I hope that whatever happens they will indeed own face.
-
What makes you think they won\'t own face anyway? :)
-
I am as tuned out as most of all of you how the Breakfast Business side is handled. That is for the other people to handle. I hope that whatever happens they will indeed own face.
-
would they have a slot available to get them on a different stage on Saturday? Something that they should consider.
-
I look at it this way. If it is roughly 100 people who have never heard them before and they are all impressed, then the entire festival will know about the Breakfast.
-
I don\'t see it happening.
btw- 100 comfortable= 400 hopefully stuffed in there! ;)
-
That is the exact stage that they will be playing. I would be more concerned about the sound quality though than how much room there is there. It is kind of a 2 part bar/room. Both rooms are open to the stage area. I would say there is about 50\' between the stage and SB. It could probably hold 100 comfortably. I\'m sure it will be crazy in there though. First night of 10klf has been crazy the last 2 years. All I can say is I\'m glad I dont have to sit through a late night Particle show friday night. If they end up iat the Field stage at 12:30 I would say that STS9 will lose most of their crowd to TB. I guess we\'ll see what happens.
I haent received a response from 10klf yet about them getting the Field stage. Maybe Tim will contact them to see if they can get an earlier time. Or maybe they are already in contact with Tim about the change;).
-
Is this the room they will be playing in?

Stage doesn\'t look too small. About how many heads fit in there? IMO, if the place holds a bunch of heads, this is a decent spot for them. They do well with late night sets, as long as they DO start at the scheduled time. There are no other bands playing the same time slot. First night of the festival...people will be down to rage!!! Especially after falling asleep at STS9!! If they were pulling large numbers at venues across the nation, I\'m sure they would have gotten an earlier, outside slot. At least they are there representing!!!
Just my two Lincolns worth.
-
BK- You are definitely on the right track. Good work there.
I second that motion of emailing 10k lakes and trying to get a better spot. It\'s not like they know us. At least it makes it sound like there is an overwhelming interest in the band.
-
I just got a reply from bands@10klf.com. Here is what they had to say...
There are local ordinances about noise after 2:00am ? so we are forced to go inside. We also extended the band set times from last year ? so there are fewer Barn and Field Stage slots. Thanks for the input and have a great day.
Here was my reply...
Ok, at least tell me that you have done something to improve the sound quality in the Saloon. Also, have you taken into consideration that TB wont even fit on the tiny stage in the Saloon? Why not move them back to 12-1:30 on the field stage?
Lets hope they can move them back in order to get them on a better stage. STS9 is playing on the Barn stage at 12-1:30 and the 2 stages face away from each other so the only time you can hear the other stage is when the band you are watching ends a song. I think you should all email bands@10klf.com with this suggestion of simply moving TB back to 12-1:30 or 2.
-
I\'m all for getting the band the best stage/room available at the festival, but do you really believe the promoters/organizers are flexible enough to entertain suggestions? If the fest. was diligent enough to send a response email to Bryank, I\'ll bet they will at least be willing to address the reported sound difficulties of the Saloon.
-
I emailed everyone on the contact page....hopefully someone can get the stage changed....it will be for the best.
Steffmo may be a good contact person as well.
For sure, he might be the right person to contact.

hopefully, they can make the adjustment. I believe that the band members are acting as there own managers right now, I believe someone is helping them out but I am not sure. So, they have a lot of tough work which they have to do on their own.
I will get back to you about the flyers for 10k Lakes.

Go for it. If you want to talk to someone about where the band is playing for that festival, I suggest emailing Ron or Tim. Go to this link, Contact Page (http://www.thebreakfast.net/contact.php) .
I don\'t know if they have a say but, they would definitely appreciate the imput.

Spacey...I\'d be happy to help anyway that I can. I emailed bands@ and info@10lf.com before TB were set to play and told them that they should invite TB to play and I got an email a few days later stating "thank you for the suggestion. We\'ve been in contact with TB and it appears that they will be able to make it." I just emailed them again requesting a better stage. If they play in the Saloon the guys wont be happy. The room has wood paneling and they would be set up in the corner of the room...not nearly enough room for all of their gear. Drums and bass gear will take up the entire stage. Who is affiliated with TB that I can speak to about the stage they are playing? They should try to get them moved to The Field Stage as there would be plenty of room for everyone there and the sound owuld be 10x better.
About getting TB here in Aberdeen...probably wont happen even though I would like to get them here to play if possible. If they could make it here I would do my best to get them a place to play. I guess it all depends on what they usually ask for to be booked. We are just 75 straight west of I29 on US Highway 12.
I\'ve turned about 30 people onto TB since RR came out and 26 of them will be at the show. Aberdeen, SD represent!!
Wow, your marketing efforts are paying off!
I never thought I would say this, but The Breakfast may now be able to pull off a show in Aberdeen, SD that wouldn\'t be a doozy. Make all of the 30 people bring 3 friends to the local buffalo pasture and you\'ve got a raging show!
Maybe you can book the band right before/after 10KLF if you aren\'t too far away from Minn?
I\'ve never seen TB before but by what I\'ve read they arent strangers to playing to less than 50 people. I could probably set something up in a pasture that would be just as much fun as any bar in the US.
-
I voted moe down
10 k lakes may or may not have a larger turnout.
However, as stated, moe down will be full of **** fans. Word will spread quickly, the crowd will be way more rocking and into it and the show will therefore almost deffinitly be better.
Also most new fans the show turns on will be from the north east so it will be easier for them to catch shows in the future than folks from the mid west. thus it will have a bigger impact in the long run
-
I have seen Dobson do some amazing things with sound....
YES, I CAN SEE SOUND.
It\'s called Synethesia yo.

