Author Topic: General - Breakfast Question (Read 9560 times)

Yoda · « **on:** July 16, 2007, 12:02:57 pm »

I\'m not sure if this has come up in a previous thread, but I thought that I\'d pose the question. Why is it that there are close to a dozen Side Project shows in the month of July and only a handfull of Breakfast shows in that same time period? Shouldn\'t the effort be on the band at this time of year. The summer is halfway over and so are the festivals that go along with it. If this is a general taking a break from the road, then, in my opinion, this is not the best time for it. If it\'s a management issue, then axe the current management and take care of it in-house until they can find a suitable replacement. If it\'s a personel issue, make the necessary moves. As I\'ve said before, I\'m not one to talk about going to shows since it\'s been 4 years since my last show, but I do think the band is talented and would like to see them succeed. I would hate to see them end up like Max Creek playing the same dumpy clubs 10 years from now.

Freddie - I deserve your comment above. But then again, I\'m also in a different place in my life than when I was living in New Haven. But, I don\'t really need to substantiate myself further so, I\'ll leave it at that. I am a fan of the music whether that means I go to all the shows or none.

Per doctors advise, the band is taking it easy this summer while Timmy takes his med\'s to prepare for his gender reassignment surgery.

Yoda when a band hires a Manager that happens to BE in another band can you expect anything more?
As for the Max Creek argument well they kind of already are and it sux for fans of the band that live far away and would actually go to the shows if the band bothered to tour more.

If I was the band and paying his salary, then I would expect and insist that he do his job. I\'m sure that I\'ll be told by some people to mind my own business, but when money is involved, you always have to make sure that you\'re getting what you pay for. That being said, I don\'t know what their arrangement is. I personally think that they have a lot of potential for success, it just sounds to me like their manager is not helping to grow their success.

The band cares more about "other things in life" besides the band. The fire isn\'t there, and at this point it seems they\'re waiting for lightning to strike them rich and successful. I just rocked the **** out to "Intension, TLATG>OE" in my livingroom. Doing so I was once again reminded of tB\'s ability to tap into my dopamine receptors, leaving me speechless and ecstatic. I wish for the love of God that they would take their magic seriously and do something with it. Drop the ego\'s, get in the van and work your asses off. Take some heat, deal with bullshit, kiss ass, and leave this barren local music market for greener pastures.

I will always love this band for their abilities to make me "feel". I only hope the towel isn\'t fully thrown in yet. If it is, well, I\'m grateful for everything they\'ve given us, and hope their work attracts more appreciators as the years go by (which I\'m sure they will!!).

sad, true.

I hope that the events that are coming in the future change this state but at this moment, it is what it is.

I think that this thread might be a bad idea. I just wanted to find out what the deal was, but all I did was create a slew of negative energy by fans towards the state of the band. This thread should be closed.

This made me think (I should excuse myself though since Im already drinking wine and more than likely dont know what I am talking about)However....Side Projects in my opinion can give the band a huge following!
if you know youve seen an amazing drummer or guitar player or base player, keyboard player,whatever. and you know they play in a band.. having already seen them kicking ass playing their instrument,youd be more inclined to see the band they play in.Instead of just going to see a random band, youve never heard of I think side projects can get people into The Breakfast that normally would never even know about them........but like I said Im posting away and will soon delete this cus I havent the slightest idea what Im rambling about:)
