The Australian Pink Floyd Show, more commonly but less precisely known as the Australian Pink Floyd, are a real band. They just so happen to be vaguely similar to a British band called Pink Floyd (hereafter referred to as the British Pink Floyd to avoid confusion) meaning people sometimes mistake them for a tribute act. But what tribute act makes AUD$7 million a year and sleeps with a different sheila every night? They sell out 35,000-seat arenas over three consecutive days, can Elvish Presley or the Rolling Clones say that? No, no they can't. The band even have their own successful merchandise line, which, whatever the rumour says, is not just a box of unsold Pink Floyd t-shirts that have been resprayed.

Furthermore, the Australian Pink Floyd and the British Pink Floyd are completely different. For instance, British Pink Floyd had a big hit with the song "Wish You Were Here", whereas Australian Pink Floyd's equivalent hit was the strikingly different "Australian Wish You Were Here". Aussie Floyd are a band in their own right, despite the implication in the name that they're just an Australian version of the other Pink Floyd. However, in the words of band guitarist David Gilmour Barry Wozzer, "They're more of a British version of us." (Full article...)
