City Winery Atlanta presents Think: X - An Exploration of the Music of Pink Floyd live on Monday, October 20th at 8pm!
Think: X is a boundary-pushing collective that reimagines the music of Pink Floyd through a bold, immersive lens. Spearheaded by Scott Page (saxophonist/guitarist for Pink Floyd, Supertramp, and Toto) and powerhouse vocalist Roberta Freeman (known for her work with Pink Floyd, Guns N’ Roses, and Joe Cocker), the group transforms iconic compositions into raw, emotionally charged experiences that delve deep into blues, jazz, and heavy rock.
The band’s all-star lineup includes:
Kenny Olson, the original guitarist for Kid Rock and a blues-rock virtuoso with a searing, soulful tone.
Norwood Fisher, legendary bassist and founding member of Fishbone, bringing a deep, funky backbone and magnetic stage energy.
Stephen Perkins, drummer for Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros, infusing each performance with polyrhythmic intensity and percussive innovation.
Will Champlin, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose emotive vocals and keyboard wizardry add rich melodic textures.
Derek Day, an electrifying guitarist and vocalist with a fearless, theatrical style that bridges the classic and the contemporary. May 2nd Release Date: Derek Day - Label 51/Flatiron Records.
Think: X performances are more than concerts—they’re fully immersive journeys featuring panoramic surround visuals, enveloping the audience in an evolving tapestry of sound and light. Drawing from Pink Floyd’s sonic legacy while forging something entirely new, the ensemble invites listeners to explore the shadowy, soulful depths of the music with fresh ears and open hearts.
King Youngblood is focused on reclaiming rock music, specifically black-fronted rock packed with strong songwriting, Afropunk attitude, and an undeniable exhilarating live show. Alternative Press calls King Youngblood “Seattle’s Alt Rock Princes” - they sure got that right. Twenty-three-year-old founder and frontman Cameron Lavi-Jones, along with, drummer Paul “Styqx” Stoot, cellist Chet Peterson, and bassist Samy Garcia have a singular mission: grab heavy guitar/drums rock by the collar and drag it into the willing arms of the fresh new generation of fans currently fueling the world-wide resurgence of rock music. The world agrees with affirming descriptions including AfroPunk Magazine in October 2021 declaring “King Youngblood’s skill at transforming a small phrase into a massive hook is at this point unparalleled in the world of heavy music.”
Their 2022 year is explosive with singles and videos releasing every 30-45 days including the banger – Thousand Songs with a music video that premiered on noncommercial Seattle radio station favorite KEXP 90.3 FM. BIG THANK released March 13, 2022 with a resoundingly loud and rocking celebration at The Crocodile’s Madame Lou’s Room May 11, 2022 filled with industry folks and fans head banging with wild abandon.
Incessant touring, a comic book series called Afrothunda depicting King Youngblood as rockers and superheroes from “Planet Xenon,” more music videos, and unique merchandise all are part of the cavalcade of activity and stuff erupting from King Youngblood in the wake of their breakthrough album Big Thank. And more music is coming in the fall as this band is as prolific in the studio as they are undeniably super charged on stage.
