Anyone else into these? They basically cover entire albums in a dub/reggae style. Just got the new one, which is Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They've also done Dark Side of the Moon and Ok Computer.

I don't know them. I remember Dread Zeppelin though - sounds like that kinda thing?

They take it slightly more seriously than Dread Zeppelin and are much better at it.

Aaw. I prefer bands who don't take it seriously, but I'll check that link out when I get home. Cheers :thumbsup:

They don't take it that seriously, they include bong noises as often as possible.

Went to see them live last year and they are bloomin fantastic. I loved both Dub Side of the Moon and Radiodread, but I haven't heard Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Dub Band yet.

Wouldn't mind seeing them live. I saw they were doing a couple of gigs last year but couldn't afford much at the time. The new one's good, worth getting.

Cracking gig. So much energy. The only disappointnment was that they didn't do Great Gig in the Sky, which is their best cover IMO. But then, if the singer they brought with them wasn't confident about doing it then I'm glad she didn't attempt it, cos she could have completely ruined it.

Yeah. Actually, I was just talking about a Pink Floyd covers band I'm off to see tonight on another thread. They covered that last time and it was spot on, I have to say.

Australian Pink Floyd, Sheffield Arena, covering all of The Wall followed by a greatest hits encore. Inflatables, lasers, the lot. Really good!

I've always wanted to see them. I've heard they're really good. Sadly, even if there are still tickets going I doubt I will be able to make it tonight :(

Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Make sure you do see them, last night was incredible. If you're a big Floyd fan, I'd even recommend trying to get to a show on this tour. The effort they've put into the stage show is amazing. The guitar solo in Comfortably Numb was worth the entry alone.

Radiodread is ace, their version of Karma Police is amazing.

I've heard so many good things about the Australian Pink Floyd. I'm a huge Floyd fan, I really must go and see them sometime.
