Australian Pink Floyd Show

A friend of mine is a huge fan of Pink Floyd – and he is raving about the Australian Pink Floyd Show. Another friend of my husband’s went to their concert in Chicago and said they were excellent. He was happy that they played a good range of the songs and said for the most part they were all huge crowd pleasers. In addition, the staging was fantastic. It was on a smaller scale than the Pink Floyd shows he had seen a decade or two ago, but said it was really great.

APF features two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, a keyboard player, a saxophone player and two female backing singers. The band uses film and animation footage, just like the original Pink Floyd and adds some Aussie humor - instead of the filmed footage of the man in the flying bed in “On The Run” there was computer animation of a sunglassed kangaroo in a flying bed and Pink Floyd's footage of politicians for “Brain Damage” were replaced with other 'lunatics' of the past 20 years - i.e. Bush, Blair, Saddam Houssein.

For all you Pink Floyd fans, click here to find out if they are coming to a city near you - it's a great deal for over two hours of Pink Floyd renditions and some great technical visuals.

Cleaning Up Our Directory

We are working hard here at uscity.net, cleaning house, so to speak. We have started a major clean-up of the listings in all of our state directories and since we are a human-edited directory, this is a major man-hour project. We have some employees devoting all their time to this project and most of our employees spending at least part of their time helping.

Our goal is to get rid of the listings that are no longer working correctly. Some businesses have changed their web address, some just no longer have websites and sadly, some are out of business. The first thing we do if we find a dead link is try our best to find out if the business just has a new URL. If that's the case, we will modify the listing so that it gets our users to where they want to be. If that fails, we have to delete the listing completely.

If you notice that your business is no longer listed, please just re-submit your business with updated information. Click here for easy sign up.

We feel that being of service to our users is our first priority and that means having relevant and working links in all of our categories. We truly want to be the best directory we can and this cleaning is periodically necessary.

We also have a great surprise in store for people considering membership, but more on that later!
