Which One’s Pink?
The Last Show At The Seaholm Power Plant
An all-star Austin tribute to Pink Floyd live in concert at Austin’s most breath-taking venue. Austin’s best studio and touring musicians come together to recreate a Pink Floyd experience. UPDATE: We have just confirmed with city officials that this will be the last show ever at Seaholm Power Plant before a long multi-year redevelopment plan begins. While Seaholm’s time as an event space has been brief, the events that have taken place at Seaholm have been amazing and the last two years has only endeared the public even more to this art deco industrial timepiece. So whether you are a fan of Pink Floyd or not, come celebrate this fleeting but epic era in the history of an Austin icon.
Benefiting: Anthropos Arts
Anthropos is an Austin-based nonprofit organization, working primarily in the East Austin community to bring top professional musicians into Title I, low-income middle and high schools to offer free music lessons, workshops, master classes, and performance opportunities to economically disadvantaged youth giving them an outlet and pathways to scholarships and a brighter future.
The Concept:
What classic rock music fan hasn’t looked up at the smokestacks at Seaholm Power Plant and envisioned a pink pig flying above? We at The Electric Company could not let the small window of opportunity left for shows at Seaholm go by without bringing that vision to life. This epic Pink Floyd tribute for the ages will recreate the live Pink Floyd experience, completed by an amazing light show from ILIOS Lighting, top-flight sound, and special effects.
Opening Band: Moving Matter
The Band
Recreating a Pink Floyd sonic experience is ambitious to say the least. Some of Austin’s best studio and touring musicians have been recruited to the project to recreate a 2-set show of Pink Floyd consisting of material from the full career of Pink Floyd complete with the favorites as well as deep tracks rarely or never played live. The music director, Chris Maresh, has a multitude of his own honors, albums, and tours under his belt and has pieced together a collective of musicians who are some of the most technically capable musicians at their instruments you can find, all with their own share of accolades.
