HEY YOU(Pink Floyd Tribute) was created with the idea of taking the audience on a musical and visual excursion into the musical minds of one of the most provacative bands of all time-Pink Floyd. We create this musical and visual swirl by using Intelligent Lighting/Lasers/Fog/Props and an Intelligent Light enhanced Circular Screen with Multimedia video. To further enhance the music HEY YOU tours with 2-3 female backing vocalists and a Sax Player.
HEY YOU reviews both Album cuts and Live performance material to help create the live musical beauty that was Pink Floyd.
HEY YOU has the ability and experience to perform in any venue from Clubs to Large Theatres and Festival events.
HEY YOU is known for performing entire Pink Floyd Albums as they did on our Dark Side of NY Tour 2009 which brought us from Buffalo NY to Virginia performing the entire DSOTM album in large venues and Theatres.
Our 2010 Hey You Were Here Tour kicked off at the Riviera Theatre in Jan where they performed the entire DSOTM and WYWH albums in one evening-they even crashed a prop plane into the stage-what could be more Pink Floyd!
HEY YOU has also been known to recreate actual concerts and in May of this year they performed a re-creation show of Pink Floyd performing in the now demolished Buffalo Memorial Aud in 1973!
They also recreate the feel of Pink Floyd by having more than one lead singer. Pink Floyd had 3.
Hey You attempts to re-create the Pink Floyd experience by keeping the lead vocals accurate. If Roger sang it ...so does the bassist.. If David sang the song ... the guitarist does... You get the idea.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 90 - 150 minutes

Hey You revved the Riviera Theater 1.23.10 (Buffalo.com - January 24, 2010)Hey You, THE Pink Floyd tribute band, keeps that mood fresh with their rendition of the English group. I personally was never a huge Floyd fan. However when the show started with the lights, the fog..I knew I was just starting on a really cool journey. In no time, my head was noddin, my boot tappin and I was singin along..they played til nearly 11pm, even delivering a 2-sided encore. I had to laugh out loud seeing people light their lighters..it was fun to observe just the same. They traveled through Pink Floyd's albums..The girls kicked it with 'Great Gig' Maria and Kristen hit those notes, delivered that hot emotion and transformation into 'Breathe.' That really impressed me. They went there, and did that, beautifully. Shine On..was done with that power of mood, from isolated to pick it up to jamming to jazzy I loved the melodic waling. It was that jam that I blew my parents' speakers on back in the day. 'Learning to Fly' was performed, with emotion. The whole show captivated their audience. Seeing mostly people who enjoyed the music when it was new, and some young kids who probably are offspring of same, filled the Riviera for a night of feeling that cool, laid back, psychedelic presence. Maybe I am a bigger Floyd fan than I thought. The show kept my interest, rekindled some fond memories, and when they were thru, felt like I got my money's worth and that I would recommend seeing them.
