For over 21 years, The Machine has perpetuated Pink Floyd’s legacy through a multi-dimensional approach, faithfully recreating its timeless music. Significant use of expanded theatrical elements prevalent in Pink Floyd’s elaborate stage displays such as spectacular state-of-the-art lighting, multimedia accompaniments, and impeccable sound, result in strikingly faithful interpretations giving the band a reputation for excellence and creating an intimate connection with their loyal audience.
Their live show most often presents a cross-section of the sixteen-album repertoire that Pink Floyd amassed during their 30-year tenure as pioneers of experimental rock. On occasion the band performs Pink Floyd albums in their entirety, including Dark Side of The Moon in sync with the film "The Wizard of Oz" as well as the film version of The Wall, pleasing the most die-hard of fans. Their show is nothing less than a full out musical experience that’s not to be missed.
Hailed for their “chilling accuracy” by Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine praises that The Machine "sound exactly like Pink Floyd," while The Village Voice declares that "The Machine is dead-on." The adoration continues from Bob Ezrin, the co-producer of Pink Floyd's seminal album The Wall, "these guys are great!" As Guitar One Magazine notes, "…you know you've got it going on when you sell out BB King's in New York City and Roger Water’s sax player jams with you." The New York Times, Washington Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer have all chimed in on the precision performances of The Machine.
BWAC's Summer Art Show, Red Hooked! Over 200 artists will be exhibiting over 800 new works of art.
499 Van Brunt Street
Many of the works offered this time are quite affordable (there are small, and in at least one artist's case framed, photos for $25) for people on middle to upper-middle class budgets; most are priced from the mid two figures to four figures, and there is a charity auction where prices start at $50.
The exhibit is located at 499 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn opposite the Fairway Supermarket (see the BWAC website for directions). The views of the harbor outside the exhibit space would be worth the trip and with the exhibit are a lovely bonus (see my article about the Summer 2009 show for photos).
