P is for PINK FLOYD

by Rick Emerson
(from Rick Emerson's Rock'N'Roll A-Z)

There are very few things in this world that are are absolutes. Fewer still are the universals when it comes to music. What can we agree on? Back in Black...'Smells Like Teen Spirit'...and Pink Floyd. From Heavy Metal to hipper-than-thou Hawthorne types, EVERYONE has tuned in, tuned out, gotten high, felt low, slept with someone, or simply drifted off to sleep to the sounds of Pink Floyd. Their sales set records, and their sound set standards. From studio craftsmanship to over the top lights and effects, no one was ever quite like the Floyd.

Starting as an avant-garde art rock band helmed by Syd Barrett, Floyd created underground stirs with their mix of off-kilter stage theatrics and improvisational style. As Barrett descended into madness, he was dismissed from the group -- his place as band leader taken by Roger Waters, who steered the group in a more commercial and focused direction. Basing their songs on the slow decay of modern life, Pink Floyd created some of the most enduring song cycles in music history, with the interplay of Waters lyrics and guitarist Dave Gilmour's melodies creating the soundtrack to contemporary isolation.

From Dark Side of the Moon to The Wall, Pink Floyd's albums were more than works of art. They became cultural fixtures, part of the common language of music. To hail them, to hate them, to love them or loathe them...one must know them. For they changed everything.

And that, Kyle, is why P is for Pink Floyd.

The SoN FloydShow

Although none of the members of Sons Of Nothing had yet been born when Pink Floyd's career began, they all grew up as fans, with the music in their blood. What began as an occasional cover tune at early SoN concerts became a full-fledged tribute show by the summer of 2002.

FloydShow performances involve the four core members of Sons Of Nothing supplemented by additional musicians, mesmerizing video production, quadrophonic sound, and other theatrical goodies aimed at providing the most authentically Floydian experience possible.
