consider that to be on the humble side of the spectrum I think your vision may be a bit clouded homie

lucinda williams is the shit.

Yes she is! I hadn\'t really heard a note of hers until I saw her open for the Allman Brothers last September. I listen to that disc way more than I have the Allman\'s set. She is not normally taper-friendly, so it was fortuitous that I was able to make an open-rig recording of her set.

Unfortunately my tax bill is outrageous this year and I can only go to low-cost or no-cost shows until I pay the feds on 4/17. That big list I posted before? I\'ll honestly only see a couple of those shows - most likely P-Groove and The Slip. Curse my poor accounting skillz!

i think its all kinda funny. one cancelled gig, no big deal, people\'s lives will go on as they were. sure it would\'ve been cool to gain a few more fans in st. louis, but they blew their chance, shit happens. if people are gonna hold it against them and call them classless, thats their issue.

the band are a great bunch of guys and if you found out first hand instead of jumping to conclusions based on one misunderstanding, then you\'re as classless as anyone.

the porter\'s show when they got new management was cancelled because of what looks to me to be a similar situation and i remember that being dobson\'s call. so there are millions of ways this could\'ve panned out.

all i have to say is Cobb is right.... if you are drawing 26 people... why would you not play a smaller club, just like the breakfast had to graduate to Toads from smaller bars like Cafe Nine..... Remember, you\'re half way acrossed the country.... you havent played the region in 2 full years..... you changed your name.... not to offend anyone, but suck it up, mic the vocals and kick drum, play your hearts out, and win over a bar full of kids, because next time when you are at Cicero\'s, that bar full of kids will each tell 2 other people and there doubles your crowd.

and Wah, as far as sticking to Syracuse and Albany, most college kids dont have cars, and cant have cars due to college rules until they are jr\'s and sr\'s due to lack of parking, makes it hard for the 175 Oneonta fans, to fit into Klout\'s car..... considering My car is here in Colorado, Erics car is in Troy, and ellis\'s van is in New Haven... All transportation is thrown out the window.... The Breakfast drew as many people to the general clinton Pub as they did to Revolution Hall.

I love the breakfast, and I try to do everything and anything I can to get their name out there, and I always have and I always will But theres a lot of truth to what a lot of people are saying, and its kind of frustrating......

and someone mentioned Raq..... Raq has 1/2 the talent that the breakfast does, and have twice the fan base now, as much as I dont want to admit it. Look at their tour, they must be doing something right

should the band be playing huge venues in front of sold out crowds? yes. is this the reality of their situation? no.

we/they need to accept the things we/they cannot change, and take action to change the things we/they can. this would include playing dirty little hole in the wall venues if it means it will get them even a baby step closer to being where they want to and should be.

no denial here, just not gonna jump to any conclusions or say they\'re \'too good\' for anything before i hear the whole story. this same band had no issues playing in front of 26 people the night before, or 5 or so in canada a month or so ago, so apparently they weren\'t too good for that. maybe the rockstar fairy came to them in their sleep last night.

hey kid talk to me after you\'ve been on the road for a month and a half alright GUY!! then maybe you\'ll have a fuckin clue about how these things work, but I doubt it. I\'m not saying it was a great decision, but we weren\'t there, and at least I\'m not coming on the board telling everyone I\'m boycotting shows, how\'s that supposed to any good, I love these guys if that\'s a fault so be it.

oh wait I"m sorry they\'re supposed to be playing in a venue that ripps them off (yeah they did) has piss on the walls and lets kids who look liek they\'re 15 in to get sloppy rightr in front of the stage THAT"S a GREAT business decision
