ABOUT POTW and THE WALL:
Capturing what made Pink Floyd iconic is a hard thing to do, and Pigs on the Wing come as close as anyone weve heard. That looming mystique, that inscrutable grandiosity, that ability to lick the tender parts of our brains and get us really thinking Those qualities are alive and well with Pigs on the Wing. - Adam McKinney, OLY ARTS 5/10/17
Arguably Pink Floyds best known and most controversial work, The Wall shows an entirely different side of the band than earlier,more space rock - psychedelic pieces. The Wall is a beautiful, yet angry, emotionally, socially and politically charged piece showcasing the pinnacle of Roger Waters' work as a composer and lyricist with
Pink Floyd. A concept album through and through, The Wall follows the madness, isolation, violence and slide into fascism of the fictional character Pink in an intense first person narrative portrayal.
Famously contentious in its making and mind-blowing in the scale of its live production, The Wall is a piece Pigs on the Wing have circled around for years but only now feel the timing right to produce in its entirety. Pigs on the Wing believe the music and lyrical themes speak for themselves and bear no political commentary from them in their relevance to our modern day - but do feel the album makes a timely statement. In some ways, The Wall represents the very side of Pink Floyd that they, as a tribute band, are not: huge scale of production, elaborate stage craft, and layered instrumentation while Pigs on the Wing fancy themselves representing more of the visceral rock side of Floyd. In the end, the band thinks that this juxtaposition is perfect and offers a take on The Wall that everyone will enjoy, from die-hard to causal fans.
Portland, Oregon based Pink Floyd tribute Pigs on the Wing brings an intense, high energy experience to the table that is both true to the original and unapologetic in its interpretation, something which the band members believe has set it apart from the other tributes from the very beginning. Forsaking a traditional approach to the tribute band concept, you'll find no look-alike gimmickry or attempts at creating a faux audience experience. Instead, with Pigs on the Wing you'll experience a group of seasoned veteran musicians steeped in the NW rock scene who share a common love of the music of Pink Floyd.
