/\\/\\/\\ Festivals and opening slots for legit draws. The level of awareness is still ridiculously low.

Jeez I\'m feeling depressed.

Dying out here in the Midwest, last Breakfast I had after seeing the Chicago show in September (and needed to see more) was in October, when I was coerced to come to New Haven for the Freakout (thanks to Gencs and Kate). And well worth it, may I add. :awwyeah: Hopefully something is in the works. Block Island, hmmmm......

Best of all: The Breakfast is still cheaper than a movie on most nights.

what\'s with the Atlanta people just now coming out of the woodwork? Last time the Breakfast did ATL there were 5 people there and 4 came with me. Where were you guys for that show? How can you clamor for a GA show when I know as a fact that nobody on this board was at the last ATL show, cause I knew all 5 people there? The Breakfast may never go south of VA again the way things are looking. And who is this guy who claims he can get 270 people to come to any show with the snap of his fingers? I guarantee that guy is bullshitting. Nobody can snap his fingers and get 200+ people to come to any show in any city.

I like my dream world, thank you.
I never meant to imply that it would not take a ton of work. I meant to communicate that I would be willing to do said work. I play 5-9 acoustic cover gigs a week and I don\'t draw very well at most of them. Some nights I draw less than a handful. Unfortunately, I have to flood the market because I have a family to support by playing cover music. On the occasion that I work to promote an important gig, such as a full band show, I do draw the masses. I see a ton of people every week at my shows, and I typically say hello to most of them when passing out my request lists. On said request list, I write about the show all over it. I go through 120-250 setlists each week. With just a little promo time, I can get a lot of people interested. And yes, we did have 270 paid guests @ $10 on a Thursday.
Origen - come see my band play on Friday, May 11th @ Andrews Upstairs - I\'ll bet you $100 we break 400 people.
Hope you New Englanders are keeping warm up there...You guys should move to Atlanta.

has the breakfast ever played on Cape Cod before? Not sure if it could happen or not, but playing tourist places might help them out a bit. There is a bar that is packed every night called "The Beachcomber" in Welfleet. It\'s a awesome bar right on the beach in the middle of nowhere, I used to see Addison Groove play there to a packed house every time. Also highly concentrated tourist places might work

"I hope to hear a lot more festival announcements." +1
Gathering of the Vibes and All Good are my hopes. Moe.down and Camp Bisco wouldn\'t hurt either.

They should hit up ATL, I\'ve met a few heads from down there and have turned them onto the breakfast in the past year or so (don\'t know when the last time the band hit ATL up was). They should also hit up Ashville NC, cause I know there are heads there too.

Didn\'t they just get new management too? Hopefully that\'ll help \'em out with the whole tour announcement thing.

I thought they played a show out on the Cape many years ago, though my search of the setlist archives is turning up zero results.

How about INTERnational tours??

I second that.

how about Breakfast on the Moon!

Think about it, they could rock the whole planet at once, in zero gravity!

weekapaug19 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 14, 2007, 11:44:49 am »

does anybody know of a way to get the breakfast on the moe.down lineup again? Do they have anyplace for fans to submit requests for bands? I know they don\'t like to do the same band over and over, but it\'s been a couple years and now it\'s a 3 piece band, so maybe they would give them to sat. night beer tent slot again, which was awesome last time
