I alluded to this yesterday in another thread, but it deserves its own IMHO. The Nateva Music Festival taking place in Oxford, Maine July 2,3,4 features virtually every major progressive band on the scene today with one exception:TB! Is the band already booked elsewhere for these dates? Is it economics? It doesn\'t make sense. Oxford is 4-5 hrs tops from New Haven, and this festival is going to draw a massive crowd...TB could BLOW IT UP! What\'s more, the official Nateva website offers a link for bands not yet included to vye for a spot. There\'s still time, so if anyone personally knows any TB band members please advocate for NATEVA! Here\'s the website:

really hope they get added to this too but who knows with the way things have been going this past year
i agree. i\'d love to see them added...definitely going to be a huge draw with furthur, moe, and the FLips. could be as simple as they weren\'t invited.
Agreed.
Send an email to their booking agent whomever that is these days.
This is the same weekend as the Tickler\'s wedding if i\'m not mistaken. The Breakfast NEEDS to be on this bill IMO. As fans I guess all we can do is hope that someone is gonna MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Tickler\'s wedding is July 5
there\'s also still an opening for an unsigned (does that apply?) band at clapton\'s crossroads fest...
Here\'s the link to the Nateva promoter\'s site, which proclaims a band will recieve between $300-$5,000 for their performance, depending on the band.

The site claims at least 10,000 people will attend, and judging from the lineup and the fact that Phish will be playing in faraway Georgia and N.C. those same days, its a good bet at least that many people will be at Nateva.
I\'ll carry around a tip hat if TB makes it, and I\'ve only been listening to these guys for a year.
We have a grassroots crew!
Gee, this is how Phish & Moe made it...
Keep going ya\'all!!!
p.s. you get more notes for your money too!

Notes are overated...quite often its the note not played that makes a musical phrase special. I\'d take one Garcia note (try, Stella Blue) over a hundred Anastasios or Palmieiris, and I\'m big fan of both Trey and Tim.
some one get on this quick
If Breakfast ain\'t playing Nateva I\'m going to High Sierra.
**** this
****. Who\'se in charge here?
