Public Service Announcements want you to believe that your brain on drugs is comparable to an egg frying in a pan. But do you really want to listen to people who use eggs as metaphors? We may not know what your brain looks like on Pink Floyd, but a laser...

Public Service Announcements want you to believe that your brain on drugs is comparable to an egg frying in a pan. But do you really want to listen to people who use eggs as metaphors? We may not know what your brain looks like on Pink Floyd, but a laser light show must come close.

The Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine will give your brain the Floydian experience it deserves tonight at its premier of the “Shine on Laser Show” at Hard Rock. This 20-years-running tribute band will not disappoint — because, as written by Spin Magazine, this band “sounds exactly like Pink Floyd.” Music aficionados can expect to hear songs from Floyd’s entire 16-album catalogue, and Pink Floyd fans will get obscure tunes such as “Fearless” and “Interstellar Overdrive.” Leave the fried eggs at home.

The show starts at 8 p.m. at 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood. Tickets range from $27 to $47, and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.
