The band is about to roll out a series of live shows featuring some of the most famous classic rock albums – starting with Pink Floyd’s groundbreaking 1973 Dark Side of the Moon.

It will also double as a fundraising event for headspace.

“For us it’s an opportunity to get out and play some really cool music and show the community how good the calibre of talent is in Albury-Wodonga,” says Redbelly Black drummer and the driving force behind the album session show.

“But rather than just do it for ourselves, we should be doing something where we can raise money and help headspace.”

The band, usually a three-piece featuring Lamont, bassist Jezz Simon and guitarist/vocalist Troy Palmer, will draw in almost a dozen music colleagues to play in the show, at Albury’s SS&A Club on Friday, October 13.

Dark Side Of The Moon spent almost 750 – 14 years – weeks in the Billboard 200.

“I sat down with Troy Palmer one day after a gig with Monday Saints, there’s so many great local musicians and talked about a way we could get together more often.

“After a bit we came up with album sessions, playing the greatest albums in history. Troy said we need to go big, set the bar pretty high. Dark Side Of The Moon’s one of the highest grossing albums of all time.

“It’s such an iconic album and there’s so many different themes in it, so we set the bar pretty high.”

There will be plenty of prizes for music fans during the concert, with all proceeds going to headspace, with Lamont eager to give something back to the community.

For years he has attended the Winter Solstice event in Albury’s QEII Square and through his music has seen people in need of support.

“I like the way the community gets behind organisations like headspace,” he says.

“With music I’ve got something that I can contribute, be a participant rather than sitting back.”

He tips a more laid-back, casual rendition of the album but still guarantees all the bells and whistles synonymous with the progressive rock breakthrough.

And because the album runs just under 45 minutes from start to finish, part two of the show enables the band to “come out and smash out some of their other big hits”.

The crew at the SS&A are also working on lighting and visuals for the concert, to help bring the true Pink Floyd experience to the stage.

Lamont hopes the album sessions concept expands to about four albums a year and be able to tour multiple shows.

Cold Chisel, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac and Queen albums are already in the pipeline.
