Wed. 3/8 - St. Louis - CANCELLED

[Spacey]

My understanding is that the Jazz Haus in Lawrence tonight is not a better venue than Pop\'s is.

[fuckthebreakfast]

They originially were scheduled to play at The Venice Cafe last night but the show was switched to Pop\'s Blue Moon.

edit: don\'t give me any crap about this venue change either. Bands have to bring their own PA to the Venice Cafe\'(original venue) as well.

that show has been scheduled to be at pop\'s since Feb 23 as far as I know? From a local STL music website:

Lame excuse.

[fuckthebreakfast]

there are a lot of run of the mill bands that have talented musicians.

what separates good bands from bad ones is the songs....not how much the guitar player can shred a sweet solo.

[ScottT]

you are well within your right to be pissed about the unprofessional decision they made to ditch a gig, but you can\'t say they\'re not talented musicians.

I would never say they aren\'t talented musicians.  I\'ve only seen them once, but they blew me away!  I\'ve dl\'ed several recordings from archive.org and have a Tim solo acoustic show that never leaves my car.

It\'s very disappointing to expect another "peak" musical experience and have it cancelled at the last minute for what appears to be petty complaints and possibly damaging to their fanbase...

true, but these guys have been busting out some pretty good compositions as of late.  i understand that you are very pissed.  i\'m not too happy about the situation and i\'m in new york, but they are definitly doing very good musical things recently.

I know I sure the hell am not blaming it on the venue change.

I can pull out the master gig list from the 7th of February that has them Venice and for one reason or another it was changed around the 23rd to Pop\'s. Which should have been ample enough time to make all changes needed.

cool.  we\'re on the same page.

The Breakfast has no class. I don\'t care how good they might be. I will never ever see them or recomend them to anyone i know.

[Jim Cobb]

thats too bad.  this is why their decision was really poor form...  i will not back them up on this decision.

[Spacey]

I\'d like to know what management has to say about this. It had been dubbed the best tour yet, that was planned.

Let\'s see in 2 days, 1 doozie and a cancellation.

Great start.

[Jim Cobb]

i was hoping to hear from vic already...

I don\'t even think most loyal fans are backing this decision (given the information we have), though this situation really isn\'t a good reflection of the band we know (and love).  I first saw them in 1999, and they have delivered nothing but great shows and vibes ever since then.  That\'s why this cancellation doesn\'t bode well, as it doesn\'t provide a good indication of who they really are.  They are a great bunch of guys with extraordinary musical talents (even when a crowd is limited to only a few people).  

My first impression was quite the opposite of yours (I stumbled into the show, having never heard a jamband and they basically turned my musical world upside down), and while it may be tough to bring yourself back to the Breakfast table, I urge you to give it a second go.

From the band: there was no sound system, no lights, no stage, smaller and would be similar if not worse than having to play back at Rudys. It is nice to feel good and leave a show with some confidence and energy for the next one and makes traveling in a van a lot more enjoyable. doozies kill  the mood of the tour and would have been a huge frustration factor. I guess they went and actually practiced/ went over some new songs they want to play in the next few shows and made a productive night out of it. good for them.

You know what? Next time you talk to the band tell them to never come back to St. Louis, ever.  What a bunch of pretentious assholes.  They not only just dissed one of the most intimate venues in st. louis, a nice production company, The Loyal Family(You might know them with their involvement in getting a ton of up and coming bands into the Wakarusa festival), but they also dissed their fans because they are too cool for the venue.  Screw that!  I\'ve never seen or heard of band pull such a lame move.  What a joke!

Maybe if their new booking agent who they are SOOOO proud of wasn\'t a dumbass they would have known to bring their own PA and lights?  If they are too big for that, then why did their dumbass booking agent book them at Pop\'s Blue Moon without knowing the full details?

All this shows is that The Breakfast has no class.  I\'ve seen much better bands play in bigger rooms to only 5 people. They could have cancelled the gig and practiced at their buddy\'s house, but NO, they played for the people who truly enjoy their music.  It\'s called....appreciating your fans.  Obviously The Breakfast knows nothing about that and doesn\'t care for their fans in St. Louis.  I was actually thinking about going to the show.  A friend of mine said their guitar player is great and pretty much the reason to check out the band.  Well, now i\'m never going to see The Breakfast ever and I\'m telling all my friends that this band has no class, there another run of the mill jamband with a guitarist who sounds just like Trey did in 91, and to never give them one cent of their money.

To all members of The Breakfast:  keep practicing.

Just to clarify. You said in your long rant you were thinking about going to the show. Does that mean that you didn\'t bother to go ? and if so why such a hard on to come off as the biggest hater ?

I think it was stupid for them to cancel a show at the last minute and even dumber if they did it in an unprofessional manner.

However having said that. for you to come here and say the band has no class is just stupid and ignorant. You say you have never seen them but then go on and on to trash them, I can understand people being pissed but you sir are way out of line

[KBNug]

go fuck your mother!!!

Are the fans a reflection of the band, or vice versa?

The Breakfast better try the I-80 Iowa/Nebraska route next time....at least there are even fewer people up there for them to alienate.
