Q&A: Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets brings the Echoes Tour to North America
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets formed in 2018 with the explicit mission statement to showcase the sounds of Pink Floyd’s early years.
Along with Spandau Ballet guitarist and singer Gary Kemp, keyboardist Dom Beken, and Mason on the kit, the quintet took its name from the 1968 album A Saucerful Of Secrets. After debuting at London club institution Dingwalls in 2018, the group toured Europe and North America, releasing the double Live At The Roundhouse recording.
Postmedia: It’s nice to see the band returning for another go. You must be chomping at the bit to be back?: Well, taking what you think is a few weeks off and having it become two years wondering if you will ever play again was hard. However, the band and the audience were so desperate to get out and experience live music again that everything on both sides of the footlights came together perfectly.
Q: For the band that gave us such meticulously crafted albums as the Wall or Animals, hearing the punky swagger of the Nile Song or trippy Obscured By Clouds seem like another band entirely?: They are songs where you can try something different if you like and it works. Not like Comfortably Numb, where the guitar solo is expected to be the same each time, almost religiously.
