I think that Score would be a perfect fit, since there are horns on the studio version. The sit in with Ross from the Macpodz at the recent Stella Blues show was O.K., but I think Rob could rip it up with a little rehearsal time.

Kung Fu should write more of their own tunes. The more original material they have, the more interesting their shows will become.

they\'ve done tricky ways, too, if i recall correctly. i\'d love more breakfast in fu, definitely. though i agree only certain tunes should be incorporated.

score, spunk & cmss would be my top 3 picks... maybe wtf, might sound pretty cool with somerville...

Bad idea. It\'s a new band, new brand. You write new material and sell the new brand. Kung Fu needs to be positioned as Kung Fu and not as some sort of Breakfast/RAQ redux with a bunch of covers and a few of their own songs. The more they play Breakfast tunes the further they get from the position they need to be in. Just because you have some people who played in other bands does not make it a good idea to play material from your old bands. The Foo Fighters do not rotate Nirvana songs. Oysterhead did not rotate Phish or Police songs. Pearl Jam does not feature Soundgarden songs. Play your own songs. That\'s the entire point. You know who\'s psyched to hear Kung Fu play Breakfast songs? Maybe 30 or 40 Breakfast fans who will go see Kung Fu anyways and that\'s it. If Kung Fu want to write songs that are similar to Score or CMSS, fine. But don\'t go trotting out tired 10-year-old Breakfast songs as if to say that you can\'t come up with anything new. The entire point of Kung Fu is a fresh start.

I was thinking it takes The Breakfast to play Breakfast songs properly. Makes sense, right?

I see nothing to lose if they did want to take a sick Breakfast song and incorporate it into their lineup. Kung Fu is 2 years young and could benefit from additional coverage in their songlist. I don\'t think the point of playing Breakfast tunes is to draw in Breakfast fans. Great tunes are great tunes and they should play whatever they think is worth adding to the rotation; original, Breakfast cover or other cover.
