BIOGRAPHY
THE BREAKFAST is ready to be served if your appetite calls for some of the finest progressive funk rock on the scene today! With the addition of Matt Oestreicher on keyboards THE BREAKFAST is looking to wake the world with its sound. Their latest album Moxie Epoxy released in November 2006 is a testament to the style and energy of these souls from New Haven, CT. Moxie Epoxy recorded in Wilmington, VT and at Horizon Studios in West Haven, CT features the brilliant musicianship and raw talent of guitarist Tim Palmieri, bassist Ron Spears, drummer Adrian Tramontano and former keyboard player Jordan Giangreco. This is THE BREAKFAST's second release for HMG Recordings and their fifth overall.
In 2003/2004 THE BREAKFAST accepted their 1st Jammy award for best emerging artist at The Madison Square Garden Theater aong with Phil Lesh, Umphrey's Mcgee, Dr John and other distinguished honorees. Since their Jammy win THE BREAKFAST have been traveling the country. Currently you can catch them on the road supporting their last release, Moxie Epoxy.
THE BREAKFAST's national tour and non-stop schedule have seen them support the likes of The Wailers, Moe, North Mississippi All-Stars, Gomez, and others. In addition to their "road warrior" status THE BREAKFAST have played the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Minnesota twice, featuring other bands like Widespread Panic, Trey Anastasio, The Black Crowes and many more. Summer Festivals like moe.down, Gathering of the Vibes, Camp Bisco, High Sierra, and other notable events have also invited THE BREAKFAST to share their sound. After celebrating 1000 shows and eight years on the road, Keyboardist Jordan Giangreco left and the band continued on as a power trio with guitarist Tim Palmieri pulling double duty on guitar and keys (not that you'd know it). Today THE BREAKFAST has rounded out its sound with virtuoso Matt Oestreicher on keyboards. Together they rage forward with renewed mission and commitment. Tighter, funkier, and more versatile than ever before THE BREAKFAST are turning heads with each show.
The first two years as a band were spent honing THE BREAKFAST sound -- an aural cornucopia that combines the best elements of the artists the band members most admire and now a new sound has emerged. One that blends complexity with taste, one that brings back Rock'n Roll improvisation of rule breaking, no guts no glory, and spirituality of youth and rebellion. No holds barred in delivery or diversity fans are to expect something different every show and will not be disappointed. THE BREAKFAST give one hundred and ten percent every night they play.
Moxie Epoxy is the bands best recording effort to date. It captures everything the band does live and also has studio moments showing the growth of their craft. Impeccable drumming from Adrian Tramontano in tone and rhythm all over the record combined with Ron Spear's driving bass lines is already a rhythm section from heaven. Mix that with Tim Palmieri's genius on guitar musically the album melts minds. Lyrically the band has been known for being fun and wacky but this record shows the band maturing and discussing deeper issues. Life, choices, anger, love, and heartbreak are themes being touched with Moxie Epoxy. All being self-taught musicians and vocalists this album marks a new chapter in the development of their career and fans all across the country agree. Moxie Epoxy is an album not to be ignored.
THE BREAKFAST have appeared at festivals and stages with the likes of Moe., Umprey's McGee, The Disco Biscuits, Soulive, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Dark Star Orchestra, funk legend Bernie Worrell, Robbie Kreiger of the Doors, and The Wailers to name but a few. At every stop, music fans -- Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers alike -- have found THE BREAKFAST to be a group like none they have ever heard. The band's ability to mix up a wealth of styles and feed of their influences, combined with the pure talent and raw energy put out at every show make THE BREAKFAST a band not to be missed.
