The Bleeding Heart Band was the name gave his backing band for a brief period of his post-Pink Floyd solo career.

Although Waters released "The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking" in 1984, and toured as a solo artist promoting that album (with an unnamed supporting band), he was still technically a member of Pink Floyd, and did not officially leave the group until late 1985.

His first album as an ex-member of Pink Floyd was the soundtrack to "When The Wind Blows" in 1986. It was for this soundtrack album that the band moniker "The Bleeding Heart Band" first appeared.
