Tipping The Hat: Lozz Benson

Which act are you paying tribute to and why? The music of Pink Floyd. Paying tribute because... well, it's Pink Floyd, man!

What was their best period musically? I am drawn to their earlier material. I love the psychedelic aspect and love Nick Mason's drumming.

Your favourite song of theirs and why? The first song I ever heard was Wish You Were Here in grade nine at high school. I thought it was just such a mysterious and beautiful song.

Which album of theirs would you give to a newbie who had no idea about them to best represent them? For me, Dark Side Of The Moon would be it. This was my first introduction to Floyd and it had such an impact on me as I had never heard anything like it before.

When and where is your gig(s) giving them the nod? 27 & 28 May, The Basement; 3 Jun, Dee Why RSL; 4 Jun, Laycock Street Theatre, Gosford
