Petition to bring back \'Psychedelic\'
how about a psychedelic breakfast reunion show. book it at toads along with some promo and the fans vote on the setlist.
The name change has some historic relevance IMHO.
See it wasn\'t that long ago that are wonderfully esteemed congresscritters decided to pass this little law called the RAVE ACT
This for a very very brief moment caused promoters some anxiety.
This was just about the same time / prior to the name change.
My understanding was that a few promoters "dissed" the name of the band and the kind of attention it supposedly attracted. There was some talk that it could perhaps hurt the bands potential and that is why the name change happened.
I have always felt that it was a bad idea but for the right reasons. I at one time considered myself a psycho-naut so being associated with these rapscallions never bothered me. But the band in a way was declaring itself publicly that they were one of us to. I think that is what disappointed the "originals" more than anything when the name changed.
It is always easier to reflect back and make a call about the situation. I always thought Psychedelic Breakfast was a ballsy name.

:awwyeah:
At this point I wonder if the guys would even consider it. It is easy to make the call so long after the fact, but I think I would\'ve stuck with the name. But, the Breakfast works for me!
I have completely forgotten they were once called psychedelic breakfast. They are the Breakfast now. Accept it and move on.
^^
I agree. Pointless to do otherwise. But Northampton is a strange market for this band. One where it seems they should be having more success because the music scene is so alive here and there\'s so many hippie-peoples. So when it comes to Northampton + Breakfast ....... "what the
****?!" is pretty much fair game discussion
lol agreed. how does this show sound tuna you get a chance to lisen yet
Sound isn\'t as crisp as I\'d hope... the balcony of the Iron Horse is a pretty bad spot to tape from. Sorry been tied up with
**** but I\'ll get that up as soon as I can. Takes a few hours without distraction to get done... something I haven\'t had the luxury of much lately.
... I always thought Psychedelic Breakfast was a ballsy name.
Akin to "The Disco Biscuits." They did not change their name to "The Biscuits;" and now they have an annual Red Rocks gig.... food for thought.
I hear "Psychedelic Breakfast" and think wild rock band... when I tell people I like "The Breakfast" they think I\'m talking about "The Breakfast Club" movie or flapjacks and bacon...
I recently had a conversation/disagreement with a band member who was trying to come up with a name for their band... I was stating that "newbies" will decide whether or not to go to a show based on the band name, if no other information is available instead of the quality of music bringing in the fans. In actuality, it\'s some mixture of name and reputation.
Anyways, I think bringing back "Psychedelic Breakfast" would be a good idea IF the band wants to return to that direction... which could, in my opinion, lead to greater success, and lots of hard work touring. As far as I know, the band has many other commitments (families, etc.) and closer shows might be the only feasible option for everyone involved at this point.
n e ways, I figured I\'d throw my opinion out there. I\'ll keep enjoying all the shows; regardless of the name, they still fuckin rock!:guitar:
and tuna, thanks for taping!
It\'s too late to go back at this point... It is what it is at this point...
i think they should switch
**** all up and change it to just The Psychedelic!
Psychedelic FU
make everyone wonder if its F. U. or just fu! :lol:
It\'s too late to go back at this point... It is what it is at this point...
Ultimately I agree. They are the Breakfast! Changing back, while cool, would be a step in the wrong direction. Continuity is needed. This line up is supa-strong and kicking out great stuff in their limited schedule. Keep it up and good things will come.
Fun to talk about, though.
Sorry lost the memory card.. will put this back on the list of things to do.. hopefully I didn\'t write over it..
