See you soon Austin! We’re headed to LEVITATION, playing Empire Control Room & Garage on October 28!

Tickets are on sale now: levitation.fm/tickets/

In an effort to raise funds for The Dots’ U.S Tour in The Fall, we’re launching a Summer sale on our Bandcamp page. As of today, many digital releases which had a set price will be temporarily available as ‘name your price ( with no minimum)’. New titles will be added daily throughout the week and the action will last until 23 August. A number of physical releases are also temporarily discounted.

Even after decades of making sounds, I’m like a toddler at Christmas when a new release drops on the doormat. Today saw my solo cd , “Prints Of Darkness” land here together with “Remember, You Are An Actor”. The latter is the latest collaboration with Gordon Whitlow (Biota) in his ‘Sorry For Laughing’ project. Fellow travelers on the latest journey include Patrick Q. Wright, Martyn Bates (Eyeless In Gaza) and Janet Feder. You can hear the results here:

I’d like to shine a torch on a special music collection where all proceeds will go to a good soul in need. It’s the 6th Chapter in the ‘Proverbial’ series and there are exclusive songs from Pink Dots past and present (including your humble narrator) plus close friends such as Orbit Service and Surreal Funfair. -EK

Sorry For Laughing is a project started by Gordon H. Whitlow in 1986. Recently, Gordon reactivated the project and changed it from a solo effort into a new supergroup that consists of himself, Edward Ka-Spel of  The Legendary Pink Dots, and Martyn Bates of Eyeless In Gaza. Also contributing is Denver guitarist Janet Feder, The Dots’ former violinist Patrick Q.Wright and Biota’s Tom Katsimpalis.

Following up on See It Alone, this is the second release by Sorry For Laughing.
All pieces began from improvisations on vintage equipment by Gordon including an old pump organ, an autoharp and an accordion. These pieces were sent to the collaborators who put their own interpretations. Gordon then mixed the results…

At last “Prints Of Darkness” has made it to cd. A big thank you to the Klanggalerie label in Vienna in their noble mission to prove that this format is alive and well, sounding and looking rather wonderful.

Available on TLPD’s Bandcamp and through Klang Galerie.
