at Toad\'s place, April 13th, that is unless they\'re still on the road. If not, booking should get on this stat!!!

Shaking no as in "bad idea", or no as in "damn shame they aren\'t"?

I saw the Breakfast open for UM down south in \'04 I think. They put on a great show together. But I gotta agree with Todd, purely because especially at Toad\'s they shouldn\'t be opening for anyone.

UM should be opening for them

There\'s that ego again. This is about connecting with probably the top band in the jamband touring circuit right now. It\'s about helping out a band outside of their primary market with hopes that maybe UM will reciprocate. It\'s about networking. It\'s about band members being invited to jam onstage.

THIS is HOW the band is going to grow!!!

Uh when The Breakfast can sell out Toad\'s or even come close in consecutive gigs there maybe your statement could be taken a bit more seriously.

Joe you are correct. It would be very good for the guys if they could ever open for UM.

I say they stick to playing doozies at hole in the wall bars in towns with no scene

Someone jaming onstage is one thing completely, but I don\'t think they need to be opening for nearly anyone in their hometown. especially when they are playing their own headling show not long after that. But as Todd said it\'s pointless cause they\'re gonna be on the road anyway.

we\'re opening for sim redmond and u-melt who needs UM

Would UM sell out Toads? My guess is probably. Would a lot of UM fans that haven\'t listened to the breakfast get totally turned on to them if they heard them live rockin socks in their hometown? probably. I think the Breakfast would appeal to a lot Umphrees fans and a hometown show means the band would be on point.

I would say this would be a good call

how the **** do people from New Haven area like UM and not know about the breakfast by now? THat doesn\'t really seem possible to me.

This is the biggest no brainer ever!!!

Mandler,you aren\'t getting the picture. The Breakfast don\'t pack Toad\'s like they used to. They need all the help they can get. As Sifl said, there will be plenty of local UM fans who haven\'t heard the Breakfast at the show. The band opens, shreds and boom, next Toad\'s show the place is packed....
