they're a country/bluegrass band that does a really fantatic take on dsotm. mandolin, banjo, fiddle, the whole bit. it's great. they're obviously big fans of the floyd and have a great sence of fun about them. some of the most amusing bits were their recreations of the album's taped dialogue clips. the various members of the band recited well memorized lines to great effect.
another thing that some purists might cry "foul" about is their version of "money". or should i say, "whiskey". they quite effectively changed rogers lyrics to put their own spin on things. "money, it's a gas..." becomes, "whislkey, it's a sin..." it's all very well done.
oh, did i mention that they're all dressed up as character's from "the wizard of oz"? yeah, that too.
unfortunately, i didn't know that they were playing until i got to the venue. if i had known about them before hand, i would certainly have arranged to tape the set so that i could share. too bad. as it turns out, there was a videographer there and he recorded three songs. i spoke to him and he says that he'll send me a copy of what he got. we'll see...
in the meantime, here are a couple of badly snapped pics from my phone. you can't really seem the band very well, but i mostly just want you to notice our call letters on the front of the stage. thankyouverymuch.
