Recieved from Kevin Brown this evening:

We are delighted to be able to announce that the band are finalising plans for the biggest and best Australian Pink Floyd Tour yet in 2011.

After twenty two years together, and having seen hundreds of other Pink Floyd tribute shows come and go, the band have decided it was time to improve the Show even further, and have parted ways with their former promoter, CMP. 

Details of the new UK, European and US tours will be announced shortly, but the band are pleased to announce that we have already appointed Sound Engineer: Colin Norfield (Pink Floyd & David Gilmour), Drum Technician: Clive Brooks: (Nick Mason's drum technician), Show Production: Kevin Hopgood (Kylie Monogue & Mark Knopfler) and Legal representation: Simon Dixon at Bray and Krais (Oasis, Blur, Take That) and they continue to be managed by Kevin Brown at Zoo Management. 

We look forward to delivering an even better Show featuring the same brilliant musicianship, stellar state-of-the-art light show, and using the best crew, equipment and sound systems available today.

The band continues to feature Steve Mac on Guitar/vocals, Colin Wilson on Bass/vocals, Jason Sawford on keys and the inimitable Paul Bonney on drums.

'We are all thrilled to once again have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and dedicated people not only on stage but behind the scenes on next year's tour. We are also very excited to be playing in the US again' said Steve Mac today.

Thank you all for the fantastic support you continue to give us. Accept no substitute.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Nick.

...and their new website is going to launch, apparently, in about 15 minutes.

Good news to hear! I felt that CMP fell through on their promises last year, and I guess TAPFS felt the same way as well.

Now we just need a tour schedule!  :

Does this mean the US tour will actually feature Aussie Pink Floyd?  Not the US/British cover-band I saw last year called Aussie Pink Floyd?  (I don't think any of the guys who are pictured on the new official site played my show in the US last year)

Seriously, this is really confusing these 2 press statements posted on this fan site.

What does this mean?  I've only ever seen the "Aussie Floyd" that played the US last year.  I know that was not considered the main Aussie band.

Like is the "British" band that CMP is now promoting in fact the band I saw?

Frog, check out the thread below this one.  It may help explain things.
