(UPDATES FROM 2010)
November 2010New Show!A new show in New Mexico was just added to the tour: The Process Presents at Corazon And these are the remaining tour dates for November: Tue Nov 9 - House of Blues Dallas, Dallas, TX August 2010NEW ALBUM - Seconds Late For The Brighton LineUnlike most acts of their vintage, The Legendary Pink Dots look forward. After more than 25 years, they continue to make compelling new music that is demanded by fans and maintains the high level of quality that set their careers in motion. Led by singer/songwriter Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist/songwriter Phil “Silverman” Knight, the band continues to create their singular brand of modern psychedelia. Edward Ka-Spel’s lyrics breathe with a sagacity and cleverness only found in rock’s greatest writers. Their new album “Seconds Late For The Brighton Line” finds the band in familiar territory; pulsing Krautrock, dark and sinister pop and epic post-industrial soundscapes. The album invites the listener to put on head phones, close their eyes and embark on a technicolor journey. Stand out tracks include the epic electronic groove of “Russian Roulette”, the pretty naivete of “Someday” and the chilling goth-pop of “Endless Time.” The recent departure of long-time band members Niels Van Hoorn & Martijn De Kleer has left The Legendary Pink Dots to operate as a quartet. The new crew will embark on an extensive North American tour this Fall that celebrates the band’s 30th Anniversary. Tracklist The new album is out on October 5th, 2010. 30th ANNIVERSARY US & CANADA TOURFri Oct 15 - Biltmore, Vancouver, BC THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS SUMMER 2010 NEWSLETTERMany apologies for the long silence from LPDs headquarters as sad personal events overshadowed everything else in early 2010. Now we're making plans for the future. New releases are in the pipeline and be prepared for a torrent of activity from The Dots in the coming months. The 30th Anniversary Tour continues in October in North America and, following cancellations earlier in 2010, will be resume in Europe next Spring. There will be a string of shows in Poland in April (probably). Originally these dates were slated for this September but it was felt that it was best to wait for a few more months as we were so recently in that country. Shows in St.Petersburg and Moscow are also on the cards for Spring 2011.
