School’s back in session with Pinky & a brand new Bridger brew
The sun may be setting on summer, but that means Pinky and the Floyd will finally return for Bridger Brewing’s annual Back to School Block Party, set for Friday, August 27th at 7pm. Doors at 6pm.
The rockin’ show promises to be the biggest party of the summer with delicious grub and brews, full stage and dynamic light show, and hours of your favorite Pink Floyd music performed by one of Montana’s premier live bands! Tickets to the show are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. The event is ALL AGES. Hop Lounge will pour 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 Fearless IPA for your tasting pleasure. Don’t miss this long-missed tradition to ring in the school year.
“If Led Zeppelin were the band most responsible for hard rock’s vertical expansion in the ‘70s, hitting previously unforeseeable heights for the genre, Pink Floyd were the band that expanded it the most horizontally … Obviously, they stretched out the length – double albums, side-long jams, songs that had more movements and ideas than entire LPs by other bands. But they also broadened the music’s width, with one of the most far-reaching musical palettes of any band approaching their magnitude.” – Billboard
Known for their performances of full albums, Pinky and the Floyd have fronted some legendary theatrical productions including “The Wall,” “The Division Bell” and “3 Different Ones” featuring Animals, Darkside and Wish You Were Here.
With this repertoire, it’s obvious the band has explored the material… but Pinky would agree that the biggest challenge has always been performing the material everyone knows and loves. The stuff that everyone hears on the radio… The big hits like “Comfortably Numb,” “Run Like Hell,” “Time” and “Money.” That’s the stuff people want to hear, but it’s also the stuff that people expect to hear in a certain way. It’s engrained in us as Pink Floyd fans, as concert-goers, and lovers of music.