I think 10klf is going to be huge... they have a great time slot (even though it sounds like not a great stage), and they will be the only band playing at that time. It seems like most people who go to these things are ready to party all night on the first night...
-
bryank,
would you be interested in passing out settime flyers and breakfast material at 10k festival? I know the band will greatly appreciate it as this will be one great festival. PM me and I will get stuff settled away, if you are interested.
-
definitely 10KL..the festival will be a good opportunity to get some exposure in the midwest
Yeah, and funny that I can\'t go. BOOOO. Can\'t take off work and it\'s too expensive....I\'m a po\' college student.
-
i think he should plan on making it
I think so too....
but who knows...
all i know is that i will not be attending the 10,000 Lake Festival.....
-
i think he should plan on making it
-
Good point and I dont think Dobson is going to the festival with them....well the last i heard was that he wasnt going.....
-
the last 2 years they had 1 guy running sound in the saloon for almost all of the bands that I saw there....i dont think the guy had a clue as to what sounded good and what didnt. I wanted to go back and ask him what he thought he was doing.

Also, the Saloon stage is indoors and the sound is terrible. The high end will almost kill you in that room. The sound simply bounces around and drives you right out of the building.

I voted 10klf .....I will be in attendance but now that the set times have been announced I would have to second guess my vote. Also, the Saloon stage is indoors and the sound is terrible. The high end will almost kill you in that room. The sound simply bounces around and drives you right out of the building. Also, playing at 1:30am on Friday night may not be bad as it will be the first night that everyone is wandering around with a head full of who knows what (you guys should dress up in demon costumes or something to scare the **** out of these kids). I was hoping that you\'d get the Field or Barn stage. They actually have a decent sound system at both of those stages unlike the saloon. All they had the last 2 years for sound there were a mackie powered sub and a top on each side of the stage. No need to be mic anything. I hope they decide to do something different with the sound in there this year. The bonus is that there is a bar in the room.
There are no tents at 10lf....the saloon is indoors with seating outside.
-
I believe it was a tent. Last time I discussed this matter with the power that be, he didn\'t know yet. Told me that when he finds out, he would pass on the information.
-
What type of stage or tent will be afforded to the Breakfast at 10,000 Lakes? I think all the fans that are planning on attending will have a huge impact on the turnout given the hype and flyer factors.
-
Thanks for the info on moe.down. It seems like, if they show up and play then everything will work out fine. I hope it does.
-
definitely 10KL..the festival will be a good opportunity to get some exposure in the midwest
-
i went with 10k lakes, though i think MD could be equally huge..
-
10K is probably gonna give them more exposure but the response they will recieve @ moe.down will probably shock anyone not familiar w/ Bfast fans. I know I for one plan on screaming the loudest I ever have for a band to RIP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
chances are they\'ll be playing pre-moe. Saturday night, and during moe.\'s setbreak that night too. Honestly, thats one of the best slots of the weekend. Saturday night is when all the freaks are at their highest point. and they\'ll be playing between the two biggest draws/ which will probably be MMW and moe. all they gotta do is come out swinging and the beertent will be on fire in no time. If they some of the members of moe. catch their set and like what they see that also gives the possibility of moe. doing a full band segue w/ the breakfast during their set. they\'ve done it before w/ Galactic, Raq, Trainwreck, the Biscuits, JFJO, Umphrees, Particle, Mule, and others so I wouldn\'t count that out just yet.
I was playing the March Call and Porter\'s show for the freaks late night in Portland this weekend, and a lot of cats dug it. Even got a few interested in hitting up some Timmy Solo shows because I brought the Martini\'s show too. If you play it, they will come.
-
spacey- most bands at moe.down if they are lucky are given a couple 45 min time slots to perform. I was talking to Adam from PGroove last year after a Harper\'s Ferry gig that was the monday following md5. He was stoked because they got to play four different times throughout the weekend.
As for the boys, I am told they will either be in the Beer Tent ( which is always packed) or on the main stage, playing in between moe. sets.
mind you my sources aren\'t confirmable- as they are all a culmination of somewhat drunken conversations over the past few weeks..
tough question in regards to festies.. kind of torn between 10klks and md6.. I can see the NuGroove fest ending up with a lot of collaborations, and we always seem to do well in Upstate NY so I guess that isn\'t very much of an impact- oh well lineup looks badass and Echo Lake, well is Echo Lake
-
That can make a huge difference if there is a big turnout of Breakfast die hards at moe.down. The word will spread quicker. Speaking of moe.down, does anyone have information on this festival? Such as, where they will be playing, when they will be playing, how it is, stuff like that?
-
I have to go with 10,000 Lakes....
I agree with you based on the shear exposure possible. Also, the names that are playing attract a lot of fans. However, moe.down might be a good one because of the small concentration of people in one area.
True Spacey...Not to mention that there will probably be way more Breakfast Die-Hards at the moe.down than out at 10,000 lakes...

Out of this summer\'s festivals that the Breakfast are playing which one do you think will have the biggest impact on the band. Which festival will the band benefit more from playing?
