Summer may be flying, but that means Pinky and the Floyd will return to Bridger Brewing’s Outdoor Summer Concert Series for the 3rd Annual Back to School Block Party, set for Friday, August 25th at 7pm. Gates at 6pm.
The rockin’ show promises to be the biggest party of the summer with crazy drink and food specials, a big stage and lights, and 3+ hours of your favorite Pink Floyd music performed by one of Montana’s premier live bands! Tickets to the show are $15 in advance at Cactus Records, CactusRecords.net, and Bridger Brewing, or $18 at the door. The event is ALL AGES. Sidecar Bar Service will serve up adult beverages for those 21+. To top it all off, Pinky is again teaming up with the beer wizards at Bridger Brewing to offer a brand new, exclusive event beer called the “MONEY” IPA for your tasting pleasure. There’ll be a few other tricks and surprises from the band too, so don’t miss what is surely the event of the summer! Pinky and the Floyd calls Montana home, but has frequently been called the “Northwest’s Hottest Pink Floyd Tribute Band” since their founding in 2007. The grassroots effort puts on an amazing live show that’s both note-for-note and improvisational, but it’s their superb musicianship that sets them apart from other tribute bands. Their energy and stage presence are unprecedented! All Pinky members are professional working musicians, assembled from genres across the board, culling their expertise to produce what has clearly proven to be a successful musical venture. All told, there are over 20 bands that the members of Pinky and the Floyd are part of, spanning genres from Americana and vintage swing, to hip-hop, jazz, country, salsa, funk, rock, blues, and on and on. They see their varied backgrounds as strength in diversity, knowing that each member “…unconsciously affects the overall sound. As players, musicians, and artists, whatever you’ve got comes with you…” And between the 10 of them, they have a lot! Pinky and the Floyd offers up a big sound and is an experience not soon forgotten. You can expect albums in their entirety, and a little something from every Floyd genre — from the Syd Barrett years to The Division Bell, and everything in between. Tell your friends … and time your buzz. It’s a party!
