I was thinking earlier today; I wonder how most people were introduced to The Breakfast.

I was talking to a kid in fall of 2001 about how the grateful dead were my favourite band and he recomended that I check out a local band called "Psychedellic Breakfast"

I went onto MP3.com and downloaded what I think was Esther\'s Etchings and LDZ.

I\'ve been hooked since.

What\'s weird is that the kid who recomended them hates them. He\'s a serious industrial/electronic head so I have no idea where he got a reference.

What about y\'all?

[Oh yeah, if this thread already exists, kill this one and let me know the right one to post this in]

I saw them at NY harvest festivals way back in the day but didn\'t take much notice. An ex-girlfriend dragged me to the webster for the FFO in 2003  where I really got into them for the first time. A few months later I saw them at the electric company which kept the ball rolling.  Then they played oneonta a few after that and from then on I was hooked.

when i was a senior in high school, there was this dude (Blackieshamps on .info) who was constantly talking about going out to a PB show later that night, or how great last night\'s PB show was, etc.  eventually i asked him what the deal was with these guys since he seemed pretty stoked about listening to them.  he asked me if i liked the song you enjoy myself.  i said yes.  he played me the 3.30.01 yem, then buquebus from the same show.  i was sold.

just happened to go to the barn and they were playing, thought they were decent, saw i couple more there.  Then went to the webster (mainly for raq who was opening) and got into it, then went to the webster (not sure the date, it was timmy\'s b-day) and they played a killer puppetry>doughboy and I\'ve been hooked ever since.

i was running a weekly live music night at broadway joes in buffalo in 2004-2005 school year.  my friend who had seen them once at valantines in albany said we should go check them out.  i had never heard a single song by them.  there were maybe 40 people at the show tops, it was on 5-5-05.  fuckin blew me away and everyone else there.

me!

Jordan called me told me he quit shakedown and I needed to see his new thing and would I help them get a few gigs. They were playing at the Brickhouse. No words to the songs.. or not many. Tim and Adrian blew my mind. I looked at Jess who I had just started dating and said... I think I need to try and help these guys out. They give me the shivers in a very good way!

i went with some high school friends to toad\'s place on 5/4/01 (night of the senior prom...super cool, i know) to see a band i\'d never heard of...turns out they played with a guy i\'d never heard of on a song i\'d never heard of

Buquebus > Rufus* > Beef Barley > You Enjoy Myself** > Kote

** with Tom Marshall on vocals (for \'boy/man/god/****\')

Well I was at the Jammy\'s havin a real good time and some band won the new groove jammy so I thought I should check \'em out.  Got a few shows off of archive and thought it was solid.  Went to college in Pennsyltucky while my best buddy Ben from highschool went to college in CT.  when I came home and met up with him he was like "DUDE THE BREAKFAST" and I was all like "word?" Went and saw them at Stone Church soon after that, sometime in the spring I believe.  Hooked since then
