The Exboyfriends win Surrogate Bands contest

Posted July 10, 2013 by Floydian Slip

New York City a cappella group The Exboyfriends won our 3rd Annual Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd Cover Contest.

The seven-member group won with a pitch-perfect rendition of “In the Flesh” from Floyd’s 1979 album “The Wall.” Their submission incorporates both parts of the song as well as “Outside the Wall.”

The Exboyfriends have been performing together semi-professionally for more than 10 years in New York City clubs, colleges and cable television, and over nationally-syndicated radio.

“In The Flesh” is the opening track on their new studio album “Happy Ending,” available on iTunes.

The Exboyfriends receive $200 in merchandise courtesy of The Official Web Store of Pink Floyd.

Second prize, selected by random drawing, was The Surrogate Band, an Italian tribute act composed of seven musicians, who submitted a live medley of Floyd songs.

The band receives a hardcover copy of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell’s coffee table book “For the Love of Vinyl: The Album Art of Hipgnosis” and a CD copy of “A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd.”

All entrants receive a free one-year subscription to Sound+Vision magazine.
