We always wanted to do a Halloween covers set. It wasn’t until Spring of 2023 that will and opportunity coalesced at last.
We spent the better part of three months learning the ins and outs of arguably the darkest, angriest Pink Floyd album. Animals an album about, well…a lot of things. But mostly it’s about trying to be human while capitalism spends a lifetime grinding value out of you. Pink Floyd showing they were still counter-cultural, all the while letting fissures crack in their band, eventually leading to The Wall. It’s almost unbearably moving at times and still gives us goosebumps after years of listening and playing this music.
We performed this set of music live at Kilowatt Bar in San Francisco on October 26, 2023. It was a tremendous amount of fun paying tribute to one of our most favorite and influential bands.
Video of the performance is also available on YouTube.
Enjoy!
