Crowd Pleasing National Touring Act Pink Talking Fish Returns to Putnam Place Saturday
SARATOGA SPRINGS – Ed. Note: The return of Pink Talking Fish represents a triumph on some important levels. The first is that a national touring act (see spring tour poster at the end) has found its Cap Region home in Saratoga Springs. PTF have been here many times and have built a nice local following – at $20 a pop! The other important factor is the venue itself: Putnam Place has transitioned into a venue that is able to broaden its offerings – musically and otherwise – while still remaining faithful to the type of programming that got it there. I expect to be grooving to PTF – here – for years to come. – AG
Pink Talking Fish is a Hybrid Tribute Fusion Act that takes the music from three of the world’s most beloved bands and creates a special treat for fans of the music.
Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish are all more than just bands… they are Phenomenons. Their creations have artistically inspired people and their mindblowing live performances have brought people together to form a special sense of community around the love for their favorite band.
Although the music from each act is different, Pink Talking Fish has discovered that fusing the material together creates an amazing story. The epic emotion of Pink Floyd…. The funky, danceable layerings of Talking Heads…. The multitude of styles, unique compositional structures and pure fun of Phish…. to merge these three into one gives music lovers a special experience.
Pink Talking Fish features Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums and Dave Brunyak on guitar. This is a band created by musicians who love the music of these acts. It’s purpose is to heighten people’s passion for this music by creating something fresh and exciting for fans.
Discovering connections is part of the fun: Pink Floyd’s “On The Run” seamlessly fitting in the middle of the composition of Phish’s “You Enjoy Myself”. Perfectly placing Phish’s “Sand” into the groove of Talking Head’s “Slippery People”. Segued collections from all three acts such as Run Like Hell / Making Flippy Floppy / Piper / Run Like Hell or Mike’s Song / Have A Cigar / Once In A Lifetime / Weekapaug Groove. These creative combos are the spirit behind Pink Talking Fish.
Here’s a jumbo sized preview – PTF’s take on Dark Side of the Moon (Note: this video is nearly two hours long – enjoy!
