I think that the opening/co-headling idea is the best idea I have heard. If you think about it, on a larger scale bands like Dave Mathews Band and Blues Traveler used to open for Phish in the early 90\'s. There is no better way to attract new fans than to find new fans by playing gigs with other bands within the jam band genre.

plus a bill with 2 or 3 good bands sounds a lot more attractive to promoters at good clubs than just the breakfast plus a local opener.

eventhough i don\'t like raq, i\'d be all for it if it puts more heads in the crowd and gets \'em in bigger venues. breakfast/raq, breakfast/brothers past, breakfast/perpetual groove, all of which would work and get new and different people in the crowd. it could also get them to bigger toad\'s sized venues that aren\'t in CT, places like the Paradise in Boston, the Higher Ground in Burlington(the main room) this is the kinda **** the breakfast needs to work on for upcoming tours. find a band of equal stature and do a tour w/ rotating headliner spots, 1 band 1 night, the next band the next. WORK IT!

The idea is good in theory but remember when they toured with Seth Yac and did alternating sets? Nobody else remembers either becuase Seth Yac did\'nt bring any fans. They need to tour out west w/ a western band and down south w/ a southern band. If they tour with another NE band it might not do any good. And me! is right:touring w/ p-groove is a shitty idea because it sucks to have to see an inferior band go on for 2 hours after the Breakfast gets to play 45 minutes. No way would I get on a plane to see that.

But back to the topic of Epcot center, the boat ride that goes through the mexican restaurant is a perfect place to smoke weed!

Yeah like RAQ is out in the chicago area right now and are touring with family groove company, who from what I know have a large following out in chicago.

As far as thebreakfast getting together with other jambands I think it is defnitely the best idea that has been thrown around hte board lately, but I could suggest people go to the thread titled "Why other bands fear the Breakfast," because that is why I think some bands may be less willing to tour with the breakfast, but that is just pure speculation on my part.

As far as I am concerned The Breakfast should be joining other bands, who have already established a prescence in the regions they are playing, especially on this tour given they are promoting a new album. I mean when Real Radio came out they did the same thing and no matter what people think of Real Radio it was a solid album that showcased the bands diverse talents and writing abilities, yet the band still seem to be struggling somewhat. With Moxie Epoxy being a much harder album and in my opinion a better reflection of the band they should be selling out this places. The album shows a lot of maturity and progression.

RAQ has been getting alot of play on SIRIUS lately, I am still waiting to catch that first Moxie Epoxy track, I requested they play Psygn today but haven\'t heard it yet.

Raq and the Breakfast are WAY too close to the same sound, that would get BORING! PGroove is BLOWING up right now and has a much bigger following than the Breakfast and Raq...it would be a great idea to do that again.

They should try to get a tour opening for UM or Mule...or maybe get Crescendo(WORTHLESS) to get them on a larger tour...I am guessing it isn\'t going to happen.

Again this board BLOWS my **** MIND!!! Here is the downfall of this band\'s following!!!

Sorry Rujah:

but I could suggest people go to the thread titled "Why other bands fear the Breakfast," because that is why I think some bands may be less willing to tour with the breakfast, but that is just pure speculation on my part.

That is the single most ignorant thread EVER on this board! No one cares about this band outside of the very small group of fans they have...bands like PGroove, UM, moe. Biscuits, etc, do not put them on the bill bc they do not DRAW!!! PERIOD!! I love the band and have seen them plenty but to say that other bands(that they are friends with!!!) are afraid of what they do-so they won\'t put them on the bill!!! Seriously...you people have to get off their jock and get realistic!!! Try to help the band and not put down other music...this board makes me sick!

well walsh i think you\'re talking about what\'s wrong with music in general these days not just the breakfast\'s situation. it\'s all about draw draw draw. when i was younger, bands took other bands on tour because they thought they were good and could benefit from the bigger shows and it created a large, rich scene in which there were tons of really good shows to go to all the time. i miss that.
