It's almost becoming repetitive at this point but week after week tribute bands seem to be the way to spend your dollar. The occasional local act may garner some praise but with the bang for your buck mentality, you might as well get what you pay for. In this case, its Bricks In The Wall, a band about as stellar as Aussie Pink Floyd re-creating the genius of Gilmour and Waters. What better way to bring in this nation's overindulgence in celebrating itself then with English premier progressive sounds. Who needs fucking Yankee Doodle Dandy or Fiddler's Boston Pops when "Interstellar Over Drive" provides both a bigger bang and a higher high? You want "Us and Them"; you got it, in all its gloomy glory. The evenings with BITW can sometimes take 2.5 to 3 hours, because tackling THAT catalogue takes a killer's patience and an incredible liver as you dive into the second side of Wish You Were Here, you already burst thru the equivalent of a 12 pack and 3 shots of Mexico's clearest. Dada is doing a hell of a job keeping up with the race to stay alive and it continues week in and out to provide the best sounds while remaining a truly great haunt. Bricks In The Wall was created as another faction of Floydism, whereas laser light shows, films and touring acts continue to showcase all the excellence of Cambridge, England's finest foursome. So if you're sick and tired of 1-2-3 Go! And need to go back into your prism, and then this is the band and the place to do it. Space is the place, but for right now, this will do.
