(UPDATE) WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Oh No! A Pink Floyd, Phish AND Talking Heads Tribute Band?
UPDATE, 2:45 p.m.: HumBrews sends along some :( news:
Pink Talking Fish had to cancel our show tonight (Wed) because their vehicle broke down. Please share, let your friends know and help us get the word out. You can get your tickets refunded at the place of original purchase. Online tickets will be refunded in a few business days to the credit card used. Apologies, folks, we are super bummed too.
Sorry, Pink Floyd/Talking Heads/Phish superfans! Replacement fun can be procured by scrolling your Lowdown below. Perhaps a trip to Minnesota (ATL) is in order?

It will not surprise local jam fans that HumBrews is the site for Wednesday night’s performance by “hybrid tribute fusion act” Pink Talking Fish, a band that “takes the music from three of the world’s most beloved bands and creates a special treat for fans of the music.” Details on that and other midweek delights in your Lowdown listings below.
