Hot Breakfast! - Upcoming Gigs
Hey friends! There are a bunch of Hot Breakfast! shows coming up in the next few weeks. Check them out! (Hot Breakfast!, as you know, features Jill Knapp, who I interviewed back in 2013 for the first episode of Pinpoints.)
THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 4 to 7pm: "Hercules Untapped!" BBQ & Beer Garden (1313 E. Market Street, Wilmington) One Thursday each month this summer, World Café Live at the Queen brings some great food and delicious beer & wine over to the Hercules Plaza (13th and Market) and sets up a little outdoor beer garden. There's wonderful food, great drinks, and, of course, awesome live music - and that's where we come in. We'll be sharing the bill with another performer to be named later, and it's our job to keep the place rockin' from around 4 to 7pm. If you catch yourself in downtown Wilmington, come on over and rock out with us. It's free to hang out, but you'll obviously have to pay for food n' drink. (Worth it.)
SATURDAY, JULY 2, 3pm to 1am: Love Fest Philly 2016 at World Cafe Live Philadelphia (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia) - 30 BANDS, THREE STAGES, for $9 FEEL THE LOVE! Created by The Hype!, Love Fest Philly is a brandy-new new day-long music festival, and we are thrilled to be a part of it. The tireless Boy Wonder has booked 30 great and diverse acts from around the country to perform on three stages at World Cafe Live in Philly - and you won't want to miss a note. The music kicks off at 3 pm, and Hot Breakfast! will take the main downstairs stage around 7 pm... but the show has been known to run early (of all things!) so please get there early so you don't miss us! But don't just come for us. Check out the lineup here (Facebook), and get your tickets here - only $9 in advance ($13 the day of the show). And get ready to rock out - all day n' night! (Note: If you buy your ticket at the door, please tell them you're there to see us; we get paid for every person we bring.)
SATURDAY, JULY 9, 8pm: Bellefonte Cafe (804 Brandywine Blvd., Wilmington) - A night of DEEP CUTS and some surprises, too... It's gonna be a great night of deep-cuts and surprises as Hot Breakfast! takes over the Bellefonte Cafe, one of our favorite intimate venues for live music. Imagine the windows open as summer breezes waft through while Hot Breakfast! dives deep into our catalog for tunes we rarely play live. Sure, we'll deliver some of your dork-rock favorites, but we'll also perform mellow cuts, rarities, and some of our favorite covers - and we might even have a special guest join us. Best of all, cover is FREE, food is DELISH (and served much faster than years past), and drinks are BOUNTIFUL. (Oh - and tips for the band will be ACCEPTED.) It's gonna be an unforgettable night, and a real treat for Hot Breakfast! fans looking for a different, more mellow experience.
SATURDAY, JULY 15, 9pm: Bar XIII (1706 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington) - We're gonna ROCK OUT! Enough of this mellow stuff. Last month, we opened for the Dead Milkmen (along with Decontrol) for two sold-out shows at Bar XIII, and MAN did we have a blast! Bar XIII is now one of the best venues for live music in Wilmington, and we are so proud to return there on July 15th, where we'll share the bill with Magnetic North, Heartside, and Wild Virtù for some melodic pop/rock music. And every one of us is gonna be bringing the ROCK. ($5 Cover, 21+ only) Hot Breakfast! kicks off the night at 9:00 pm, so make sure you're there on time! This will be a very different show than the Bellefonte gig, so don't hesitate to come to both.
SATURDAY, JULY 30, 3pm to 7pm: White Horse Winery (106 Hall St., Hammonton, NJ 08037) -- Happy 6th Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to Hot Breakfast! We'll celebrate the 6th birthday of Matt & Jill playing together as Hot Breakfast! with a 3-hour gig at the brand new White Horse Winery in Hammonton, NJ. Come and hang out with us over some incredible wine and delicious eats! (Note: as of the sending of this letter, we aren't sure if we're playing from 3:00 - 6:00 pm or 4:00 - 7:00 pm. We'll update our calendar as soon as we know.).You don't wanna miss a note of Hot Breakfast! - or a drop of delicious wine at this terrific venue. We'll be playing a nice combo platter of originals and covers at this venue.
