Sometimes you set yourself the task of putting together a newsletter and become stuck while typing the opening sentence.  Where to begin? There’s just, well, so much happening in the wild World of The Legendary Pink Dots.

A carefully constructed programme of releases  seems redundant now as so much seems to be coming out at the same time.

Live shows are also in the pipeline , so we hope to see you in November!

IMPORTANT:

For all orders please write to EK at qaspel@gmail.com regarding availability. Alternatively this is our site for direct orders: legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com

You are right to snigger at my naivety.  I listened and twisted this story around inside my head, and it did indeed seem completely unbelievable.

Now of course it’s 2014, and Im older and wiser and I have to laugh at myself too. Now I know wasn’t a theory. Now I know it’s true. Continue reading Summer 2014 Newsletter →
