The Amber Herd - mixing post rock spaciousness with vicious walls of sounds at pleasingly regular intervals…!

The Amber Herd started life in spring 2006 as a four track recording project for an internet tribute album produced by the Neptune Pink Floyd website.

The band contributed three tracks to the project, one of which, The Thin Ice from The Wall was chosen for the album. The producer then decided that two all day tribute gig marathons would be a good way of publicising the release (which has since been blocked by Pink Floyd’s management!) and two shows were arranged in Brighton and Glasgow over consecutive weekends in September that year. Of course, the band were asked to play at these shows and rather than come clean and admit that there was no gigging band at that time, lunacy was considered to be the better part of discretion and a live band was formed, featuring, as is rare these days, four fifths of the current members. The band’s first proper show was in front of 250 Floyd-heads at The Komedia in Brighton- immediately after a tribute band who played the whole of the Darkside of The Moon including a jaw dropping Great Gig in the Sky. No pressure then….

We spent the next year or so getting our stuff together as a live four piece, mainly acoustic, band, albeit one with electric keys and guitar effects pedals.
