Press release, 2009 ”Dark Side Tour 2009” in Germany – a tour with more than just one side One of the most ambitious indoor tours this year covers 11 cities from May 17th to May 29th. The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show perform the immortal Dark Side Of The Moon album and the show will be a strong synthesis of legendary music, a kick ass band and a unique sound, light and film show. The music : You know the drill: More than 30 years in the charts and a re-entry in the American Top 10 as recently as 2007. A dull week shifts 10.000 new units in the US alone, and so it goes. Dark Side was the first true concept work from the hands and minds of Roger Waters & Co., and sadly it’s every bit as relevant today as in 1973. An entire industry has evolved around helping the average citizen “choose his own ground”. At the same time our employers demand efficiency and dedication around the clock. Indeed, we often feel “we never seem to find the time”. Money rules in an even more perverted manner than it did in the bad old days of Watergate. Weary super powers still point their fingers at foreign cultures and thumb the Bible in order to gain credibility. Brain damage is still caused on those who fall prey to those who want to determine who their fellow men are and should be. Strangely enough, these weighty topics are covered in some of the most accessible music the Floyd ever recorded. The band: The Floyd it isn’t, but the audience reactions speak for themselves. The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show is the only Danish non-original band whose shows are eagerly anticipated events. Stunningly authentic and deeply emotional, The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show shows often make families and groups of friends crisscross Denmark to witness this cool and yet warm 10 piece perform live. Now Europe is catching on in a big way and audiences and promoters across the world are waiting in line. And this is not woolly nostalgia for a 50+ audience. Sure, they’re part of the audience, but the ones who know all of Roger Waters’ words are the fresh faced 15 year olds at the front line at the shows. The show: Dark Side Of The Moon is the backbone of the show’s second half, but the punters can look forward to a two-hour show full of hits and oddballs. Ever since The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show’s triumphant performances of The Wall (check out the mail stage photo on the band’s website) The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show has being preparing for the Dark Side tour. “We’ve been using quad sound since late 2006 which is a lot of fun and a great asset to the show. It really pulls people inside,” the band says. Film crews have been busy working up movies, stills and graphics that stay loyal to the Floyd vibe but also offer something unique. “It’s sad to watch when Floyd tribute bands merely rip off visuals off of the Pulse show or whatever. The music is so inspiring to us that we feel compelled to create our own visual world to go along with the great music. We acknowledge that Pink Floyd’s uniqueness was partly down to the fact that they went for all your senses and tentacles. We share that ambition,” The Scandinavian Pink Floyd Show band says.
