The Breakfast

New Haven, CT-based progressive shredders The Breakfast released their second live album, Live As Is, to date on Saturday, September 12th, 2008. The brand new record chronicles the band's epic performance at The Field in Bridgeport, CT on February 28th, 2009, and will be available FOR DOWNLOAD ONLY through the band's website. The Breakfast celebrated the new album with a day-of-release show at The Westcott Theater in Syracuse, NY and will tour the Northeast through the remainder of 2009 promoting the new disc.

The Breakfast is a hard-hitting jazz rock experimental quartet whose music ranges from progressive rock to sonic landscapes. Since the group's inception 11 years ago the band has played over 1000 shows throughout the country and has now released 7 albums to date. The Breakfast's sound and energy are founded in the psychedelic but their music features some incredibly well-crafted song structures and melodies, showing the members' gifts as highly talented musicians. Indeed, original members Tim Palmieri (guitar) and Adrian Tromantano (drums) provide the distinguishing characteristics the band has thrived on from the beginning. The two are able to reach near-telepathic communication on stage, ripping through progressive shredding licks and jams without missing a beat. This is held together by the sonic glue of longtime, though newly re-added, keyboardist Jordan Giangreco, and supported from beneath by the jazz sensibilities of bassist Chris DeAngelis.

In 2003/2004 The Breakfast accepted their first Jammy award for Best Emerging Artist at The Madison Square Garden Theater along with Phil Lesh, Dr John and other distinguished honorees. In its long career the band has performed with other music greats such as The Wailers, moe, Mike Gordon, Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, Robby Krieger (The Doors), Garaj Mahal, Soulive, Lettuce, Tea Leaf Green and Particle. Their intense touring schedule has featured appearances at such notable music festivals as 10,000 Lakes Festival (twice), moe.down, Gathering of the Vibes, Camp Bisco, and High Sierra, among others.

Rejuvenated by the recent re-addition of original member Jordan Giangreco on keys, these four virtuosos continue to turn heads with each show. Together they rage forward with renewed mission and commitment to solid performances for passionate and dedicated fans everywhere.
