01/18/2010: THE MACHINE to perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on April 2, 2010

ATLANTA, GA—THE MACHINE, America's best Pink Floyd show, will perform accompanied by the ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at the Woodruff Arts Center on Friday, April 2nd at 8:00 P.M. Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 8th and will range from $20.00 to 75.00.

The program will include The Machine performing Pink Floyds’ Dark Side Of The Moon
in its entirety with the ASO. Additionally, the band will bring in an Interstellar Light Show, which is a computerized moving light show, complete with a multimedia element including animation and special effects that will duplicate the classic Pink Floyd concert experience.

For over 20 years, The Machine has perpetuated Pink Floyd’s legacy through a multi-dimensional approach, faithfully recreating its timeless music. Significant use of expanded theatrical elements prevalent in Pink Floyd’s elaborate stage displays such as spectacular state-of-the-art lighting, multimedia accompaniments, and impeccable sound, result in strikingly faithful interpretations giving the band a reputation for excellence and creating an intimate connection with their loyal audience. Their live show most often presents a cross-section of the sixteen-album repertoire that Pink Floyd amassed during their 30-year tenure as pioneers of experimental rock. Hailed for their “chilling accuracy” by Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine praises that The Machine "sound exactly like Pink Floyd," while The Village Voice declares that "The Machine is dead-on." The adoration continues from Bob Ezrin, the co-producer of Pink Floyd's seminal album The Wall, "these guys are great!"

The Machine has performed at Bonnaroo, Musikfest, and all across Europe. In recent years, the band has been backed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Delaware Symphony Orchestra, San Diego Symphony Orchestra, Richmond Symphony Orchestra and more, receiving glowing praise from their fans, their peers and their conductors.

“The Machine is amazing--definitely the real deal! This is one of the best shows I have ever experienced. The addition of the full symphony gave the music of Pink Floyd a powerful new dimension. The audience absolutely loved it. I want to conduct this program again!"
-Matthew Garbutt, Resident Pops Conductor, San Diego Symphony

“I had such an incredible time working with The Machine at the Mann Center this past July - they are a first-rate band and consummate musicians. This show is a fantastic example of the magic that can happen when the best of two worlds are brought together.”
-Sarah Hatsumo-Hicks, Minnesota Orchestra
