THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS DECEMBER NEWSLETTER
If this December newsletter drifts becomes incoherent at any point then I will not apologize. After a truly delightful but very intense tour of USA, two of us ventured to Chile just 13 days ago.
We played 3 shows there (2 in Santiago and one in Valparaiso) and were treated with such kindness and met so many new friends the experience will live on until we leave this planet. Santiago has just about most thriving truly "underground " music scene I have personally encountered in years. Centred around the excellent Un Festin Sagital, there is a myriad of bands and artists performing ,recording and experimenting.
There is just such a deep quality to the music that demands more attention than I can provide in this newsletter introduction, but I'll do my best to reveal more as time passes.
Certainly i'd move heaven and earth to see Un Festin Sagital play outside Chile. This is of the best live bands I have seen in my entire life. Ah I could go on endlessly...but that jetlag keeps kicking in. Still on to LPD matters...the news follows and there's a lot of it.
here is a list of all shows coming up...

11 April Nantes/Floride

NEW LEGENDARYPINKDOTS.ORG LAUNCHES
A new site for legendarypinkdots.org has launched. This is going to be the "Web 2.0" type site with constantly changing content and more interactivity while the site here will remain as the Cloud-Zero Archives.In the forthcoming months expect interactive features (like the gallery, a forum, and trading post) will be transitioned over there. (People who have given pictures over here don't worry, nothing is gone.) We're still working on combining lyrics, press releases, video clips, and reviews into the discography here while all the text from the old site is now in its new section here. Thanks for your time and patience during this construction period.
We offer full collection of mp3 music. You can free mp3 downloads for fun. Get it now!
