Australian Pink Floyd Show
The Australian Pink Floyd Show, often referred to as Aussie Floyd or TAPFS, has been described as the Gold Standard, the benchmark by which all other Pink Floyd tribute bands are measured. This globally-renowned band brings one of the world's most distinctively psychedelic rock bands to life with a remarkably accurate replica of Pink Floyd's music.
Emerging into the world in Adelaide, Australia, in 1988, the group was initially created by Lee Smith for a London-based agent looking for an Australian act. The first line-up consisted of Lee Smith (drums), Jason Sawford (keyboards), Steve Mac (guitar, vocals), Colin Wilson (bass, vocals), Grant Ross (guitar, vocals) and Trevor Turton (sax, vocals). In the early years, they performed locally before venturing out for a tour in the UK in 1993.
From then on, Australian Pink Floyd Show began to make waves far beyond their homeland with their out-of-this-world tribute performances. Celebrating the music of the original Pink Floyd band, which consisted of influential members like Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason, and David Gilmour, the Australian Pink Floyd Show replicates both sound and visuals with utmost precision. Their stage setup includes a round screen for projections, inflatables — a nod to the creative elements used by Pink Floyd during their live shows and album covers.
The repertoire of the Australian Pink Floyd Show mainly focuses on Pink Floyd's two most commercially successful albums, "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall". However, there are also moments from other popular albums including "Wish You Were Here", "Animals" and "The Division Bell".
With jaw-dropping sound and lighting effects, incredible projections, and the much-loved iconic inflatable kangaroo, the Australian Pink Floyd Show recreates the ambience of a real Pink Floyd concert. This Grammy-nominated tribute band feeds the audience with a multi-sensorial experience that brings back the authentic feelings and memories linked to Pink Floyd's timeless music.
Of particular interest to fans is the seal of approval from Floyd's own members. David Gilmour invited the Australian Pink Floyd Show to perform at his 50th birthday party, while Pink Floyd's long-time manager once praised them as "probably the best tribute band in the world."
In 2019, the Australian Pink Floyd Show celebrated their 30th anniversary with a new global tour, proving that the desire to hear and experience Pink Floyd’s music shows no signs of diminishing. In their decades-long journey, they have effectively bridged the geographical and temporal gap, uniting Pink Floyd fans from all corners of the globe in their shared love for this legendary rock band. Their dedication, talent and esteem for Pink Floyd's music have managed to create more than just a tribute — they offer a truly authentic Pink Floyd experience that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
