Alan Zemaitis - Keyboards, Vocals |
|
|
|
|
 Hailing from Toronto, Alan began taking piano lessons at age 8, while his Dad tastefully spun Pink Floyd records into his conciousness on a constant basis. It was always there... Fast forward to the Rosedale School of the Arts where he began to really explore the Pink Floyd discography. And then Alan was graduating from York University with honours, the Jazz Piano prize, and a depth of musical understanding well beyond his years. Fast forward though some divine coincidences, and he's the newest member of Floyd Factor - the man with Two Wright Hands says it all makes perfect sense now...

Kevin "The Machine" Mendes - Drums, Vocals |
|
|
|
A Montreal native who grew up in Toronto, Kevin is an honours music graduate of Mowhawk College. A consumate pro, and schooled in many music forms, Kevin's mastery isn't entirely new to the band. He delved more deeply into the Pink Floyd catalogue during a stint with Floyd Factor in 2008, and got hooked. And the band is glad he did! Kevin captures even the most subtle dynamics within the material, and his performance energy is contagious. He is well known for his work with several Toronto area recording projects, such as national touring artist Emma Lee. The band is tickled Pink to have him on board as Time-keeper of the Floyd Factor machine! Visit Kevin on MySpace at: www.myspace.com/kevinmendes |

A well-seasoned pro with 20+ years of touring work across Canada under his belt, with bands like Deepest Purple, Cuts Like A Knife, and Shovelhead Jones, Chris has performed literally thousands of shows. Chris grew up with the music of Pink Floyd, and FF is the realization of a long held desire to perform this classic material. Bringing an intimate knowledge of Roger Waters’ bass lines to the band, Chris also posesses the warm, earthy voice that distinguishes David Gilmour’s vocal parts in the show. Chris is an energetic performer, and anyone can see that he loves what he does. When not touring, our "1st baseman" likes to spend time with his young family, and is often found dining on international cuisine, attending JFK Assassination Symposiums, or buying rare musical instruments. |
