Not sure why people are knocking Wormtown AGAIN!!!!!!
Mark and Gabriel have been nothing but supportive of the Breakfast for
**** years now. They invite the band to play at everyone of the festivals that they do. Perhaps if any of you
**** slackers ever went to StrangeCreek or Wormtown they might even get a better slot. The worms have given the breakfast headlining spots in 2003 at their festival How many festivals have done that ? (maybe 1 or 2 and that was like this year).
So I make apost about the band not playing the greatest set IMHO and it turns in to the festival is the problem etc etc.
This festival is one of the better festivals in the North east. There is never a search getting in, There is little to no wait to get in ever. You get to camp in the woods like real camping and not shoved together in an open field with no shade. They have music all day some bands start at 4AM in the cabins. Ticket prices at the highest were $70.00 name 1 festival where you get 3 days of music for that price ?
I have to say that I am getting tired of the folks on .info who always make excuses for the band. The crowd for the Breakfast at wormtown (a rinky dink festival as you are saying) was sad. This is in the heart of the bands area and they had a decent sized crowd. RAQ had way more people in front for them rocking out (1 band after the bfast). The crowd size wasn\'t even close. Hell on Sunday for Ryan Montbleau (who I love) they were the 2nd to last band and folks always have a mass exodus on sunday and they still had more people then the Breakfast. The band is either shy or just doesn\'t care. They used to go and mingle with the crowd they haven\'t doent that in years (first time we met Ron he was hangiong out reading by the soundboard). They sometimes do it at bar shows but they are usually never out fostering their own relationships with fans or trying to drum up support for it. I said this to Vallo on Sunday and he took the position that it is the bands job and they usually want to take off. But it is their job to foster support for THEIR BAND and they never do it. They leave it up to others to do. It seems that they are happy with the small tight circle that they have around them, unfortunately that small tight circle cannot fill venues from here to cali.
I love the Breakfast but they need a serious reality check me thinks and so do a lot of you
