The Bay Area’s HOUSE OF FLOYD performs the music of Pink Floyd, and has gained a strong following for their unique ability to enthuse both the hard-core fans of the early adventurous Floyd and those who enjoy the songs and soundscapes that later brought them widespread appeal. They capture the essence of each of the various Pink Floyd eras from the formative Syd Barrett days, through the 70’s and the final post-Waters era.
In the Pink Floyd tradition, a HOUSE OF FLOYD concert incorporates sound effects, moving lights, lasers and video projection – including many of the original, legendary backing films used by Pink Floyd. The set lists on any given night might be from an actual Pink Floyd concert, or a custom HOUSE OF FLOYD mix, but always includes rarely heard live arrangements used by Pink Floyd in concert – as well as the occasional obscure pieces that never made it to vinyl and were heretofore unknown to all but the serious collectors.
HOUSE OF FLOYD affords the opportunity for those who never saw Pink Floyd to “get” what made those shows so extraordinary. Those who were fortunate enough to have seen Pink Floyd in concert, get the chance to experience it again albeit by a pretty exciting “surrogate band.” You may even see a giant inflatable pig!
“You guys were SENSATIONAL! Saw you in Humboldt 2 yrs. ago & you were great THEN, too. Saturday night you rocked Eureka to the core…some VERY old-school (which I love ever since I embraced Pink Floyds’ music at Hollywood Bowl in 1973.) Seeing as they will likely never play together again, you have taken the reins as my favorite touring band today. What a SHOW!!! I am still so amped I can’t sleep! THANKS from the pulsing heart for pulling Eureka out of the doldrums; introducing the more obscure tracks to our youth is one fine bit of education. You are teachers, don’t leave us alone – we need it, and we need you back A.S.A.P.!” – Lori Rafdal, Eureka
