ENTER NEW RUMORS - re: The Breakfast as a 5 piece... :chin:
As for treatment of newbies... I was welcomed with open arms! At my second show (UAC1), wah pulled me around for like 30 minutes introducing me to people that were "dying to meet" me. I encountered no bashing as a newb. Granted, I entered the scene with 2 years of DLing shows under my belt, so I was already familiar with the material (hell, I could\'ve sat in the first time I saw them). Eh. just my experience.
^seriously. i won\'t play guitar in the breakfast unless tim\'s doing the same. them\'s my demands.
Matt is missing tour dates for he is doing a movie soundtrack
That is awesome. Congrats to Matt for expanding his endeavors. I really enjoyed the sound he brought to the band, especially during acoustic shows. Best of luck in the future.
^seriously. i won\'t play guitar in the breakfast unless tim\'s playing lead cowbell. them\'s my demands.

i knew this was coming, especially since when i put on my proposed buffalo setlist IAQs, they said "we dont play that anymore" without any reason.
Matt was a tremendous guy, and i had a lot of good times with him. I agree that his musical styles didnt really fit who the breakfast are/were though. Matty, all the luck in the world, do it big man, you were part of the breakfast when some of the greatest jams ever were created, lots of props.
in terms of todd stoops, this band REALLY needs to get him as a permanent member, REALLY. He would be the last missing link to a possiblity of them gettin big, for a few main reasons...One, is HE CAN SING REALLY WELL. in fact, i think he would have the best voice in the band if he hopped on board. also, his keys/organ/synth work on an IMPROV level are head and shoulders above matts. todd really plays aggressively, and kinda has that medeski touch. Matt is much more of a composed guy, and i totally respect that.
I dont know what needs to be done to get todd as a permanent member, but GET IT DONE, the band will get huge if this happens, period.
dsnumbers over and out
lol, at least todd will already know over half the bfast\'s covers...
as far as situations that don\'t work go, this situation worked out pretty well. there\'s something to be said for a nice, clean, simple break
good luck matto
