The problem is NOONE knows this band EXISTS.
Not true - I always enclose a breakfast show with every trade I do - got some to finish off for Malta, Spain and Germany this week. Yeah, am singlehandedly trying to build the Euro-Breakfast Crew!!
To be serious, I think we all try to do our bit to break the band, be it flyering, freebies etc. It will happen - the guys have too much talent for it not to.

and im sure everyone appreciates the work you do on the other side....
and since he\'s posted in this thread, let\'s not forget the addition of greg ellis to the band this year.. even if the band hasn\'t met all your expectations in 2005, i believe that\'s a pretty major accomplishment..
After the debacle of my last thread many may think I\'m an ass.
That\'s cool.
I thought this board was here to discuss all things Breakfast.
Good AND Bad
I know I have posted alot about other bands lately(moe. and TLG mainly). This is because I am able to SEE these bands and am excited @ over how far they are both coming along.
The Breakfast is still my favorite band. As a matter of fact when asked why I was flying back east for nxt month I said verbatim" I\'m going to see the best damn band on the planet". A couple of days later the same friend out of the blue said" I can\'t believe you said that about Psychedelic Breakfast". I could only shrug and smile.
The point of that was my friend goes to festies all the time and is into a bunch of bands. For him to still be thinking of The Breakfast as PB is not good. It is something I find alot. Many people out here have NO IDEA how far the band has come since the last time they owned faces out here or even that they changed names.
So when I realize how much promise this year held and how in my opinion so little was accomplished, I got upset. Where am I going to go to voice this? Well to .info where MAYBE someone will understand. I mean where else can a Bfast fan go?
I know alot of folk on here a very protective of The Bfast as they are friends with them. Being in the middle of the storm they get constant doses of The Bfast and Solo Projects. Merely commenting that the band needs to tour elicits little response now. Even the fact that a prime gig was turned down is practically ignored by these fans as all is calm in the eye of a storm.
I made the mistake of comparing another band close to The Bfast\'s level of touring to drive home a point that I thought many were blase\' about.
MY BAD.
Won\'t happen again. Maybe
So I\'ll see all you 10 days. We can discuss ANY of this face to face if ya want.
Peace

Much appreciation for what you do.
And, yes, I still believe 2006 will be the best year for the band. They have a super soundman and a great lightman. The six of them put on a great show. The band and management need to do whatever they can do to put the name on a few more peoples tongues. I\'m sure they will.

Yeah I was going to add that they added a lighting show to the band but did not see that as an accomplishment but more of them finally filling a need.
waits for the merge mutherfucker.....
I can\'t believe nobody\'s busted this out yet, cause man does this thread deserve it:

TLG Breakfast TLG Breakfast blah blah blah. The response level is ironic given that about 3 people on this board would care if TLG played their last show today.
As a matter of fact when asked why I was flying back east for nxt month I said verbatim" I\'m going to see the best damn band on the planet ...SCC."
fixed
So I\'ll see all you 10 days. We can discuss ANY of this face to face if ya want.

reminds me of that Johnny Cash photo where he\'s flippin the bird, great shot!
wasn\'t new monsoon one of the bands that pb beat out for new groove of the year? am i mistaken about that?
i don\'t have time to read the rest of this thread right now, so i don\'t know if your question was answered. but just to respond, new monsoon was beat out by the duo this past year for new groove. bfast won the year before. (if i remember correctly....)
