A dedicated group of Adelaide-based musicians will bring the legacy of Pink Floyd to Geelong next month.
The 150 minutes of Experience Floyd makes it Australia’s largest tribute show to the legendary English band, promoters said.
Bassist Mark Dole hoped the show would keep Pink Floyd’s music alive for generations to come.
“We want to stand up as the next representatives of these guys in the 21st Century by being the truly authentic Pink Floyd concept show for Australia.”
The show’s six-piece outfit aims to replicate the sights and sounds of a Pink Floyd concert.
The band spent nearly two years arranging members and honing its sound before debuting in 2011 and settling on the final Experience Floyd version in 2014.
Lead guitarist Daniel Hunter wanted to bring Pink Floyd to life for an audience who never saw the band in concert.
“Each member of the band loves and respects what the original Pink Floyd gave to the world with their music,” he said.
“We aim to ensure every aspect of the original Pink Floyd music is captured authentically.”
The show features memorable classics from Pink Floyd’s best-loved albums including Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Wish You Were Here.
Geelong Youth Choir will add local flavour to the show when it appears on stage for a medley and The Wall.
The band also features Jason Miller on drums, Paul Bindig on keyboards and synthesisers, Mark MacNab on rhythm and acoustic guitar and Matt Goodluck on lead vocals.
Experience Floyd plays Geelong Performing Art Centre’s Costa Hall on 3 September.
