Pigs on the Wing brings the experience and energy of veteran members of the Northwest's underground original rock scene together in a refreshing, beautifully psychedelic take on the timeless music of Pink Floyd.

Far from an attempt at Floyd-impersonation, POTW generally does accurate versions of the original music but is unapologetic in its interpretation and improvisation of the music in ways that we believe any Pink Floyd fan will appreciate. Rather than focusing on exact replication of Floyd albums or any sort of look-alike mimicry of band members, POTW seeks to capture the atmosphere and rock energy of Pink Floyd in as unpretentious a style as possible.

Pigs on the Wing evolved from Portland rock band Oxcart's performances of Dark Side of the Moon during Winter 2006. Members include guitarist / vocalist Jason Baker, bassist / vocalist Ben Carey, keyboardist / vocalist Matt Jones, and drummer / vocalist Jason Rieve, all of Oxcart. They are joined by vocalist Courtney Sproule and lighting / production manager Dwight Carlisle, both of Portland act Groundscore.
