So reports from the Dancing Wu Li festival...

[leith]

lead me to believe that The Breakfast are finally being recognized a bit more (in the northeast) as a band that can handle a co/headlining spot at festivals.

It seems they have been moving up the chain fairly quickly at the small fests they frequent. The upgrade in stage this year @ 10KLF can only increase this recognition.
It is a step a long time coming and worthy of notice I felt.

wu li was a cool festival.  only my 3rd (it and moe.dow before), but this was a sweet space and it was great to watch this band play.  people kept showing up as each song passed..........

With a few exceptions...(High Sierra) the better ptomoters are starting to trust the whole organization.  A lot is the bands consistantly good performance.  some is the consistancy of having the same agent/management team working for a bit now.  Like a lot of businesses....its pretty clubby and it takes time to get into the clique.

There are a couple of promoters and agents that have helped by recommending the band when asked.....the folks at CES and PGA in particular hav esupported the idea of the band being on better bills, and that just comes from building better relationships.

Personally I think the most important upcoming dates  will be the ones with Moe......Its one thing to be in a festival with 30 or so bands....but to to make three band bills is 7k capacity places is a bigger coup for the band, even playing first.

Several tapers in attendance mentioned that the Breakfast set was their most "mentionable" of the day.  

A chick walking through the parking lot about 10 minutes before bkfst was going to start asked me how the next band was.  I said great, come you should check em out.  Later I saw her and 3 others set up mid filed and catch the whole show.  I didn\'t get a chance to ask her if she liekd it6, but it looked as if she did.!

Hey, moe. and UM got a cool vibe and all, but I have heard a lot of shows from the Archive on the three bands and I wouldn\'t trade ten shows (downloads) of those bands for one Breakfast show. The Breakfast is a vastly under-exposed band that should be opening for RHCP rather than moe. and UM. They are the band I have been looking for most of my adult life, and I ain\'t young. Please come to DC as soon as you can manage it.
