The Colonial Theatre presents The Machine

01:15PM / Friday, March 20, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Colonial Theatre will present The Machine performing Pink Floyd on April 18th at 8PM. Tickets for the performance are $40-$25 and can be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street Monday-Friday 10AM-5PM, performance Saturdays 10AM-2PM, by calling (413) 997-4444 or online at www.TheColonialTheatre.org.

“They duplicate the sound and hits of Pink Floyd with chilling accuracy.” –Rolling Stone

“The Machine is dead on.” –The Village Voice

The Machine has forged a twenty-year reputation of excellence, extending the legacy of Pink Floyd while creating a legacy all its own. Over the years, The Machine has rocked audiences across North America, Central America, Europe and the Middle East. Known for performing a diverse mix of the Floyd’s extensive sixteen-album repertoire, the band focuses on making every show an authentic Floydian experience for its fans. The Machine’s stellar musicianship, dramatic lighting, multimedia accompaniments and passionate delivery of inventive set lists put it above and beyond the rest.

Starting out in the bohemian village of Nyack, NY, The Machine played a diverse repertoire of rock including many classic Pink Floyd songs. Show after show, the fans enthusiastically called for more of the Floyd and the band quickly developed a reputation for recreating the sound and spirit of Pink Floyd, right down to the extended psychedelic jams. From here, there was no turning back.

In the fifteen years since, The Machine has played over fifteen hundred shows to an estimated audience of over one million people. The Machine has shared the stage with the likes of The Guess Who, Jefferson Starship, Steppenwolf & Eddie Money and has performed along side of such respected musicians as Jeff Pevar (Phil Lesh & Friends, David Crosby), Matt Abts (Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule), Vince Welnick (Grateful Dead) and of course, Norbert Stachel of Roger Water's touring band.

The Machine has been featured in the Amazing Pudding, a Pink Floyd monthly published in England and distributed throughout Europe and the U.S.; and in the Roger Waters Fanzine as well as in P.U.L.S.E., a German music magazine. In 1994, The Machine gave an interview for the New York Times, which was included in an article illuminating successful tribute bands. They have also been profiled in the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer and Gig magazine.

The band’s greatest thrill to date has been the number of venues that immediately request their return and the new fans who instantly fall in love with the band. Drummer Todd Cohen stated, "it's always a thrill to discover that many of our fans weren't fans of Pink Floyd until after they saw The Machine.”  Singer/Guitarist Joe Pascarell summed it up by saying," It's a privilege to play great music and earn a living from it. It's thrilling and humbling all at the same time."
