ser. how many LONG TERM lasting fans heard them first at umass back in the day? college students are still defining their musical tastes and are often close to making the long term decisions about what it is they listen to. fertile ground for bands.

i don\'t understand why they have given up on uconn. there is a "heady" bar here that other bands such as the indobox and otherwise have both played so it\'s not like it\'s too small or too shitty for the band. it would not be difficult at all to book a show.

Iron Horse is a pretty well respected and historical venue. Yes it has a bar. Not only was it filled but there were probably a couple or few dozen people downstairs trippin out and another couple dozen people outside dancing in the rain.

Ummm...which Iron Horse show were you at? 9/14/01??? The show on Friday was half full. 50%. 1/2. Could\'ve had another 150 people in there.

They\'re a bar band. They play Sully\'s, Mill Street Brews, Middle East Upstairs, and Daniel Street. And now they have a show at Tommy D\'s in Westfield, MA a townie bar in MA\'s #1 townie town. (Look at their "website" which is only a myspace page.) Bar band. It\'s okay.

I\'m in favor of more all ages shows, sure. It always sucked when I was under 21 and couldn\'t go.

I\'d hope that they are not winding down, but while there has been an influx of interest in more shows, the number of shows has dropped drastically:

Jan - 2 shows (6 shows from historical average)
Feb - 3 shows (9 shows from historical average)
Mar - 4 shows (14 shows from historical average)
Apr - 4 shows planned (13 shows from historical average)

I\'m no mathematician, but that\'s a 200% drop off in shows in my book...

Yup, no mathematician, let me help with that. If something drops 200%, it is exactly negative of what it previously was. There aren\'t many things that can do this, but say Tiger Woods shoots 3 over par one day and 3 under par the next. His par score would have dropped 200%.

If something drops 100%, it is at 0. If a stock is worth $15 today and is worth $0 a year from now, then it dropped 100% in that year. Actually, regardless of what the stock is worth, it is down 100% if and only if it reaches a value of $0.

If The Breakfast averages 42 shows Jan-Apr (x), then plays 13 shows Jan-Apr 2009 (y), then the change from the average is -29 shows, or -69%. ((x-y)/x)*100

That was my problem - I was getting the number way of this equation ((x-y)/y)*100... My bad.

It\'s anybody\'s bad who tries to make this thread about maths.

yea stonewall is where its at. but i am def not down for younger age shows. There were a bunch of highschoolers at the noho show and they acted like a bunch of **** retards that i wanted to punch: Throwing ****, asking for free weed hits, falling all over the place, throwing beverage at the band, etc. It is uneeded.

No new fans = more aging fans = smaller fanbase over time. You choose...

if anyone is still interested...here is the page that sidesteps the first password page and will allow you to buy tix

http://event.etix.com/ticket/online/frontDoor.jsp?performance_id=967446&cobrand=fenway&language=en&country=US

you still have to enter the FENPHISH password on the page you enter in your CC info.

NickNels I don\'t have CC in hand but when I get home in an hour.... so if I go through this and buy tix and type in FENPHISH its a done deal?? Or is this lottery?

sorry. I guess the password doesn\'t work on the second page. It gets you to the screen where you enter in the CC info, but it says the pass is invalid, but it might be worth a try

Good Luck
