obviously,you know absolutely nothing about that.
is that why your here posting on the board and gavin is in the van?
Some of us manage to break the code though, the band included. Others like Mr. Pecoraro however, do not. :duck: :lol: I mean, the orange vest guy, gotta go
as far as the PA issue. i would think when booking a venue, you would see what PA they run and make sure it will be enough to power a band before swending them all the way out there....
From the band: there was no sound system, no lights, no stage, smaller and would be similar if not worse than having to play back at Rudys. It is nice to feel good and leave a show with some confidence and energy for the next one and makes traveling in a van a lot more enjoyable. doozies kill the mood of the tour and would have been a huge frustration factor. I guess they went and actually practiced/ went over some new songs they want to play in the next few shows and made a productive night out of it. good for them.

Who are you, the new publicist?
Fred, don\'t. He has a right to be pissed, whether he\'s overreacting or not. Let him blow off some steam. At least people care enough about hearing the Breakfast to get that upset over their not playing.
Bad form. Clearly. I can see where they\'re coming from, but ya know what, suck it up. Some days it\'s freezing cold out and pouring rain but I don\'t cancel my lessons because it will set a bad/frustrating mood for my week. This is their JOB, it is WORK, and work is not always fun, and not always rewarding. Clearly there were many people who were pissed and the last thing they need is this negative publicity. I have encountered people before who have asked me, "Don\'t you think the guys are kind of stuck up primadonnas?" and I have vehemently defended them. This move I cannot and will not defend. I hope they shift their thought process a bit as the tour continues, because there will doubtless be other unsavory venues or weak draws, and they can\'t just bail because of it.
Also, I am incredulous to find that they may not have even TOLD the bar owner (or whomever should have been notified) that they were cancelling. I really hope that that is not the case because if so, well... it\'s childish, unprofessional, and SELFISH, egocentirc... self-centered.... ugh. I really hope there is another side of this that I am not hearing. It sure as hell doesn\'t sound like the group of guys that I know and love.
