Aussie Floyd

Post by johnjohnstone »

I've seen them a few times, and they're very good (and popular in the North West of England). All good musicians and the light show is first-class for a tribute band.

If you visit their web site (http://www.aussiefloyd.com/) you'll find music and video downloads of them performing. :D

I've seen Pulse (Portsmouth Eng. based).
Very good, they did The Wall with local school kids, plus other tracks, lead guitarist was up to DG's standard!

Perfect Alibi is coming my way soon, any one seen them?
They don't give much away on their website.

Cheers

Ive seen 4 Floyd tributes,

The Australian Pink Floyd, who were really good, as someone else said ''very polished''.

Think Floyd, who were quite possibly the worst thing I have ever subjected my ears to!

Sheep, who were a short lived Brighton based outfit that got together with the sole purpose of playing at the Brighton Dome on the 25th Anniversary of Dark Side first being played there. they were really good but the singers voice was a bit husky. They did this great Another Brick In The Wall thing which kicked off with Happiest Days, then went into Brick 2 naturally and instead of winding down the solo or just coming to a dead stop they brought it back round into the verse again only using Another Brick 3 as a third verse which lead naturally into Goodbye Cruel World which closed the first set, it was really well put together and I was sufficiently impressed, they did a pretty good Arnold Layne as well.

and finally there was these 3 guys with a bunch of session musicians at Earls Court in 1994, only joking :D

Pink Fraud play round the Brighton area alot apparently, they were in Hove a few weeks ago but i missed them, will try and catch them next time tho.

I have seen this band live on many occasions. Words cannot explain it. I have all thier live CDS. You just have to go and see them. I cannot describe it.
