Echoes of Pink Floyd will perform at the Wagga Civic Theatre

Echoes of Pink Floyd is headed to Wagga for the very first time and lead vocalist Matt Goodluck said it’s a show not to be missed.

The Adelaide tribute has been garnering attention since they began in 2009 and Mr Goodluck has been with them for the past four years. 

“We all do this because we love the music and it’s a challenge to pull this off,” he said.

“We’re all very hard workers and we pride ourselves on being able to nail this music note for note.”

Mr Goodluck said the band is keen to come to Wagga for the first time. 

“It's great to get out and see a place we never have seen before and regional towns are always great audiences,” he said. 

While the show is targeted towards Pink Floyd fans, Mr Goodluck said often people who are dragged along by their partners will still enjoy the concert. 

“They’ll say they realised how many of the songs they know,” he said.

“There's something about this music that sweeps you up, it’s very emotional and it has a lot of depth.

“You can sink your teeth it.” 

 Mr Goodluck said he was living the dream being a part of the group.

“I'm a music obsessive and I have been ever since I was a little kid,” he said. 

“When I hit 12, I started really discovering my own music and it wasn't just what was on the radio had on. 

“Singing was something I always wanted to do, but never had the confidence.”

After working overseas Mr Goodluck said he saw an advert looking for a lead vocalist for Echoes of Pink Floyd and the rest is history.

“I auditioned and nailed it,” he said. 

Mr Goodluck said Wagga won’t be disappointed in the show. 

“We pay a lot of attention to the getting the note perfect and we project a lot of video to add to it,” he said. 

“We are really looking forward to it.” 

Celebrating 35 years since Pink Floyd last toured “The Wall”, Echoes of Pink Floyd will perform tracks from the band’s iconic 1979 album and will engage local schools to provide the “Brick in the Wall” choir.

Synchronised to the music and designed to recreate the sights and emotions of a genuine Pink Floyd concert, Paul Bindig said.

“It’s not just the music, it’s the circle, the show and the whole experience,” he said. 

“We are the only act that is touring trussing that supports this incredible 4 metre circle that can project 6000 lumens video.

“It really is a show not to be missed.”

Several years in development and having accumulated over 5000 hours of rehearsal time to perfect these songs, Echoes of Pink Floyd comprises a six-piece band.

Featuring Daniel Hunter on lead guitar, Jason Miller on drums, Mark Dole on bass, Paul Bindig on keyboards and synthesisers; Mark MacNab on rhythm and acoustic guitar and Matt Goodluck on lead vocals.
