Bandcamp Friday- May 2025

Mayday! It seems appropriate as we’ll spend the next weeks (or months) in a state of panic as we wait for our American work permits to (hopefully) be processed. We can hurry things up but it will cost a second small fortune- it honestly is more relaxing to actually be out on the road.

Even so we are shamelessly trying to raise funds for the adventure and a Bandcamp Friday certainly helps.

A couple of interesting new CDRs are being launched today while a clean up of the stock cupboard produced a few titles that we thought were gone for years.

For a much requested CD-R edition of ‘Tales from the Trenches’, go here or here.

Meanwhile , last October’s Dynasti performance in Nijmegen is also now available on CD-R . For that one, go here.

And from orbit service:

happy bandcamp friday!

North American tour dates 2025

We’re happy to announce the So Lonely In Heaven Tour, North American Dates for Fall of 2025

Way way back in the early days I used to say a lot about ‘The Terminal
Kaleidoscope’, a concept comparing the fragile planet we live on to a
drowning human being with life flashing before his or her eyes, the
images constantly accelerating. It’s 2024, a little over 2 decades
since the turn of this unbearably turbulent century and the concept
appears to have become an unlikely soap opera where we are the cast.
Let’s hang in there….. EK

SO LONELY IN HEAVEN – THE CREATION

‘So Lonely in Heaven’ is The Legendary Pink Dots’ second album since
the World stopped for a Global Pandemic.
With members scattered across three countries and two continents, our
guilty confession is that quite a few Air Miles were consumed in its
creation.
Ideas were spun across Cyberspace for months, but the magic happened
collectively in small spaces with the tape running.

SO LONELY IN HEAVEN – THE MESSAGE

The machine is everything we are. It sees everything, hears
everything, knows everything and feeds, speeds, drinks us down, spits
us out – we lost control of it at the instant of its conception.
You may cough, curse and die, but the machine will resurrect you
without the flaws, at your peak, smiling from a screen, bidding
someone in a lonely room to join you.
It’s an invitation from Heaven, where anyone can be anything they want
to be, but it’s a Nation of One.
You’ll be everything we are. You’ll be a shadow of yourself. You’ll
repeat yourself- endlessly. You’ll be desperate for some kind of
explanation .

You’ll be lonely. So very lonely…

The Legendary Pink Dots 45th Anniversary Tour Diary

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS’ 45th ANNIVERSARY TOUR 2025 (DAY 1)

A cold Wednesday in the Netherlands, and in a few hours , the Legendary Pink Dots’ 45th Anniversary Tour begins. It will be complicated – you heard the joke about how many elephants can squeeze into a Volvo? Nobody is chucking here…
There is a mountain of boxes to squeeze into our modest rented van, and as someone who never came close to solving a Rubic’s Cube, I’m glad that Erik and Joep are taking care of things.
Tonight’s destination is the Mezz venue in the charming city of Breda. Do pass on the word!
Incidentally, caption for the first image…. ‘Hand baggage’ ( I.e. It fits under the seat on a budget airline)
