City gets taste of Pink Floyd

Echoes of Pink Floyd to perform tracks from band’s iconic 1979 album when it comes to Toowoomba

CELEBRATING 35 years since Pink Floyd last toured The Wall, Echoes of Pink Floyd will perform tracks from the band’s iconic 1979 album and will engage local schools to provide the Brick in the Wall choir.

The tour also celebrates 50 years since Pink Floyd released their first album and will play a selection of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits that spans the band’s momentous career.

The performance is synchronised to the music and designed to recreate the sights and emotions of a genuine Pink Floyd concert.

“It’s not just the music, it’s the circle, the show and the whole experience,” member Paul Bindig said.

“We are the only act that is touring trussing that supports this incredible four metre circle that can project 6000 lumens video. It really is a show not to be missed.”

Several years in development and having accumulated more than 5000 hours of rehearsal time to perfect these songs, Echoes of Pink Floyd comprises a six-piece band featuring Daniel Hunter on lead guitar, Jason Miller on drums, Mark Dole on bass, Paul Bindig on keyboards and synthesisers, Mark MacNab on rhythm and acoustic guitar and Matt Goodluck on lead vocals.

Their aim is to authentically replicate the brilliant sights and sounds of one of the world’s greatest progressive rock bands of all time, Pink Floyd.

The Adelaide tribute has been garnering attention from audiences since they began in 2009,and have been likened to the original band.

The band will perform at the Empire Theatre’s Heritage Bank Auditorium on Thursday, June 14. For tickets go to empiretheatre.com.au.
