The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show

- Much more than just another covers band!

From the outset in 2002 it resembled a novelty or, more likely, a musical disaster waiting to happen. Today, The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show is recognized as one of the best Danish bands to witness in concert and one of the only serious bands to carry on the Pink Floyd mantle. For the thousands of FloydFansTM, who have already been there, there is little doubt: Only Pink Floyd themselves come as close to the original sound as The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show.

For the 10 members The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show is about much more than simply learning a set of songs off a bunch of old records. It’s about studying, understanding and presenting an emotional experience created by the members of the visionary band that was Pink Floyd. Therefore The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show shuns the term “covers band”:

“We like to see ourselves as a concept band. We work hard on getting every aspect of the presentation right: The depth of the lyrics, the sound scapes, the epic musical constructions and – when there’s room for it on stage – the visuals. Everything has to be spot on and still remain faithful to what we feel is the spirit of Pink Floyd,” the members say.
And it seems like The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show got it right judging from the facial expressions and reactions of the bands’ audience, that spans three generations.

Yet The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show refuses to trade in cosy back-to-the-seventies sentimentality.
”We have no time for nostalgia. The songs are still relevant in today’s world, and they resonate strongly with the younger parts of the audiences. The young understand the music on their own terms,” the band members say.

The audience recognizes that empathic attitude, and that’s probably the main reason The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show is able to walk the line between cult and popular entertainment. And the statistics speak for themselves: No FloydFanTM would come back for more, if the band didn’t give their favourite tunes the right treatment.

Today, The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show has built up an enormous repertoire with about six hours of vintage Floyd material to choose from. Even when going to a three-hour show, the audience will never quite know what to expect. And the band really has all the bases covered: From the young Pink Floyd’s innocently trippy debut ”The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn” (1967) through the masterful ”Dark Side Of The Moon” (1973), ”Wish You Were Here” (1975) and ”The Wall” (1979) up to the Floyd’s Indian summer-era albums ”A Momentary Lapse Of Reason” (1987) and ”The Division Bell” (1994).

It sounds AND it feels like Pink Floyd.
