Hope so!

I think in retrospect there was a lot more going on. I think there was a lot of tension in the band that could not be settled and Stoops\' move was a symptom of that, not a cause. We\'ll see. God I am exited....
Maybe this means we will see Stoops for a while in 2009 as well, as long as RAQ doesn\'t book dates anytime soon.

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.

no more donkey show? damn...
I couldnt care less.
I feel bad for their fans though, it sucks to loose a band you love.

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.
My thoughts exactly. I already miss raq...
-
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..

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....
so what is that, like 4 more people?
Raq drew in a pretty good crowd in Colorado... they def have a distinct following
Raq played in the city the same night as the last Breakfast show at Mercury Lounge, and had about ten times the crowd....

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.

Hard to say Crescendo is on top of the game when Ron Spears is still listed on the Breakfast roster.
Truth. BFast did just get a new agent (still with Crescendo) according to .org.

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....

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\'

damn...this is definitely one of the sadest and hardest goodbyes ever....right up there with the final episode of "saved by the bell - the college years"

get her done na kiid

sounds like the perfect time to call up their agency
Do the Bfast have an electronic press kit? because according to this (http://madisonhouseinc.com/contact.htm), madison house only accepts EPKs. I\'d send the email to them but it\'s not really my call, if i had permission I\'d do it in a heartbeat.

kind of sux if it happens. they are a quality band and they are also really good guys! when a good band goes down it impacts the whole scene.
bfast and raq have always been pretty tight. I\'m sure both bands would be into touring together if the economics worked.
If it is true.. sounds like the perfect time to call up their agency and see if they are looking for another great up and coming band!!
-
on a separate note, i\'ve always wondered why the breakfast and raq seem to cover so many of the same songs (cult of personality, hot for teacher/van halen tunes, etc...).
It\'s those damn italian guitarists...
-
that\'s a damn shame... hate to see any band that seems to finally be making a mark call it quits... this past year they were really getting out there, making their name known and putting on some damn fine shows... maybe raq can go ahead and book the gigs (especially the fests) and then just have the breakfast show up as replacements??...

I would really hate to see them call it quits.
Always had good times a raq shows.
I always dug the banter between the bfast and raq.

I bet Leith reeeeeally wants to post on this one....:biggrin:
-
might be a good opportunity to target raq fans when promoting the breakfast, seeing as they\'ll have some spare show-goin time.
:that:
Jim, I\'ve got to agree with that. Good call.

Well there it is.
I think this hurts the Breakfast, since they have no more potential to do a tour with RAQ, which in my opinion would be the thing to do. Of course they probably wouldn\'t do it anyway so f*ck it.
-
see posts above. this is why I didn\'t bring it up earlier.
So here it is.
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).
All four members have gotten married recently. 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.
The rumor on the Raq board is that Stukey (drummer) is tired of the road and does not want to tour after this summer.
Management is a mess (but who\'s isn\'t right?). The band currently has two more festi appearances scheduled for the summer and no booked fall or winter dates. Raq has always had fall dates up by now.
so the rumors are what they are. The band is refusing to make a statement so we don\'t know much. I am no authority but I am a little bit in the know, I mod on the fan board, and archive for the band, and I run the guest list/tapers tickets. I have been trying desperately to get a statement from the band to no avail.

Heard a rumor.... thought I\'d exploit it.
