Kraak & Smaak are awesome; one of the best live acts I\'ve seen in the past few years. Too bad they hardly ever get the full band over here (from Holland). Don\'t miss them next time they are around.

Madison House is the way to go fo\' sho\'

Hard to say Crescendo is on top of the game when Ron Spears is still listed on the Breakfast roster.

I\'ve definitely talked smack on ShadRaq a good number of times, but I have always had fun at their shows, and they definitely had good relations with the breakfast- it will be sad to see them go, but as Jimmy Cobberstein said- now Raq kids will have that much more time to hit up breakfast tour....

Truth. BFast did just get a new agent (still with Crescendo) according to .org.

Madison House is a little guy killer. The Breakfast are better off without them. In house management is the way to go. Problem is finding the right people.

How are they a little guy killer? Wouldn\'t you think they would be a little guy HELPER? RAQ was just starting to become pretty big, Madison House must have done something right.

Raq played in the city the same night as the last Breakfast show at Mercury Lounge, and had about ten times the crowd....

heard about this a while ago, shame if it does happen, I heart raq. Wish the last gig booked as of now wasn\'t a hike, and the weekend after moe.down.

Breakfast draws equal crown in Northampton (even though they play a smaller venue)

Anyway I can\'t say I will miss RAQs music ...
if anyone really cared they could find my thread ranting and raving for a $15 refund after the last RAQ show I saw..

My thoughts exactly. I already miss raq...

no more donkey show? damn...
I couldnt care less.

I feel bad for their fans though, it sucks to loose a band you love.

Stoops moved to NC. This is putting a hurt on the band and he actually missed the last gig. It was played as a trio (guitar, bass, and drums).

Stoops\' second child was just born a few months ago and he has been spending as much time at home and NOT on the road as possible.

So he\'s ready to run off with Bfast now?

There are ways to make it work.
