THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS

In the organizer's words:

The Legendary Pink Dots are a Dutch band that was founded in the United Kingdom in 1980 and has been musically influential over the years despite its distinct underground character. The band's name derives from the pink nail polish dots on the piano in the squat where founding members Edward and April lived. The band relocated to the Netherlands in the mid-eighties.

Their music is unique and difficult to categorize, but comparisons can be drawn to bands like Pink Floyd and Can. Their sound has been described as a mixture of psychedelic rock, industrial, synth-pop and avant-garde. They have released over 40 records and are constantly touring the world.

Over the decades, the band's line-up has undergone many changes. In addition to founding member Edward Ka-Spel, the current line-up includes Erik Drost, Joep Hendrikx, Raymond Steeg and Randall Frazier.

Their new album "So Lonely In Heaven" will be released in January.
