The name of the band says it all: Pink Talking Fish is three tributes in one. The band re-creates the music of Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish. But not by playing one song at a time. This band’s hook is that they have figured out their chosen tune’s fault lines and used them as points of departure. They cut and paste. For example, instead of Talking Heads’ “Slippery People” all the way through, you get a version that starts out with a song by Phish called “Sand.” Or, Floyd’s “Time,” which is combined with “Ghost” by Phish and the T-Heads’ “Psycho Killer.” And it’s all really good. Pink Talking Fish nails each of the three bands they cover.
