In news about a Pink Floyd tribute band, Pigs on the Wing will return to Bend Saturday for a show at the Tower Theatre. Since forming in Portland in 2006, the band has developed into one of the best Pink Floyd tribute acts around, known for offering a thoughtful and respectful take on the band’s classic material while also infusing it with a bit of Pacific Northwest punk vibe.
Pigs on the Wing focus on ‘70s-era Pink Floyd and have performed albums like “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” in their entirety. Their current feature show is a full performance of the 1975 classic “Wish You Were Here,” followed by a second set of songs selected from the Roger Waters era of the Floyd.
