Can someone teach the extra hands of Stephen Gencs some of the basics?


while i\'m sure jenx could pull off doing some "basic" sound, I have no doubts that he has NO extra hands on the road.  From what I\'ve seen & heard, he\'s doing more than enough.   And actually, he could probably use a few MORE hands (and functioning brain cells) on his journeys :lol:


Moving a couple instruments around, how hard (and time-consuming) can that be?

I probably sound like a broken record, but maybe somebody can explain why the Breakfast has no gigs scheduled out west on 10/15, 10/16. 10/18, and 10/19 (with only the tuesday 10/17 San Fran gig in between).  It seems like a lot of nights paying for hotel rooms and not making any money or progress.  Maybe they need a break to enjoy the scenery - hell I don\'t go to work everyday so I can\'t criticize.  Maybe someone who is riding in the van knows what the plan is.  Are they going to hang out in San Fran for 5 days and enjoy the kb?

Seems like another opportunity missed, unless they seriously combed through every other viable club in the state for offers:rolleyes: .


They didn\'t seem to have any trouble finding Monday/Wednesday gigs last tour.

I can understand if they don\'t want to play the Sunday and Monday before the San Fran gig - those are the two worst nights to play and it would be a perfect chance to take a break and avoid getting burned out.  But it would be a missed oppurtunity not to play the wed/ thursday after San Fran.  I\'m sure they plan on something because it would be totally insane not to play either day - probably in a few days we\'ll see a gig pop up on jambase.

The main sound guy from The Space in Hamden, Chad, will be joining the band on the road as sound guy.  After the tout he will do some dates, as will Dobs.

As to dark dates, of course they are being looked at.   But on this tour everyone is trying to be a little more selective and some dates have been turned down because they would\'t earn enough to warrant the wear and tear on the band.  Some of the mid Cali markets are not places the band has a history....and as much as it might astonish you, not every booker we contact writes a check.  At any rate, some of those dates are already filled.

It will be interesting to see if chad has an effect on the guys sound. Not downplaying his abilities, but every tech adds their own touch the same way every guitarist has their own sound. There are def some things I love about dobs mixes, and other things I care less for. With someone new sitting behind the board for the tour I\'m interested to hear some of these shows.

welcome Chad!

Dobs is doing some stuff for other regional sound companies...one\'s with more money.

Dobs is a good sound guy.  He gets a good sound.  But he also gets very passive and has a tendency to "set it and forget it".  But whatever...he\'s been a net plus for the band.

Josh is an excellent LIVE sound engineer. I work w/ soundguys pretty much every job I do and he is one of the best I have heard when it comes to getting the most out of a band.

I know I am bummed he will not be on tour but I am sure his replacement is no hack so I guess I am in for a totally new Breakfast experience which is kinda neat.

You definitely haven\'t seen the last of Dobs.  He just couldn\'t make the tour.  We plan to have three guys familiar with Breakfast set up so we can cover a lot of touring this year.
